God's Truth, God's Grace - New Port Presbyterian Church

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 17:20-37 and pointed us to setting our hearts on Christ, not this world. What are some things that can cause you to be distracted from Christ and the Kingdom of God? 

How well are you seeing Jesus these days? Is your mind and heart fixed consistently on Him? Pastor Darrell continues to point us to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who illuminates or enables us to see all that Jesus has accomplished. He reveals and drives the Word into hearts, enabling their affections to be gripped by truth. During this sermon, we look at the following passages: 2 Corinthians 4:...

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 17:11-19 where we read that Jesus healed the 10 lepers, but only one returned to express gratefulness, which revealed a true, saving faith. Be encouraged by considering proper responses of faith as well as truths about Jesus as they are revealed in this passage

Those whom the Lord has redeemed have been given sufficient faith to live the life He calls us to live. We must properly exercise the faith that we have been given and look, not to the greatness of our faith, but to the greatness of the object of our faith.

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 17:1-4 and Sin: Temptation; Protection; and Repenting.

We were encouraged by Pastor Darrell to remember, believe, and have hope in the resurrection of Jesus. We can do this because God's Word tells us that Jesus is alive. He left the tomb and appeared to many. Those who met the resurrected Christ believed and were changed. He now lives to make intercession for us and draws near to us. 

In this message about Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, which we celebrate on Palm Sunday, we see that Jesus is the God and King who comes to us.  We note that He delights to receive the praise of His people.  This sermon was preached right after the baptism of a covenant child.  Pastor Darrell encourages that child's parents--and us all--that not only is Jesus the God and King who comes to...

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 16:19-31, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.  In this passage, Christ speaks of the glorious experience of an eternity spent in the mercy, love, and presence of our Father in heaven, and the anguish that those who are separated from that will experience.

In our passage today from Luke 16:16-17, Pastor Darrell and Christ explain how “the Law and the Prophets” (God’s Word) all point to Christ, who is the fulfillment of that Word and how, through the proclamation of that Word, the Kingdom of God is filled.

Pastor Darrell preaches on 2 Samuel 23:13-17 where we see David's devotion to men, men's devotion to David, and God's devotion to His people.

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 16:1-5, 18 where Jesus commends faithfulness to His disciples. He calls us to not waste the Master's possessions. Who do you recognize as your true Master: things, money, or the Lord? He calls us to daily faithfulness; not only in time, talents, and treasure, but in all of life and in love to Him and others. We can be thankful to our faithful Lord and Savior, Je...

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 14:25-35 with the sermon entitled: Discipleship: Its Cost and Its Goal. There is a high cost to following Jesus. What might the Lord desire for you to "renounce" for the sake of Christ? Be encouraged--He gives us His enabling Spirit!
