If you've ever wanted to learn how to pray better or I would have loved to be able to spend time, let's say, with the Apostle Paul, how does he pray? What is it like to pray? You read Ephesians. You'll feel like you've been with Paul while in prayer.

Luke chapter one, beginning in verse 26.
The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. But God isn't holding back his plans and purposes until we decide to believe.

Mark 16:12
Important facts are often backed up with confirmation. Reporters should try to secure multiple sources for testimony is often confirmed with multiple witnesses. Well, today, Pastor Ray points out our forgiveness of sin was paid for by Jesus crucifixion, and it was confirmed when Jesus rose again.
Mark Chapter 16
Jesus lived the life of a pauper. We read of no real earthly possessions. He didn't live paycheck to paycheck. He lived meal to meal. And yet, after his death, his body was laid in a rich man's tomb. What's the significance of that and why that gesture of generosity? Well, we'll find out today.
Mark 15:42-47
We all know that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross, but that sacrifice was surrounded by circumstances and symbolism that yield great insights into God's plan and the Lord's care for you and me.

Mark 15:33
Is Jesus some ivory towers savior who rules from on high but doesn't know the plight of the common man? No. He came to Earth as a common man and experienced real pain like we do. Even to the point of being brutally beaten and crucified today. What encouragement and reassurance that offers.
Mark 15:21
We refer to Jesus as Lord. It's as if it's a second name or a term of endearment. Actually, if Jesus is Lord, He's in charge. Calling Jesus, Lord means we acquiesce. We yield to His leadership and direction. And today, Pastor Ray points out Jesus invited that devotion.
Mark 15:21-32
