    This is the Fifth Part of the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:13a)

    Today we'll continue our sermon series on the Lord's Prayer. Let's read Matt 6:13, "Lead us not into temptation." Compared to the previous requests, this request is the most confusing prayer. Why should we ask our heavenly Father not to lead us into temptation? Doesn't ...read more

    Why Are We to Prepare Ourselves for Persecution? Matthew 10:16-42 In verses sixteen - eighteen: The resistance of the Pharisees would resemble assaulting wolves. The only expectation that the disciples have is to seek their Shepherd for assurance. We might even confront comparable aggression. Like ...read more

    James gives us some practical advice about how to pass through times of difficulty and testing.

    The book of James was written by the brother of our Lord as a circular letter; a letter of instruction to be copied and passed around among the churches (v. 1). Many believe he was specifically addressing Jewish believers scattered from Jerusalem in the persecution following the stoning of Stephen ...read more

    There is a story told of Chippie the parakeet. Chippie never saw it coming. One second he was peacefully perched in his cage, sending a song into the air; the next second he was sucked into the line of the vacuum cleaner.

    His problem began when his owner decided to clean his cage with a vacuum. She had stuck the nozzle in to suck up the seeds and feathers at the bottom of the cage, when the nearby telephone rang. Instinctively she turned to pick it up. She had barely said hello, when ssswwwwwpppppp! Chippie got ...read more

    When Jesus was arrested, the multitude led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year. Annas sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

    As we look at the trial of Jesus, we will see how the religious leaders disregarded their own laws regarding the legal proceeding of a capital crime (one worthy of death). In this integrated gospel account, we will also see the fulfillment of prophecies written by David.

    It was Preparation Day, the day before the Passover Sabbath. In the darkness of the early hours of the morning, Jesus was arrested. The crowd of guards and soldiers led him bound to Annas. Although Annas had previously been the high priest, Caiaphas his son-in-law was the high priest that year. ...read more
