We long for and recognize it when we have it, and know immediately when we’ve lost it. The biblical story of Christmas helps us to define it and how to keep it as we navigate life.

Every year a cultural war begins, one which centres on the meaning of Christmas. Opinions abound; is it a season of giving, of being with loved ones, or is there something more? As Christians, we know a part of the story that is often missed, and ultimately the secret to why it remains the greatest story ever told.

This week’s message looks at King Solomon’s dedication of the temple in 2 Chronicles 7:1-10. It examines the response of the Israelites to the presence of God and His dwelling among them.

The Apostle Paul has written some of the most memorable prayers and related quotes in all of Scripture. As we conclude our series, we look at what Paul taught, and the one key he reveals that we all are given when our lives are saturated with prayer.

We have all experienced moments when we have been lost for words and have difficulty expressing ourselves in prayer. But God, being aware of our weaknesses, has given us a way to communicate even when our words fail.

In this message we look at a miraculous deliverance that has both a sobering and humorous lesson. It’s one that helps us to understand that even the early believers struggled with doubt when they prayed.

In the full and final recorded prayer of Jesus we get a glimpse into the heart of the Master.

In this message we look at the best known prayer in the entire Bible. We hear it recited at weddings, at formal gatherings and anywhere a communal prayer is needed. Yet, for all its familiarity, we can forget the reason Jesus taught it in the first place.

This message is a podcast lecture by Jon Korkidakis for an unrecorded sermon preached on October 14, 2012. In this message we look at a topic that does not rank high on most of our radars when it comes to prayer. We often think of prayer as an intimate conversation between God and us, and rarely think of it as an invitation to a battle.

In this message we look at a King who is faced with an Assyrian invasion. His prayer flies in the face of the evidence around him but teaches us about one of the most important principles about prayer.
