Sunday, November 21, 2021 – The title of today’s message is “Ask, Seek & Knock”. Do you ever wonder if God hears and answers all your prayers? This can be a very delicate situation in how this is approached. First, no man can speak for God, all we can do is read His Word and take that as truth. God’s Word gives us an assurance that God does hear all prayers and His answers come according to His Will. What does that mean? God is wanting our “relationship with Him” to be such that He can share His will with us, and that we will see it, and agree with it, even if we don’t always understand it. That sounds a little confusing maybe, but it keeps God as sovereign yet loving and always in control, even in the hard times of our life. Hope that makes sense…. Listen in, enjoy worship and the word as we share it together.

This is the audio podcast from Wednesday October 13th's Take Two with Sam Scotti and Rande Vick. Sam and Rande discussed Sam's talk on Sunday on The Politics of Jesus: Posture in Prayer

This morning Sam continued in our series The Politics of Jesus taking us through Matthew chapter 6 verses 5-8. This is the audio podcast.

"We must approach God believing that God will say yes to our prayers when it is best for us." Jesus' longest recorded sermon, and most influential, is traditionally called The Sermon the Mount. The sermon is full of famous proclamations, phrases that are often memorized or hung on walls. But why are these words important 2,000 years later? This series of sermons is about The Sermon on the Mount and why it still matters. Impacted? Let us know: https://Creekside.Me/Respond Miss a sermon in this series?

Once Jesus brings us to a place where we realize how helpless we are to accomplish perfection He gives us the comfort of being able to come before God and ask of him great and holy things.

What do we do when we feel we're not getting the answers to what we're looking for?

“Love freely; our Father will provide.”

“Love freely; our Father will provide.”

God always answers our deepest desires, but not necessarily our strongest ones.

A study through Matthew.

When Jesus said "Ask and you will receive" what did he mean?

God is the only thing we need to ask for.

God is the only thing we need to ask for.

Jesus promises answers to prayer. This good promise remains true to all who ask, seek, and knock - even to the reluctant, the disappointed, and the skeptical.
