At CMC, our mission is to saturate the world by making disciples. We achieve this by helping people belong to the family of God, become mature disciples of Christ, and build the Kingdom of God together. That's why our values matter: Biblical Teaching, Intentional Community, Persistent Prayer, Surrendered Obedience, and Grateful Generosity. They drive our behaviors and form the framework of how we want to be known. And intentional community is the glue that holds it all together. Looking to the early church in Acts, we see that intentional community is authentic, consistent, generous, and missional. Our prayer is that our intentional community would be a reflection of who He is and what He has done. Listen to this sermon about why we value intentional community in our Who We Are series. Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/tHHj-esoJdISubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

[Luke 18:1-7] One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. [2] “There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. [3] A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.' [4] The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don't fear God or care about people, [5] but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!'” [6] Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. [7] Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith? God wants to give us what we ________ ________. [Matthew 7:7-8] Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. God uses persistent prayer as a vehicle for ________________. [James 5:16b] The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Allow God to align our _________ with His _________. [Matthew 6:33] Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. [James 4:3] And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. [Psalm 46:10] Be still, and know that I am God! To prepare us for His ____________. [Psalm 51:10] Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. A premature answer might cause us to glory in the ________ and not the ____________ ___________. To ___________ our lives and character. [Philippians 1:6] And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. To be used of God in ___________ warfare. [Ephesians 6:12] For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. [Ephesians 6:18] Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere To bless us with a more intimate ____________________ with God.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 26th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Luke 18:1: “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,…” Then we go to Matthew 7:7 and this is what it says: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Do not lose heart, never give up. If there is one thing that farming has taught me, it is to not give up, but to be persistent. Sometimes the best crops that I have ever planted started off almost as a disaster. No rain, and then the rain came and the crops grew and I ended up with a bumper crop but that was through persistence in prayer. Don't lose heart. The mother of President Donald Trump was Mary Anne MacLeod. Yes, she was a Scottish lass. She came from the Isle of Lewis on the Hebrides. They tell me that her relatives, two older ladies, were prayer warriors. They prayed for revival to come to the Hebrides. One was blind, the other one was bent in two with arthritis, and they prayed and prayed and prayed and what happened? Yes, revival came to the Hebrides. But I wander too if their prayers didn't influence Mary Anne MacLeod when she immigrated and went to America and eventually she became the mother of the current President of the United States, President Donald Trump! The prayers of two old ladies! That was long before Donald Trump was ever born. I want to say to you that we need to pray persistently for that prodigal son, prodigal daughter, for that business, for that future, and not to give up because Jesus tells us the story that a reason that the judge (if you read on from the Scripture I gave you) listened to that widow, wasn't even because she was a Christian. It was because she persevered and did not give up.Today, keep praying and let Jesus do the rest.God bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

In this sermon, Pastor Devin discusses the essential practice of prayer in the Christian life. He explores Luke 11:1-13, where Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray. The pastor emphasizes that prayer is not merely a routine or habit but a vital means of communion with God that requires the right heart posture. He outlines three key aspects of prayer: the pattern of prayer (adoration, submission/dependence, confession/forgiveness, and supplication), the persistence of prayer (approaching God with shameless boldness), and the promise of prayer (continuing to ask, seek, and knock). Pastor Devin vulnerably shares his own struggle with unanswered prayer regarding having a child, while affirming God's sovereignty. He introduces the concept of contemplative prayer—maintaining constant communion with God throughout daily activities—and encourages believers to pray both individually and in community with other Christians.Prayer is not just a routine but an essential practice that keeps us in community with God, requiring the right heart posture.Jesus taught a pattern for prayer: adoration, submission/dependence, confession/forgiveness, and supplication—a process that aligns our hearts with God's.We should approach God with persistent, shameless boldness in prayer, knowing He is more willing to respond than even a reluctant friend.Contemplative prayer allows us to maintain constant communion with God throughout our daily activities, not just during designated prayer times.When prayers seem unanswered, we must remember God's sovereignty and continue asking, seeking, and knocking while supporting one another in community.Support the show

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Luke 11:5-13; Matthew 6:5-13; Matthew 18:10-20; Isaiah 55:8: Romans 12:1Sermon OutlineJesus first taught the disciples how to pray and then illustrated the need for persistence in prayer. In this parable, Jesus indicates that God can be trusted to respond to our prayers. The key point and question we must answer is: Do we believe that God can be trusted with our prayers? The man in the parable persisted (Greek word meaning shameless persistence) in asking his neighbor for bread for his visitor. Because of his persistence, his neighbor gave him the bread. Likewise, Jesus illustrates that God will respond to our persistent ongoing prayers.Three questions to consider:Why pray?Jesus tells us to prayThere is power in prayerPrayer fosters a deeper connection with GodWhy is persistence in prayer important?Our persistence doesn't change God; it changes us and aligns our hearts with God's heartPrayer is continual: ask, seek, knockPrayer exercises our faith muscleHow does God respond?Earthly fathers will not purposely give their sons bad giftsHeavenly Father gives His best giftsHeavenly Father does not hold out on youKey pointIn order to pray persistently and not give up we must know the character of God; that He is good, faithful and trustworthy.Key concernGod does not always answer the prayers in the way that we would like, but He always has a “higher yes” ordered and governed by His Sovereignty and ability to see the big picture of our lives.Sermon QuestionsDo you think that God always responds to your prayers out of His character of goodness, faithfulness? Why or why not?Is your prayer life persistent and full of trust believing God cares and hears you? Why or why not?Do you pray until you get a breakthrough even if it isn't the answer you were hoping for?How have you seen prayer transform you?What do you need to do to grow in your trust that God is for you and not against you?

Fr Rob Galea says persistent prayer doesn't change God; it changes us — it forms our hearts, deepens our trust, and shapes our holiness. True holiness is often born not from receiving what we ask for, but from trusting God in the silence and continuing in faithful prayer despite the lack of visible results

As Jesus is walking with His disciples, they ask Him an important lesson, "Lord, teach us to pray." With an example prayer and a parable, Jesus teaches us a fundamental aspect of Christian life. We pray because Jesus prayed, because He made it a primacy, priority, and promise for us - not to do when we feel like it or at our most desperate times only - but in a committed and persistent pattern for our daily lives. And the beautiful thing is that every prayer, every knock, every ask is heard and aligns us to our Father in Heaven for our good and His glory.

Message Us!Prayer is not just a religious ritual but a transformative force that can break chains, open prison doors, and change seemingly impossible situations. This message dives deep into the power of intercessory prayer—the practice of fervently taking others' needs before God—as dramatically illustrated in Acts 12.When Herod Agrippa I executed James and imprisoned Peter, the situation seemed hopeless. Peter was bound in chains between guards with execution looming. But verse 5 contains the pivotal turning point: "earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church." What followed was nothing short of miraculous—an angel appeared, chains fell off, and prison doors opened by themselves.From this remarkable account, we discover five qualities of effective intercessory prayer that can revolutionize our approach to bringing others' needs before God. Effective prayer is earnest (passionate and fervent), specific (clear about what's being requested), corporate (unified with other believers), continual (persistent until breakthrough comes), and perhaps most encouragingly, imperfect (God honors our hearts even when our faith wavers).The message tackles challenging questions about prayer's relationship to God's sovereignty. Why was Peter rescued while James was executed? If God is sovereign, why pray at all? Through exploring these questions, we gain deeper insight into how prayer doesn't change God's mind but rather activates His power as He has designed prayer to be one of the means through which He accomplishes His purposes.Whether you're new to prayer or have been praying for decades, this message will reignite your passion for intercession by revealing how your earnest prayers for others can bring about supernatural intervention. Join us Wednesday nights at 7pm as we put these principles into practice together and watch God move in power.Support the show

It's hard to keep praying when answers feel delayed and justice seems far off. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable about a persistent widow and an unjust judge—one that challenges our assumptions about God's character. Dr. John walks us through this story, showing how it's not a comparison, but a contrast meant to reveal the mercy and justice of God. This message encourages us to pray boldly, trust deeply, and never lose heart.The King Arrives: Throughout North American history, there have been two main reactions to monarchy: rebellion or apathy. Some believe the Crown should be rejected, while others see it as largely irrelevant. In short, we wrestle with the idea of kingship. But for followers of Christ, acknowledging Jesus as King is not optional—it's foundational. In this series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Luke 17–20, showing that the Kingship of Jesus is not only central to the Christian faith, but vital for the world.

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony dive into Colossians 4:2–6, unpacking its rich themes of persistent prayer, evangelism, and the importance of gracious communication. They explore Paul's exhortation to the Colossian church, focusing on how prayer, wisdom, and speech are integral to a Christian's life and witness. The conversation emphasizes that prayer is not merely an action but a defining characteristic of the Christian life, reflecting the believer's intimacy with God and reliance on His grace. The hosts examine Paul's request for prayers that his proclamation of the gospel might be clear and effective, noting that clarity is essential in ensuring the message of Christ is understood fully by its hearers. They also discuss the relationship between wise conduct, gracious speech, and the ability to answer others with the truth of the gospel. The importance of integrating faith into everyday interactions is highlighted, particularly when engaging with non-believers in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom. The episode also delves into how Christians can faithfully live out their faith in a world of challenges, particularly on platforms like social media, where speech often lacks grace and wisdom. Jesse and Tony remind listeners of the high calling to let their words always be seasoned with salt, ensuring that every interaction serves as an opportunity to glorify God and share the gospel. Key Points: Persistent Prayer as a Lifeline: Christians are called to devote themselves to prayer, not just as an occasional act but as a continuous lifestyle that reflects intimacy with God. Clarity in Gospel Proclamation: Paul's request for prayer highlights the importance of presenting the gospel clearly and cogently, ensuring its full understanding by hearers. Gracious Speech and Wise Conduct: Walking in wisdom and letting speech be gracious and seasoned with salt are essential for effective evangelism and maintaining a Christian witness. Faith in Everyday Interactions: Integrating faith into daily life involves speaking and acting in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom, especially in challenging environments like social media. Questions for Reflection: How does your prayer life reflect your relationship with God, and in what ways can it become more consistent and intentional? In what areas of your life can you work to make your speech more gracious and seasoned with salt? How can you integrate faith into your daily interactions with non-believers in a way that reflects Christ's love and wisdom? Are there specific people or ministries you can commit to praying for, as Paul asks the Colossians to pray for him?
