We continue examining the Lord’s Prayer which is a model of prayer given to us by Jesus Himself. As we look deeper into this wonderful example, we will see Jesus telling us what we must know to grow stronger in prayer.
Matthew 6:9-13 is one of the most popular passages in the New Testament. It contains a model of prayer Jesus gave His disciples as part of the Sermon on the Mount. It covers foundational basics that are expanded upon throughout Scripture, and its importance cannot be overstated. Prayer is the primary way God releases His power through His people. Who better to learn from than Jesus Himself?
From the beginning, God gave mankind authority over the earth. However, if we don’t know we have authority, we can’t take advantage of what is available. As a result, we live below God’s standard. Join us for a reminder of the authority God has given to us!
Enjoy this special message from our guest speaker and friend, Mark Shell.
We are defined by who we are in Christ. God establishes this definition by who He is and what He has done for us. When we truly understand this, we know how to live the life God intends for us. Satan hates who we are in Christ so he declares war on us. However, we don’t have to let him win that war! Join us as we explore how to stand victorious in the revelation of how God sees us.
In the beginning, mankind messed up and put separation between us and God. Then Jesus came, as fully God and fully man, to restore what was lost in Eden's Garden with His death on the cross and victorious-over-death resurrection. We can now have the life God originally intended for us because our position with the Creator is restored!
Too many people lack a proper view of life and, therefore, don’t value life the way they should. Scripture tells us in Psalm 139:14, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Join us as we look at the worth of humanity through the eyes of God.
Change is necessary for success. We all have a choice: to adjust how we live daily or to stay the same. Join us as we conclude this sermon series with our seventh and final decision for Godly success.
Everyone wants to have a successful life.Throughout the year we make daily choices that determine whether or not we are successful. Join us as we will continue to share the principles that will help us make decisions for Godly success.
As Christians, we know that our Heavenly Father wants the best for all of His children. He wants us to be successful in every area of our lives. And we must understand that success is not based on what we do (career or job), it is based on who we are. It’s making right decisions stemming from who we are in Christ.
Life can be hard. It’s full of twists, turns, and decisions that we have to make. The choices we make determine the course of our lives. The decisions we make not only affect us, but they affect those around us as well. What choices are the right ones? What makes the difference between failure and success?
In chapter 5, James winds down his letter by showing us that the heart of God is open to every aspect of our Christian lives through prayer and praise. He concludes his letter with the message that Christian fellowship is a safety net to protect all from falling away from God’s grace.
In chapter 5 of our expository sermon series, James encourages Christians to be patient and strong in their faith as they wait for the Lord's coming. We will see our harvest!
A Living Faith cannot be achieved without a humble dependence on God. James cautions us against having an attitude of independence from our Creator. He also issues a challenge to every believer to live according to what we know in the Lord.
A living faith cannot be achieved through pride because God resists the proud. Therefore, being humble should be of the utmost importance to us. In fact, submitting ourselves to God in humility is our responsibility as Christ-confessing believers. Join us as we explore the humble attributes of a living faith revealed in James 4:1-12.
In the first chapter of James’ letter, we learned that if we feel that we lack wisdom, we can ask God for it. Join us as we discover James’ definition of what wisdom really is—his unique understanding of what wisdom from God actually looks like.
Words can hurt or heal. They can leave scars and cuts, or they can be soothing medicine. Thus it’s imperative to be careful what we say to others.Can we control what we say? Yes.Is it always easy? No, but with the Lord’s help, we can.
Being in control of what we say is part of how we demonstrate our living faith. Our words have power so what we say truly matters. James teaches us that the caution and care with what we say reveals a true spiritual maturity.
James seems to say that we need to work for our salvation. But is that true?Salvation is simple: faith by grace. At the same time, our actions matter.Transformation occurs in the life of the believer after salvation. What does that look like?
Do you see others the way God sees them?In his epistle, James establishes the principle of no partiality. As Christians, we need to embrace this same principle in the life of the church. Join us as we continue our exploration of James, and discover how to see others as God sees them.
