     | 4,682 views

    The disciples of Jesus needed help in learning to pray. In Luke 11: 1 it says, “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’” That let’s m

    “Learning to Pray” Matthew 6: 5-8 May 2, 2010 Intro: I believe one of the toughest spiritual disciplines to develop in the life of a Xian is prayer. Now let me ask you a question. How many of you have had some pretty serious struggles in setting aside a time each day to talk w/God? ...read more

    Walk In Humility

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 3,162 views

    God wants us to cast aside all human pride, and to humbly trust that we need nothing except in him and in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more

    The cross of Jesus gives you a great gift to enjoy right now. The gospel frees you up to be the person you were made to be.

    Do You Know Who You Are? I don’t mean if you have proper identification. So many people struggle with the security of knowing who they are really are.

    Be Wise About Alcohol Series

     | 1,571 views

    Proverbs has a lot to say about the dangers of alcohol abuse and the need for wisdom to avoid the dangers.

    Introduction: A. The story is told about a preacher who decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. 1. So, he placed four jars on a table in front of the congregation and put one worm into each jar. a. The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol. b. The second worm ...read more

    Sometimes the greatest gifts God gives us are the weaknesses we would never choose for ourselves.

    INTRO If we took an inventory of everything that we say in our prayers, we would likely find that the vast majority of our prayers fall into one of two simple prayers. The first category is the “Gimmie” prayer. You know the “gimmie” prayer well. “Lord, gimme that parking spot right up front. And ...read more

    To establish that saints will find themselves faced with undesirable or unpleasant choices, in their walk of faith. Like Paul: “For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” This lesson deals with our ability to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh.

    Only the good news of Jesus Christ can overcome the moral mess of our culture.

    Our world is a mess. It doesn’t take a Ph.D. in ethics to realize that our world has become a dangerous and messed up place to live.

    In confusing times of tragedy and loss like many Americans are facing at the present time, it is hard to make sense of it all. The Psalmist gives us encouragement to seek understanding and confidence in the "sanctuary" of God’s presence.

    The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country. The sale of Bibles is up and that is good news. Alongside of this good news is the report that ...read more

    God says we need him and, even though we might not often think of it in these terms, we wish we didn’t need God. We don’t want to need God.

    A few weeks ago, I was given a list of 75 questions asked by our elementary kids about God. One of them was, “Where is God?” A few astronauts have said that there must not be a God because they’ve been out in space, and they didn’t see him there. Some say God’s in the earth, he’s in the rocks, he’s ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 17,576 views

    This sermon gives a correct view of John Wesley's doctrine of entire sanctification, and teaches us how to be holy.

    Wesleyan Doctrine of Entire Sanctification by Sidney Yuan Before I give the sermon, I like to make a confession. I am not an Arminian. However, I don’t consider myself to be a Calvinist either. I think I am a Calminian. Calvinists have a tendency to stress the sovereignty of God more ...read more

    How should we live in a world that is hostile to Christianity? Not by adopting the culture around us uncritically, nor by rejecting the world completely, but by engaging with the world while guarding against sin.

    This morning, we continue with our study of First Peter. As a reminder, 1 Peter is a general epistle, meaning that it was a letter written to Christians in general, rather than to a specific church body. The first verse of the letter tells us that it was written: “To God’s elect, exiles scattered ...read more
