Pastor Hart preaches on the introduction and the first petition of the Lord's Prayer for our 2021 Lenten series on the Lord's Prayer.

Leviticus 5:1-13. People deal with guilt in a number of different ways. There is a way though, that God has revealed to deal with guilt. Whatever the source of your guilt may be, God has dealt with it. * Please excuse the audio fluke toward the end of the message. We're still trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it. Once/If we get it figured out, we'll reupload the audio file without...

Ash Wednesday service looking at the second petition of the Lord's Prayer. 

Exodus 35:29-36:2. What does it look like to be filled and moved by the Spirit? In this text we're introduced to a few people who've been filled with and moved by the Spirit. How did they get filled and what did they do afterwards? The answer is pretty simple and yet profound at the same time.

Exodus 25:1-9, 17-22. The LORD is a God who desires to be with His people. Here in this text we read the detailed instructions that God gives in order that He might dwell with His people. The LORD is still the same today and desires to meet with you.

Exodus 6:1-13. We believe what we see, after all, we've seen it. It's real. However, the ideas with which we often color what we se aren't always based on truth. It was a problem for the Israelites, a problem for Moses, and a problem for us still today.

Genesis 46:1-7. Does Jacob turn his back on the LORD and on His promise as he leaves the promised land for Egypt? Does the LORD turn His back on Jacob? Will He turn His back on you?

Genesis 26:1-11. The LORD makes a promise to Isaac in the midst of famine. Isaac trusts the LORD but finds himself giving into fear rather than faith. In spite of Isaac's faithlessness, we see God's faithfulness.

Mark 1:9-11. Pastor Hart shares about the work of God in our baptism from Mark's account of Christ's baptism.

Genesis 1. The first chapter of Genesis not only shares the origin of creation but also the origin of our salvation.

Revelation 12:1-17. Christmas is more than a reason to give gifts to loved ones, it's also the beginning of the fulfillment of the first gospel promise in Genesis 3. Revelation 12 gives us another perspective of what happened at the birth of Christ and how it's still relevant for us today. 

Matthew 2:1-12. Christmas Eve 2020. How far are you willing to go for hope? You actually don't have to go anywhere. The message of Christmas is the message of hope coming to us. 

Isaiah 9:1-6. Are you broken? Then this passage is full of good news for you!

Revelation 1:1-7. There's something God wants you to know. He wants all people to know it. So much so He had it written down so we can learn it. What is it that God so desperately wants you and all people to know? Do you know it?

2 Peter 3:1-18. Why is it taking Jesus so long to return if He's really coming back? Didn't He say it'd be soon? Has He forgotten about us? Peter points us back to what the Scriptures say and who God is, encouraging believers to be on the guard for anything others say to the contrary.

I Peter 1:10-16. Looking ahead helps us to see what's coming, realize the moment we're in, and take the proper action as we wait for what's to come. What is it that we have to look forward to?

Psalm 96:1-13. The psalmist describes the worship the LORD requires and why He requires it. 

Hebrews 1:1-4. Comparing yourself to others may make you feel better for the moment but it will never last. However, comparing one person to everything else and seeing how much greater he is will give you lasting comfort. Jesus is better than all the prophets and angels, and because of that, He can comfort you with a comfort that'll last forever.

Hebrews 10:1-10. Sacrifices were a common practice for this Hebrew audience, and though it looks a little different for us today, we're still tempted to think there's merit in our sacrifices. Ultimately though, they can't do anything for us. God did, however. Listen to why that matters for you today.

Hebrews 4:1-16. Not everyone who starts a race finishes. The same can be said about the Christian life. This passage reminds us of the need to be diligent in the race set before us with and how to be diligent.

Titus 2:1-15. How does the Gospel inform us how to live? Why does it matter how we live? Paul tells Titus the answers to these questions as he urges Titus to proclaim these timeless truths to his congregation.
