Prayer of Agur, Proverbs 30:7-9 . . . "Two things I ask of you"

The latest sermon from UCM.

From Proverbs 30:7-9--the only prayer recorded in the Book of Proverbs--a closer look at a very appropriate prayer in light of today's economic "new normal." May it add a boost to your prayer life as you commune with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The message was preached to the striving "uncommon" Christians at Grace Church in my native West Hartford, Connecticut. See "Sermons - By Speaker" (Dr. Francis Kyle), August 26, 2012. A gem of a church in the midst of spiritually hardened New England.

--> FYI: Grace Church's pastor, Dr. Ted Bigelow, authored a fine book, one that should be read by every church member and elder: The Titus Mandate: Rescue, Protect, Restore (2011). 

Proverbs 30:7-9.
Old Testament (Tanakh).

10th anniversary of 9/11 . . . Sermon: "Comfort for God's People in Our Uncertain Post-9/11 World" . . . Matthew 7:7-8

"Comfort for God's People in Our Uncertain Post-9/11 World" was the title of my sermon preached on the 10th anniversay of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.

The sermon was based on the New Testament verses of Matthew 7:7-8.

The familiar words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ--and that speak of persisent prayer--appear towards the end of his famous Sermon on the Mount:

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Grace Church (est. 2005) is pastored by Dr. Ted Bigelow, author of the recently released (January 2011) The Titus Mandate: Rescue, Protect, Reform (Paul's Plan That Rescues Christians From Dangerous Churches).

NOTE:
Just weeks after 9/11 took place, I preached a message from the Old Testament passage of Isaiah 55:1-13. The October 2001 sermon occured at Joyce Bible Church in Joyce, Washington.
