From The Heart
From the Heart
I Timothy 2:1 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplication, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men,”
Paul, as he wrote to Timothy, mentions the importance of prayer. It was very important to Jesus, and we read numerous times of Jesus in prayer with His father. We have made prayer at priority on Wednesday night for the last couple of years, and God has blessed us in so many different ways.
In the month of November and December, we are going to be making a study of prayer on Sunday night. There are six areas that we will be looking at:
Confession – responding to God’s holiness
Praise – responding to God’s attributes
Worship – responding to God’s glory
Thanksgiving – responding to God’s riches
Petition – asking that is led by the our Father
Intercession – asking that is led by our Master.
Prayer is the means by which we communicate to our Father, who is in heaven. We all need to deepen our relationship with Him, and this study will help each one of us.
In this season of Thanksgiving, I pray that each of you have a blessed time with family and friends.

1) What’s Happening To Me?
2) The Road To Healing / Finding Help
