Life Changing Prayer
Sunday, August 15, 2010
Reader: Joanna Black
Speaker: Randy Orban
Do our prayers really change us? When we pray for people, does it really make a difference? In this message, Randy addresses these questions through the sharing of personal testimony, looking at the truth found in God’s word, and by seeing the evidence of change in the lives of others.
Dealing With Unanswered Prayers
Sunday, August 8, 2010
Reader: Randy Orban
Speaker: Wayne Cox
There are sweeping promises in the Bible about God responding to our requests; and yet many of us are holding on to the hurt and disillusionment of unanswered prayer. In this message, Wayne offers eight possible reasons for unanswered prayer, explores the “logic” of unanswered prayer, and draws encouragement from the examples of unanswered prayer in the Bible.
Why Pray?
Sunday, August 1, 2010
Reader: Craig Catlett
Speaker: Wayne Cox
In any discussion of prayer, we must start here: Why Pray? If God is all-knowing, what difference could our prayers really make? If we never really settle on an answer to this question, we run the risk of skimming through life, never going deep in our faith-journey. We may just give up on prayer. We may pray – but it’s likely to be out of some sense of obligation or fulfilling expectations – but it won’t be from a pure heart if we don’t wrestle with this question.
The “Headline” of Jesus’ Prayer

What Does It Mean to “Live for God”?
Sunday, June 13, 2010
Reader: Joan Clagett
Speaker: Wayne Cox
“There is something which makes Christianity more than a religion, more than an ethic, and more than the idle dream of sentimental idealist. It is this something which makes it relevant to each one of us right now as a contemporary experience. It is the fact that Christ Himself is the very life content of the Christian faith. It is he who makes it ‘tick.’”
This quote from Major Ian Thomas is the starting point for this message on Galatians 2:15-21. Wayne explores the truth of Jesus Christ living in and through the believer.
Jesus and the Widow of Nain
Sunday, June 6, 2010
Reader: James Foster
Speaker: Wayne Cox
Who is the miracle in Luke 7:11-17 for? A strange question, perhaps, given that a man who was dead is alive again. And yet, the way Luke tells the story, it seems Jesus’ compassion is focused on the widowed mother. This is a fascinating episode that reveals a lot about how, when, and where God’s glory shows up!
A Closer Look at the Ascension of Jesus Christ

Speaker: Wayne Cox
What does it mean that a first century Jewish carpenter sits at the right hand of God? This is a question loaded with potential riches if we’ll take time to really consider the ascension of Jesus Christ!
