Our Relationship with God is a Joke if Serious Prayer is Sporadic

Is there a special way to pray or do you see a prayer spending time talking to God?
Prayer is definitely talking with God, but it can also be listening to God.  If you look at the way Jesus taught us to pray in the "Lord's Prayer," we see He included different types of prayer.  Praise, confession, thanksgiving and requests.  All of these elements should be present in our prayer times with God.  Any time spent with God is beneficial to our lives.

A True Follower of Christ Lives for the Common Good of All

You talked about prioritizing women who were widows and orphans, but what about men who are single dads or widowed?
As I mentioned in the sermon, if a male comes to us with a legitimate need, we will give the situation serious consideration.  Our heart is not to turn someone away who needs help.  The same question you are asking me could be asked of God.  "Why God, did you not mention single dads or widowers in the the James 1:27 passage?"  Throughout Scripture we are told to take care of widows and orphans.  So yesterday when I said we are going to prioritize widows, I was only doing what God has asked us to do.  From the beginning of time, males have had an easier ability to provide for themselves and their families.  Therefore, God expects much more from a male than he does a widow.  God has given men the charge to provide for themselves and their families.  I'm not saying that is always easy, but our society does make it easier for a man.  Like I stated earlier, please don't interpret this as nonconcern for single dads or widowers.  I'm just trying to answer the question you submitted.  Thank you for your question.

The Holy Spirit Ignites the Supernatural

How do I open up to let the Holy Spirit in my life?
If you read Acts 2:14-41, you will read the Apostle Peter's first sermon.  After hearing his sermon, people who were listening asked Peter the same question you are asking.  In verse 37 it says they were "cut to the heart" by Peter's message.  They desperately wanted what Peter was talking about.  So at the end of verse 37 the people ask, "Brothers, what shall we do?"  Peter's answer to them is the same answer I give you today.  In verse 38 Peter answered by saying, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” So according to God's Word spoken through Peter, in order to be filled with the Holy Spirit you must first repent, which means turning 180 degrees in the direction toward God and submitting yourself to the Lordship of Christ.  It means making your life all about what He wants for your life rather than you being the leader of your life.  Then Peter says to be baptized.  We have a baptism service coming up August 28.  I would highly encourage you to be a part of that.  If you would like to, pick up a worksheet at the Welcome Center at church and turn it back into one of the pastors.  Peter also mentions the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.  Of course, recognizing that you have been forgiven of your past life through what Jesus did on the cross is the foundational key.  When someone makes a real commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord of their life, they will have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them.  I hope this helps.  If you need further counsel, feel free to contact one of us at the church.  Thanks for the question!
