    Because of society’s moral climate its leaders will question the Bible & do their worst to cause believers to question it also. Jesus Christ second coming calls for & justifies a godly lifestyle, therefore it particularly will be belittled.

     | 3,710 views

    This sermon is an exposition of "The Lord's Prayer." This prayer is sometimes called “The Model Prayer,” and it is an outline for prayer that all of us, as disciples of Jesus, should seek to follow when coming before the Lord with our petitions.

    In our message this morning, we are going to look at what is called “The Lord’s Prayer.” And I want to get started by sharing how the gospel writer Luke prefaces this prayer. We read in Luke 11:1-2, “Now it came to pass, as [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His ...read more

     | 246 views

    There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves. Sometimes that inner voice is not a voice of faith but of fear. We call it “being realistic” or “practical,” but often it’s just fear baptizing itself as wisdom.

    I want to draw your attention to something most of us would never, otherwise, pause to consider very carefully...something that, in a way, we take for granted. Bearing another person’s burdens.
