When given a chance to ask for ANYTHING he wanted from God, King Solomon chose wisdom (literally "a listening heart"). God blessed him abundantly, in addition to granting his request. But in the years that followed, Solomon lost sight of what was most important. In this episode of PRAYING WITH GIANTS, we follow this intriguing prayer conversation between Solomon & God.

Moses was always the "man in the middle" - especially in the middle between God and God's people, the Hebrews. They drove both him & God crazy at times. But Moses also made sure that God never forgot his promise to them all. What can we learn from Moses' intercessory prayer in Exodus 33? Give a listen!

Abraham was God's first "friend." In this seminal passage, Abraham "bargains" God down from his plan to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah, to have an option for grace and mercy. Join us as we begin a new series looking at important prayers from important PRAY-ers.

As we finish our series on "CHRISTIANITY'S FAMILY TREE: What Other Christians Believe, and Why?" we examine our own denomination: Methodism. How did Methodists get their start? What makes us unique? How do we hear God's voice in our lives? And what might this entire series be calling us to think about our fellow brothers and sisters in faith from other denominations? Ephesians 2:1-10 is our text this week.

Raising hands in worship, speaking in tongues, faith-healing... how does that fit into modern-day Christianity? It comes from the Pentecostal branch of the family tree, and we examine the origin and influence in this week's sermon. Part 7 of 8 in our ongoing CHRISTIANITY'S FAMILY TREE: What Other Christians Believe and Why? Acts 2:1-13 is our text.

Next to Roman Catholics, Baptists form the largest Christian denomination family in the world. Just who are these brothers and sisters in Christ, and how'd they come about? Join us for the 6th installment in CHRISTIANITY'S FAMILY TREE (Matthew 3:1-12 is our base scripture for the day).

For us United Methodists, our closest kin denomination are those within the Anglican communion - like the Church of England and the Episcopal churches. Here's the story of how they developed over the course of Christendom.

The Protestant Reformation began with Martin Luther. But men like John Calvin and John Knox took it even farther, as they helped establish the Reformed & Presbyterian traditions. This week in CHRISTIANITY'S FAMILY TREE, we see how the Protestant churches began to split among themselves, in our ongoing history of the Church. Romans 8:26-30 is our text.
