JIMMY CARTER’S FIRST ELECTION WAS STOLEN DUE TO VOTER FRAUD

Hans is a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, and former counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice. He is a member of the board of the Public Interest Legal Foundation.

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Why is Mark hesitant to teach on Romans 9-11? He reminds us that these chapters are known as some of the hardest passages in the Bible. Plus, he is a Bible nerd (big shocker – I know!) and wants to make sure he shares correct and accurate information with us.

What is the purpose of a will? Why are they important? Do lawyers and judges actually look at the will? Trust me – this is important!

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

HOW IS YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE? WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRAYER LIFE? HOW AND WHY DOES OUR PRAYER LIFE EFFECT OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE?

Pastor Jarrett Stephens began a new sermon series last week entitled: Pray Like Jesus. In this series, everyone can learn something new about the prayer life of Jesus: his pattern of daily dependence, his prayers for others, his surrender in suffering, and his unwavering trust in the Father.

This week, Pastor Jarrett preaches about The Lord’s Prayer in a brand-new light. NOTE: Pastor Jarrett is taking two weeks to dissect The Lord’s Prayer, so make sure you tune in each day next week for more!

Scripture Passages: Galatians 4:4-7; Matthew 6:5-15; Luke 11:1-4

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

How do you pray? What do you pray for? Does your mind wander when you pray? Is there something more you can be doing when you pray? Book Reference: “Transforming Prayer” by Daniel Henderson.

What is the “disciples’ prayer” – the “model prayer”? Pastor Jarrett reminds us: “For Jesus, prayer wasn’t a box to check. It was a life to share.”

Why did Jesus tell the disciples (and us!) to pray in private?

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Father God,

Impress on our spirit the significance of choosing the right leaders, for we live in a land and in a time where righteous leaders are so important. Grant us spiritual discernment, more so than just picking between the lessor of two evils.

May our leaders align with you, Lord, ideologically and spiritually. We lift them up to you and pray for your guidance over them.

Send your Holy Spirit to rekindle a new revival across our land.

Empower each saint to assault the gates of hell and to save more lost souls.

Guide and direct all we say and do.

Now, let’s be going and doing and working for the Kingdom.

Praying in and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
