I came across this video today and wanted to share it. It seems to come from the Ministry of Education and Science in the Republic of Macedonia. Hope you enjoy.

This is a lovely video for the hymn, My Hope is Built on Nothing Less. You can purchase it for your church at Worship House Media.

Pete Greig of Campus America wrote a great blog post the other day on the Holy Saturday or ... the day before Easter. He entitled it Where is God When Heaven is Silent? and I believe this is the struggle of many Christians. We are living in what seems to the second day world and trying to generate third day faith. I encourage you to read it.

If you are not familiar with Campus America, here is a video clip of their vision statement. Pray blessings on their ministry. Go after it!

So often our lack of prayer comes from our busyness. Watch this short teaching from Doug Fields of Saddleback for encouragement to slow down.

When the fire of prayer goes out, the barrenness of busyness takes over.

Kids Prayers from Granger Community.

These are prayers from real children at Granger Community Church in Granger, Indiana. It is amazing what you find out by just asking kids. There is a lot of pain being carried by our children as they come into church. Will we help them?

Here is a video from North Hills Community Church in Taylors, SC. It was done for a series on prayer about two years ago. I thought it was worthwhile to re-post for a couple different reasons.

1. It gives examples of what others pray about. It has honest, simple, heart-felt requests.
2. It shows how the Bible can lead you into prayer. It is so important to read the Bible to lead you into God's presence. 

I hope you find it encouraging.

Recently we shared about a way to mitigate the distractions in your prayer time. This video is a funny representation of what these distractions may look like. This video was put together by eleven72, a company that creates videos and illustrations for churches.
