"How to Pray Like a Righteous Man" (PrayerThatWorks SERIES - Week1)

This week we kick off a new series as Pastor Kamron shares 6 attributes of "Righteous Prayer". We are about to start off a new year. 2016 is quickly approaching. Let's start right with prayer being a major focus of the New Year.

Today's message really revolves around Elijah and the way he prayed to the Lord after a drought of over 3 years. Not only did  God bring the rain... but He showed the people that He was TRULY the God they needed to be worshiping. 

If you need some pointers in your prayer life, listen to today's message and begin your journey of praying big giant prayers that you expect God to answer. He will. You can. It's time.

"Lord, please BLESS my mess!"

Have you ever wondered what it was REALLY like when Jesus came into this world? We setup our Nativities every year around Christmas time and it’s always very orderly and clean and peaceful. There is Mary and Joseph looking in adoration at little sleeping baby Jesus in the manger. There are shepherds and wise men flanking both sides doing the same. Even the animals are on the scene, quietly watching baby Jesus sleep.

But what REALLY happened? Because life is MESSY and just because Jesus is perfect doesn’t mean the nativity in reality was a “Precious Moment’s” scene. My guess… baby Jesus was crying and Mary was exhausted. The wise men weren’t there and the animals, IF they were there… didn’t all stand facing baby Jesus in silence. It was messy. It was not ideal. The “feeding trough/manger” wasn’t Mary’s first choice for a bed.

But… despite the mess, Jesus was born and God blessed US all in this. It was a glorious, wonderful birth of our Savior. Albeit a messier version than what we put on display. And that’s OK. Because God works in our mess. God wants to use YOU in your messy life too. Will you let Him?

"Prisoner of My Own Comfort"

Do you realize how phenomenally blessed we are as American’s? In comparison to the entire population of planet earth… we are filthy rich when it comes to our standards of living. Today… 2015… 1/3 of the world makes less than $2/day in wages. I don’t know about you… but I can spend more than that on coffee in one day! (And think it’s a good deal!)

We are a people of comfort.

This week, Pastor Kamron points out that comfort can easily become a prison if we think we are guaranteed it. If we think that comfort is our inheritance from God while still here on earth… we are in trouble. You can’t read the Bible and find a promise of a comfortable lifestyle. (In fact, you will find just the opposite.) Maybe this doesn’t sound like a message you want to hear… but if you love Jesus and want to be obedient to Him, this expectation of comfort needs to be dealt with.

"ALWAYS? thankful"

Yes, this week we will celebrate Thanksgiving. A special day we set aside every year to be... wait for it... thankful. :-) But as usual... God expects MORE from those of us who consider Jesus to be our Lord and Savior!

More. More thankfulness. 

In fact, today's main passage from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says we are to be thankful in ALL circumstances. Listen to today's message as Pastor Kamron shares how a day of hunting last week shows how much work HE has to do. And we all are probably in the same place of needing to be MORE thankful!

Strong-Willed... Blessing or Curse?

Listen to this Sunday's message as Pastor Shanon shares a message about being STRONG willed. The crazy thing about this characteristic is it can be an amazing blessing... or a crazy curse! The reality of this message is... it's up to you. Are you going to fight AGAINST God... or FOR Him?

"Work It!"

Do you ever FAIL in life? If we are being honest we all must answer, "yes". It's part of life. Especially when your talking about our walk with Jesus... we fail. 

"But it's what we DO with that failure that will define our lives... not the failure itself, but the RESPONSE to that failure."

Listen to today's message as Pastor Kamron shares the answer to failure, repentance. He shares the reality that we are ALL "working out" our salvation according to today's Bible verse. And the biggest failure in our lives is not failing, it's QUITTING when we fail. Don't quit. Go to Jesus. He's waiting to forgive you right now.
