    This sermon emphasizes living a Spirit-filled life, following Jesus' example of service, love, and sacrifice, and being agents of His justice and joy in the world.

    Good morning, beloved family of God! It's such a joy to be gathered together in the house of the Lord, united by His grace, and bound by His love.

    Teach Us To Pray Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 11, 2025
     | 277 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

    We are blessed with the "Spirit of Glory and of God" that rests on us when we suffer for Christ. This is a message of encouragement to the Child of God who is going through trials.

    Well, we have all had days when it seemed everything went wrong! But I have “Good news about trouble.” - At least for the Child of God. In 1 Peter 4:12-19 we read that trouble is not aways such a bad thing. Peter says that we may be “overjoyed” as a result of our “painful trial.” I recently ...read more

    Kindness

    The message encourages Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of kindness in their character. Evidence of biblical kindness in our lives is explored as well as Issues that undermine kindness.

    Today’s message is very simply entitled “Kindness.” Are you a kind person? The Pharisees of Jesus day were very religious, but they were not kind. Their attitude toward other people was condescending, arrogant, and condemning. This attitude came out in John 7. Jesus was at the temple teaching ...read more

    The main point of this sermon is to encourage believers to renew their minds, resist conforming to worldly patterns, and be transformed by the Holy Spirit in order to live in accordance with God's will.

    To encourage believers to overcome their fears and doubts, and embrace the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline that God has given them, using their talents boldly in faith.

    Good morning, beloved! Today, we are diving deep into a topic that I believe speaks to many of us: The Timid Servant. Our focus will be on Matthew 25:26 and 2 Timothy 1:7, two verses that challenge us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the spirit of faith and boldness. Opening Scripture ...read more

    The Church At Worship

    The apostolic command to be filled with the Spirit is a corporate responsibility of each congregation, and not simply an individual command. Paul instructs the churches what Spirit-filled worship looks like in this text.

    “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one ...read more
