    Teach Us To Pray Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 11, 2025
     | 225 views

    Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.

    Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more

    What hope do we have of ever being loved by God? Is God really on our side or are we just cosmic orphans? Let’s look at how the Holy Spirit stands with us in John 14:15-21.

    What hope do we have of ever being loved by God? Is God really on our side or are we just cosmic orphans? Let’s look at how the Holy Spirit confirms God’s love in John 14:15-21.

    A message of encouragement to remind us that salvation through Christ provides us with a living hope for today as well as for our future.

    CHRISTIANITY IS A RELIGION OF RESURRECTION. IN FACT, IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WORD OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS "RESURRECTION." PAUL SAID IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15:14, "IF CHRIST BE NOT RISEN, THEN IS OUR PREACHING VAIN." WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION, THE VOICE OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE WOULD ...read more

    We all have our giants to face in today's society. Our giants may be our fears, our difficult challenges, our health or our finances. Let us battle our giants as those in our Bible have done so in the past.

    We have been talking, over the past few weeks, about some of the challenges we’ve all been facing. Some, more than others but nonetheless, challenges… and how they tore at our hearts and, more sadly, tore at our faith. I like to think of these challenges as our giants. What is a giant to you?

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation. It is both attracting and detracting, both including and excluding. I am referring to those moments in the old TV show, when Felix Unger, the neat freak half ...read more
