In the continuing section on yielding to God through prayer, Pastor John Carnes examines the practices of confession, repentance and forgiveness and how it frees our relationship with God and with each other.

Continuing in the theme of yielding to God, Pastor John Carnes discusses the importance of learning to listen to God and the ways that He speaks to us in and through our lives, as we pray and converse with Him.

In this session of How to Pray, Pastor John Carnes explores the practice of contemplative prayer, what it is and how it can help us deepen our prayer experience with Jesus.

In this message, we tackle the uncomfortable subject of unanswered prayers and how we handle them and what our response should be to them.  Using Jesus' own unanswered prayer in the Garden, we explore how to continue to hold onto our faith even when the answer is no.

In this next session, we focus on asking God for others and what it means to intercede for others and how to pray with the promises of God for them.  

In the third installment of the series, we begin looking at asking God for things.  This week specifically we discuss petitioning God for our needs and if its okay for us to do so, and how we can build and use our faith to trust him for the answers we need.

In this message, we discuss the importance of taking time for silence and reflection as well as rejoicing in praise for who God is to us.  These are very essential forms of prayer.

This starts a new series based on Pete Greig's book, How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People.  This message looks at the importance of prayer and how to keep it real, keep it simple and keep it up.

In the conclusion of this series, we explore how Boaz is a type, a picture, of Christ our Kinsman Redeemer and how Jesus is working even still to redeem the stories of our lives. 

The third installment of this series on the Book of Ruth examines Ruth's boldness and faith as she approaches Boaz and challenges us to live in waiting expectation for God's promises and covering in our lives.
