This message is entitled “Hindrances to Prayer”. Pastor Cam once again compares the believer’s prayer life to a garden, but this time we explore the hindrances to an effective prayer life, using a selection of different Scriptures.

It is commonly referred to as the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15). But it would be more accurate to call it the Disciples’ Prayer as Jesus taught his disciples the key elements of prayer with the words Pray Like This. What is the purpose of this prayer and how should we make use of it? In this message, Pastor Cam suggests using it as a recipe for prayer.

In this message on prayer (entitled In Jesus’ Name) we move to the New Testament and consider four conditions we must fulfill if we want to have a fruitful prayer life.

Problem + Response = Result. That is the formula we looked at last week. And when our response to a problem includes prayer, God acts. In this message (Lord, I Have a Problem), we look at another one of God’s servants who had a big problem. His name is Hezekiah and his story is told in 2 Kings 18-19. How did he respond? What was the result? And what lessons can we learn from him?

How do you respond to problems? Is prayer your first response? Second response? Or? In this message, we continue to explore the subject of prayer. In this message (“Then I Prayed to the God of Heaven”) taken from Nehemiah 1, we explore a great model for prayer and a simple four point outline as we pray, both for personal needs and for kingdom challenges.

Jesus often used stories to teach us important lessons. In this message, Pastor Cam looks at three stories Jesus used to teach his disciples to pray (Luke 11:5-13, 18:1-8). They are somewhat strange stories with odd characters: a reluctant friend, a sinful father and an unjust judge. Find out what these odd characters have to teach us about God and about prayer.

To encourage believers to live in a way that glorifies God in all we do and say, and which allows the light of Jesus to shine in a dark world. To remind everyone that Jesus is the Word of God, and the Word of God is what should saturate the life of a believer. We should continuously grow in our maturity of living according to the Word of God, we should bear good fruit by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word in us, and we should provide the opportunity for people to have an encounter with Jesus when they are in our presence.

In this message we look at why Jesus was transformed, how it would have impacted Peter, James, and John, and what it means for us today.
