How Is Spiritual Fruit Produced in Christians? – John 15:1-6

How is spiritual fruit produced in the life of a Christian? What about plants? Have you ever seen a branch or leaf that can survive without the stalk of the plant? No. That’s not the way it works is it?

Have you ever seen a child that after birth cares for himself and feeds himself and clothes himself? Never — that’s not the way it works is it?

Why Is It Important That Christians Love One Another? – 1 John 4:11

We’ve started out the year with eight days of prayer because prayer is a life blood of the church. We began the year with this emphasis on prayer because we will not be a church that grows spiritually, we will not be effective for the Lord Jesus Christ, we will not please God, if we aren’t serious about prayer.

Last week as we began the new year I gave you 3 reasons, as God’s children, we are to pray. First, we are commanded to pray. Second, Jesus prayed, and if Jesus needed to pray so do we. Third, the early church learned quickly that they needed to pray and they made it their continual practice to pray as God’s people.

North Country Notes – January 6, 2012

It’s Friday as I write and it’s been a beautiful and warm day here in northern Michigan. Rare, spring-like warmth for January. I had to remind myself it was winter.

We’re almost at the end of our eight days of prayer at Higgins Lake Baptist Church. We had almost thirteen and a half hours of daily prayer commitments. I’m so encouraged by that. Thank you for your prayer commitments. I’ve heard from some of you who’ve said you found you prayed much longer each day than you had planned. That’s great! So how has your prayer time been this week? I’d love to hear about your experience during this special week of prayer so send me an Email. [Read more...]

We’re beginning today, as we start the new year, our 8 days of prayer as a church. But why the emphasis on 8 days of prayer?

And maybe the better question is:

Why Pray as God’s People? Isn’t God in control? Doesn’t God already know all about our needs? So why pray?
