The Habit of Prayer 14.02.2021 34:09 ↓

Prayer serves as the open line of communication between God and His children. But all prayers are not the same. When we are surrounded by problems and our minds are overloaded with thoughts of anxiety, we often ask the question, "Where is God?" Today's sermon examines an instance in Scripture where the believer seeks answers and help from God through prayer. As we eavesdrop on the Psalmist's exper...

The Habit of Evangelism 07.02.2021 34:08 ↓

God has invited us to participate in His global purposes of making Him known. He has privileged us with the opportunity to share the message of the gospel that has transformed our very lives. When we explore the depths of what God has done for us through the person and work of Jesus, we should be motivated and excited to proclaim the gospel to our neighbors and the nations.

If your faith is in Christ, his Spirit has already made you a vital “body part” of his church: not only accepted, but honored, respected and needed. This is one of the sweetest fruits of the Gospel and one of the primary tools God uses to grow you in grace. Experiencing this reality, however, will cost you. The cost is commitment: not to the church as an organization, but to the actual people who...

Christians expect interpersonal conflict in the church and learn to work through it. Often it is fueled by deeper conflicts between groups within the community. All of us have preferences and “patrons” who represent our particular beliefs, but we must not allow them to encroach on the unifying centrality of the cross. Only Jesus was crucified for us, and we are baptized only in the name of the Fat...
