Messages on Spiritual Growth
Come Lord Jesus
Today we finish our series on Profound Prayers; and, as I like to do, I’ll give you a quick review of the prayers we’ve covered over the past few weeks. As you remember these sermons from the past few weeks, you may notice that this series was not about giving you a pattern to follow. The Bible doesn’t give us a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all pattern for every prayer. Yes, the Lord’s Prayer is a model but we still don’t pray it…
Forgive Them
In Kids’ Church today, our children will begin a series in which they wlll learn about the life of job, and how God was with job even in the middle of his suffering. Did I say “job”? I meant “Job.” Forgive me, please. I hope you have all forgiven me for this minor error. After all, I didn’t actually inflict any real pain on any of you. Mea culpa. But what if, when we are leaving today, I backed into…
Have Mercy On Me, A Sinner
In today’s sermon, we dive into one of Jesus’ parables from Luke 18:9-14, where a Pharisee and a tax collector come before God in prayer.
Unity
As we approach election season, we’re surrounded by division—whether it’s politics, social issues, or even personal preferences. In today’s message, we dive into the topic of unity, not just as a goal for our nation but as a calling for every believer. Even in a world that seems increasingly polarized, Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17 reminds us of our deeper purpose: to be ONE, just as He and the Father are one.
Join us as we explore the real meaning of unity, how to navigate differences with grace, and how seeking Jesus brings us closer to each other. Whether it’s in marriage, friendships, or church communities, the path to unity starts with moving toward Christ.
We Don’t Know What To Do
In this message, we explore what to do when life brings you to a point where you feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of the next steps. Whether you’re dealing with family struggles, unexpected crises, or a sense of hopelessness, we turn to the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 for guidance. Learn how, when faced with impossible odds, he prayed the simple yet powerful prayer: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
The Lord’s Prayer
In this message, we explore how Jesus used “The Lord’s Prayer” as a model to teach His disciples—and us—how to pray. Just as we teach our children through examples and repetition, Jesus gives us this prayer to shape our conversations with God.
Profound Prayers
In this new series, “Profound Prayers,” we explore the meaning of blessings and how they reflect God’s favor and protection. We dive into Numbers 6:22-27, unpacking the Aaronic blessing and its relevance for us now, including the conditions tied to God’s blessings.
A Problem of the Heart
We’ll explore why our words hold such power, the difficulty of controlling our speech, and how our hearts play a crucial role in what we say. As we wrap up, we’ll consider practical ways to guard our hearts and ensure our speech is life-giving.
What to Say and How to Say It
We’ll explore the impact of negative words such as gossip, slander, and sarcasm, and learn how to replace them with life-giving, encouraging, and comforting words. Discover how the “how” we communicate is just as crucial as the “what” we say.
Life or Death in the Tongue
From marketing slogans to personal conversations, words can build movements or cause harm. We’ll examine how even small words can have immense impact, reflecting on biblical teachings and real-life examples. Join us as we learn to use our words wisely and intentionally, transforming them into a source of life and encouragement.
