Almost four years ago Ray and Marlene Pritchard began to pray, “Lord, do things we’re not used to.” This message tells how God answered that prayer by redirecting their steps in some amazing ways.
What will be the world be like as we approach the Last Days before the coming of Christ? In this message we learn that it will be the best of times and the worst of times. We will see evil unleashed in new ways, and we will see multitudes coming to Christ. Instead of living in fear, Christians should be bold as we wait for the coming of the Lord.
Using the war on terror as a backdrop, this sermon explains how Satan attacks us asymmetrically. He works the angles and uses many small attacks in order to bring us down. Unless we understand Satan’s strategy, we will be defeated over and over again. The good news is that in Jesus Christ, we have everything we need to fight and win our spiritual battles.
In this message, Ray Pritchard talks about the five character qualities that relate to a man and his anger. When our power is not under God’s control, we hurt ourselves and those closest to us. We need God’s help so that we might become like Jesus who was both gentle and strong, a true “gentle man.”
This is the second session of the Word of Life Couples Conference in 2007. In this message Ray and Marlene Pritchard share lessons they have learned from 34 years of marriage and raising three sons. They emphasize that God is a better parent than we are.
We call this the parable of the rich fool. But he wasn’t a fool because he was rich. He was a fool because he forgot he was going to die. This isn’t a parable about the dangers of being rich and successful. This is a parable the dangers of having the wrong kind of heart. And that can happen to any of us.
If I keep a heavenly perspective and believe Romans 8:28, enemies are not really enemies. They are some of the best friends I have. What is sometimes meant by some to hurt me actually helps bring about a work of grace in me that wouldn’t take place any other way. My enemies are a gift from God to me. They make me like Christ so that I can show Christ to them.
