Jesus' praying on the Mount of Olives in Luke 22:39-46 shows us several aspects of Jesus' prayer life.
Scripture Jesus’ last night on earth was spent eating a meal with his twelve apostles. He earnestly desired to eat this meal with them, because he knew that he was about to suffer and die the next day (Luke 22:15). However, the Last Supper was very disappointing to Jesus. Instead of a ...read more

Denomination: Presbyterian/Reformed
Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. But we can be declared good through Christ. If we have been born again there are some things we need to be doing. We need to discern what is good and then we need to do what we know is good.
Recap: Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. Most people think they are good but that's because they're using the wrong standard of measurement. Rick Warren writes, "Goodness can only be measured by God. God is the standard of goodness. If we compare ourselves to ...read more

This sermon focuses on the rise, fall, and restoration of Peter, and three key principles we can glean from it.
How many of you have heard about or read the book “The Peter Principle”? The basic premise is quite simple. It is the idea that in a work place environment, given enough time and enough promotions, people will rise to their level of incompetency. Basically, they will get to a place where their ...read more

Following Jesus means embracing His challenging teachings, trusting Him even when it’s hard, and letting His words transform us beyond our comfort and preferences.

You’re reading the Bible in the early hush of morning, coffee cooling by your chair, and a sentence seems to stand up from the page. It has weight. It has heat. It asks ...read more

Jesus gave us all warnings about his return. Are these the end times?
As I read this passage, it kept reminding me of something. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but there was something very familiar about it! I know that I have read this somewhere else, other than the bible. But where? Maybe I read it in a book. Maybe I read it in the Left Behind series? That ...read more

Many times opportunities come but once. A. Sometimes they get by us because we just aren’t paying attention. 1. Things slip by us when we are intent on our own projects, goals, or activities. B. Then too........we can be attacked, criticized or beat down because of our ...read more
