Sermons

This week we will continue continue to focus the disciplines of our faith. There are many wonderful example in the scriptures of believers that lived out the command of Christ. In Acts chapter eight we will consider the story of Philip and the Ethiopian official. It is a wonderful story of the way God works through disciples that are willing to do what ever and go where ever the sprit of God sends. God is still a sending God. Are you a Going disciple?

As we continue to look at the disciplines of our discipleship and taking steps towards godliness we are going to turn to Jesus’ instruction to His disciples on how to abide in Him. This is such a rich teaching. In it we will see that from our relationship with Christ and his life flowing into ours, comes the strength we need to; remain in his word, persist in prayer, be faithful in service to one another and fruitful in our witness.

As we continue to pursue the goal of Godliness we will explore the critical role of prayer in the life of the disciple of Christ. His disciples came to him asking," Lord teach us to pray". We as His disciples today need to grow in our understanding and practice of a life of prayer. This become all the more apparent when we remember that we are engaged in spiritual warfare. To be able to stand in a world that has become increasingly dark we need to employ the spiritual weapons of the word of God and praying in the spirit at all times. Let us consider the importance of persistent prayer.

This Sunday we will begin a new series of message titled Begin a New Chapter. I think all of us are ready to say goodbye to 2020 and look with hope to a new year. We are thankful that we serve our God who makes all things new. It is His grace that enables us to start a new chapter in our lives. As disciples of Jesus this new chapter is an opportunity to focus on the true goal of the Christian life and set a direction for our discipleship. .

This is the last Sunday of Advent season. As we prepare for the celebration of Christ birth we look at the familiar story found in Luke 2:1-12. Even though we have read it many times it still holds surprises for us, most of all, the Wonders of His love. Join us as we are reminded that Christmas is full of surprises!
