Prayer is a vital part of our walk with Christ. It is the foundational communion we have with Him each and every day. In our prayer time, we take time to thank and praise our Father, inquire about what's on our heart and we bring to Him our requests. And of course, when we pray about a request, we want Him to answer it. But what about when we have unanswered prayers? Does that mean He isn't hearing us? No. But it does mean we can look to scripture for how to handle the times when we are waiting upon an answer to our prayers.

Money. It is certainly a part of our life but people do not always want to talk about it. It seems to make people uncomfortable or may even feel like a taboo subject in our culture. However, Jesus wasn't afraid to talk about money. In fact, about one-third of His parables have to do with money. So what exactly does Jesus tell us about our money? How are we to spend? How are we to share it? This week, as we read through "The Parable of the Dishonest Manager", we learn how we are to view the money that God has given us and how to invest wisely with a Kingdom mindset. We should not be afraid to talk about the subject of money because it was an important topic in the Bible and God's Word teaches us how to "Go and Do Likewise" in the area of serving Him with what He has given us.

The Prodigal Son is one of our favorite stories, reminding of God's unconditional love for lost people no matter what their past holds. However, that's not the complete message of the parable. Jesus has much more to say especially to those who were considered the religious elite of the time. The story of the prodigal son has much to say to about our attitudes towards each other and about ourselves. Listen to this week's sermon to learn how we can "Go and Do Likewise" as we spend time with others.

Sometimes we may see one person spending time with another and we wonder how it happened. How did they come together? They don't seem to have anything in common. It appears they have come from two different worlds. But yet, they have come together in friendship. What brings a relationship like this together? And it begs the question, how did Jesus decide who He would spend time with?

It's natural for us to know where we rank in life. How do we measure up in our job or in our class? Often, we are keeping score in our own heads. But what happens when we worry too much about our position in this life? How can this affect our perspective?

As Christians, we may have questions that arise when it comes to our possessions or material things. How much is too much? Is this extravagant? Is a Christian even allowed to own this or that? Our flesh often desires a hard line to be drawn with these thoughts. However, there is more to be considered. Jesus takes into account more than what we see on the outside.

Listen to this week's sermon to learn about the importance of doing right when it comes to our neighbor and how the parable Jesus teaches through should change the way we interact with those around us.

At particular seasons in our lives, we may feel that we are ready to move on or move up. We think we are ready for that promotion or that varsity team only be told by another that it is our time to wait. This isn't a new feeling. Even Jesus' disciples were "sitting on ready" to do His work when He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit. So why are we sometimes asked to wait? When and how are we to carry out the work He has for us?

It is no secret that we live in a social media world. And within that world, people are bold to share many thoughts and opinions. In addition, many believers are bold to share the truth of the gospel which is wonderful! However, sometimes as believers we are bold to share online but not when we are going through life with those around us. What happens to our boldness? And how can we grow in sharing with others?
