This week we continue our series on Prayer and see how we can ask God for His help from Colossians 1:3-14.

Why would King David pay someone to be a full-time thanker? Is thanksgiving really so important? This week we continue our series on Prayer and see from 1 Chronicles 16 that it is a vital part of our prayer life that we join in all creation in giving thanks to God for all He’s done as our saviour and creator.

When we’re feeling burdened and guilty, confession can be a huge relief. Especially if we confess to someone who we know will forgive us. As we continue our series on Prayer, we see from Daniel 9:1-23 how because our God is merciful and faithful we should confess our sins to Him freely and confidently, resting in his full and free forgiveness in Jesus.

Sometimes, it’s hard to pray on our own. We need help. Thankfully, God Himself helps us. This week we see from Romans 8:12-39 that we can pray with confidence because God Himself enables us, answers us and prays for us.

What is prayer? Sometimes prayer feels complicated and hard. But it doesn’t need to. This week we see from Matthew 6:5-15 in the first of our series on Prayer how Prayer is simply talking to God as our good and loving Father in heaven. That frees us up to pray simply, boldly and with confidence that God is good.

When should love include a warning? This week we see from 2 Corinthians 12:14-13:14 that true Christian love reflects the love of our saviour King by seeking to build others up, even when it’s costly. This kind of love will spend itself for one another, warn each other with power, call for examination and strive for joyful peace.

Why would you boast about your weaknesses? This week we see from 2 Corinthians 11:1-12:13 that because of Jesus we can boast in our weaknesses and suffering because it is in them that we experience God’s power and grace.
