The Privilege of Prayer

Last week at Boloco Church we considered the first week of Shirley Andrews' material on "Lord Teach us to Pray". The focus was on the privilege of prayer and that prayer is a conversation with God. As we worked through the verses together we were reminded of the faithfulness of God and His character. There were stories of the impact of God speaking in different people's lives and a reminder that we simply had to "draw near to God and He will draw near to us" (James 4:8). The audio of the message can be heard by clicking on Listen and then going to 2011-11-20.

Lord Teach us to Pray - Owen's Message

Sunday 13 November we had Owen Davies with us as we continued with our series from Shirley Andrews' book "Lord Teach us to Pray". Owen focused on the story of God's amazing feast spread before us but in prayer we can often not enter into the intimacy of what God has provided. Owen focused on what it is that God wants to do in us and also what God wants to do with us.

We all tend to rush around busy with various activities and fail to just be quiet and have a conversation with God. There is clearly opposition to this happening but also in a sense, lack of faith on our part.

Lord Teach Us To Pray

On Sunday 6 November we started a series that will be worked on in all the Snowy Mountains churches, called "Lord Teach us to Pray"by Shirley Andrews. Shirley came to launch the series in Jindabyne on October 30. There are 13 weeks of studies with bible verses and prompts to help us all think about how to improve our prayer lives. Kate gave the first message in this series and her key points were that prayer is a struggle and in fact a spiritual battle - and we have to persist. All of us find prayer difficult and a great quote is that there are no great prayer warriors, just those who don't give up. Kate's message can be heard by clicking on the Listen Tab of the website and the message is labelled 2011-11-06 Lord Teach us to Pray - Week 1.
