This sermon examines what the Bible teaches on how to pray effectively. What makes some prayers more powerful and effective than others and what are the obstacles that make our prayers less effective.

Pastor Ashwin Ramani preaches Part 2 of his sermon series “Hope in Troubled Times” with a powerful reminder that in spite of the despondency and despair of what might be happening in our world, God’s power is available to us to overcome whatever it is we are facing. We have an “Anchor that holds us in the midst of the storm.”

Pastor Ashwin uses Isaiah 6 to remind us that we are not the only generation that has faced troubled times - there are people who have lived before us who faced far more troubles but anchored their hope in the Lord. In Christ, we have hope! This is the first part of a 2 week sermon series

Pastor Kent used John 21 as the text to remind us that Jesus is closer than we think. Jesus restores us by entering our world, He wants to know how we feel about Him and He affirms that our calling is still in place – even after we fail Him. Nothing can change how Jesus feels about us.

Without prayer, we will lose the battle against Satan because prayer is the very thing that holds the armor of God together and makes the armor effective. Prayer unleashes God’s power for victory.
