1 Samuel 1:1–20

In this message we look at the sweet and anguishing prayer of Hannah, a prayer that stands out for its honesty and earnestness. We finish by seeing how God heard and “remembers” Hannah and how her prayer, humanly speaking, changed the course of history for God’s people.

Exodus 32:1–14

In this message in our series, Honest to God, we look at Moses' prayer of intercession for an idolatrous Israel. In it we will see the danger of impatience, how gifts become idols, the test of an angry God and the intercession of a mediator. An intercession that is to point us to Jesus and serve as an example in how to pray.

2 Corinthians 12:1–10

What are you praying for right now, asking the Lord to take from you? I don't know if He will answer your specific prayer but He will answer; His answer may be unexpected but His grace will be sufficient.

Luke 11:5–13

How we approach God is just as important as what we ask for. Do you approach God as your friend or? Also, in our text, Jesus is making a contrast to show us that God who is our Father is noting like the man in the text, and if the guy would get up and five his friend bread, how much more will your heavenly Father hear and give us what we plead for, no matter what time of the day or night you call. As Jesus taught us the way to pray, we should pray for these things as if He could not refuse us… Although He might and He has that prerogative.
