Praying God’s Way
I have heard a lot of questions about prayer from folks in our church during this season of prayer and fasting that we have been doing as a church. Prayer can be a hard concept to grasp. It is quite literally, otherworldly. But let me ask you a question today: do you...
What Are You Made Of?
There is a lot of talk today about what goes into our food. I don’t know about you, but I rarely am able to pronounce 50% of the ingredients in some of the products on the shelves these days. Words that seem like they are made up. Which, quite frankly, is a good...
The Power of Christ’s Holiness
Holiness can be a scary word sometimes. We see our inadequacies, where we fall short. There is a negative term out there, “holier than thou”. Have you ever heard of it or used it in a negative way towards somebody? “Oh, he or she thinks they are holier than thou...
Look to Christ and Live
Evangelist Robert L. Sumner told the story of a man from Kansas City who was severely injured in an explosion on the job. It injured him so much that his face was badly burned and he lost both of his hands and his eyesight. It was a tragic event. Of all of his loss...
Believing God’s Report
I don’t know about you, but there are a lot of reports in this world of information we live in. I read a pretty funny one the other day… You’ve got to love the internet. On Thursday March 6th, an article came out of a woman on Tiktok (of course) who is eating packing...
What Can Jesus Do?
The feeding of the 5,000 is a very famous passage. In fact, this is only the miracle, besides the resurrection, that takes place in all 4 of the gospels. David Platt: “Perhaps no story in the Bible, other than the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, confronts us with...
Who Is Your God?
We all serve something. In fact, some of us serve things and we don’t even know it. In Exodus 34:14, God declares that he is a jealous God and that we should worship no other god than him. Do you have a god other than the Lord that you serve? Does anybody here know...
What You’ve Been Given
This parable today is one of the longest parables that we find in the gospel of Matthew. It is one of the three that Jesus gave to warn people of the suddenness of his coming. His coming can refer to an eschatological coming, at the end of the age, or our personal...
What It Takes
Peter had just declared that Jesus was the Messiah, nobody had done this yet. Jesus applauds Peter, “This was revealed to you by my Father!” Jesus declares in Matthew 16:17. Quickly after this, Peter tells Jesus he won’t die and is told to “get behind me Satan” by...
Finding You True Love
Love makes you do some crazy things doesn’t it? I have heard some wild stories of what some people have done in the name of love. I heard of one poor guy who fell in love and shortly after he began dating this girl her brother fell ill in the hospital. He ended up...
Where Is Your Treasure?
This morning we are covering a famous passage with a timeless question: where is your treasure? What do you value the most in this life? So many things vie for our attention and pull for the affections of our heart. We know that Jesus and the kingdom of God is the...
The Fall
So what can we learn from the fall of man? How did we get here, and what does this all mean for us today? We see in the Genesis story the fall of man in one of the greatest tragedies ever told. Adam and Eve had it all: all their needs met, a garden of glory and...
