Our Sunday Evening Message for December 4, 2024

​

                                   "Praying For Wisdom" 

                                            Text: Luke 6:12-19

                                                                                                 

​Our Wednesday evening messages are focused on Bible teaching. My goal is to explain the text by comparing scripture with scripture. The method of my teaching is expository in nature with the attempt to explain each verse according to the context. I am a slave to the text. Wherever the text leads me that will be my focus. It is my goal that my congregation in our Wednesday evening service walk away understanding the Word of God as the Holy Spirit directs me as their pastor.

​

In this study, I walk you through the various prayers found in the Bible. There are actually 100 of these prayers beginning with the prayer of Abraham from the Book of Genesis to the prayer of the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation. We have been in this study since March of 2022.

​

In our study, we examine the prayer of our Lord as He prays to the Father in the selection of the 12 apostles.Our text tells us that Christ prayed all night, then the next morning He chose these 12 men to be His apostles. There was no hesitation. The Father had given him the peace and clarity which men God had chosen. This is true today in our lives. We should not make any decision on a matter until we have peace in our hearts that this is God's will. The only way to find that peace is my finding solitude in our busy schedules to take time to pray.

 

I encourage you to listen to this message in it's entirety as I try to walk you through the meaning of this text. May this message encourage you as it did those who attended our morning service.
