Video Resources on Prayer

By Dan Hamil, NAB Executive Director

As we start off 2019 focusing on prayer, here are a few videos that range from a three-minute primer to a half-hour sermon. Our hope is they might serve to assist you with deepening your understanding of prayer, strengthening your prayer life, and challenging your misconceptions about prayer.

Dr. Oliver Crisp, a systematic theologian affiliated with Fuller Seminary, speaks about the difference between prayer as petition and prayer as presence.

Church Planter of the Week

Mark Zubert, Create Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Create Church describes itself as neighbors from every walk of life simply following Jesus in an informal, non-religious, relationship-first, compassionate community. In addition to their low-key weekly gatherings on Saturday nights, there are various gatherings throughout the week tailored to niche communities of people in an effort to go to the places Jesus would go, eat with the people Jesus would eat with, and create church for the people farthest away from the organized church. Pray for their efforts to connect with the local community through studying, playing, and praying together. Visit www.createchurch.org for more information.
