    Sermon 12 in a study in the Sermon on the Mount

    As we come now to chapter 6 of Matthew’s gospel, and continue in our study of this sermon, I want to address just a couple of peripheral issues that may or may not arise in the mind of the hearer/reader, but should be broached just on the chance that they might. First, there is the question of ...read more

    This sermon explores the profound importance of faith as the foundation of our Christian lives, enabling us to please God and overcome life's challenges.

    Good morning, dear friends. As we gather here today, we are knit together by a common thread, a shared hope, a mutual faith. We are a tapestry of believers, each of us a unique strand, yet woven together in the loom of God's love. We are here to seek, to learn, and to grow in our understanding of ...read more
