Reformation Sunday

4d ago

—

We are familiar with the so-called “humblebrag”--the subtle attempt to prop oneself up by appealing to one’s ostensible lowliness. We are too well attuned to that move and find it galling. What Paul will say in this passage is his most self-effacing...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

Our First Love

10d ago

—

As we close our series through I John, we are reminded that God is the source of love and only as we see His great love for us in the finished work of Jesus can we then move in gratitude to love others and flee from idols that can never love us like Him.על ידי Craig Lotz

Love: A Foil & The Hero

2M ago

Reclaiming Desire and Resisting Deception

2M ago

—

As we make our way deeper into 1 John, we hear an exhortation and a warning. The exhortation is to not love the world or the things of the world--that which goes against our Messiah's way. Then we hear a warning to not be deceived by...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

1
Knowing We Know God

2M ago

—

After sounding the initial notes of fellowship with God and others as the song for practicing the way of Jesus, a new theme emerges in the second chapter of 1 John: How we know we know God. The call to obedience, the call to love all others as Christ...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

Fellowship Restored

3M ago

—

On the heels of considering the person and work of the Holy Spirit for many months, we spent the better part of a year on the power and privilege of prayer. God is moving us to practice his presence in more places and spaces in our lives as a church...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

The Waters We Drink

3M ago

Temptation & Evil

3M ago

After the call to the marathon that is forgiveness, we move to the final petition in the Lord's Prayer. You don't need a pastor to tell you that temptation and evil are ubiquitous today. But we do need clarity as to what God does for those...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

On Forgiveness

Daily Bread

4M ago

1
Your Will Be Done

4M ago

—

The final God-ward petition, “your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” may be the most difficult petition for modern people to pray. When “you do you” is our basic modus operandi, doing our Father’s will may feel like forcing the proverbial...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

1
Your Kingdom Come

4M ago

—

In light of our gospel privilege to commune with our Father in prayer, we turn our attention back to Jesus' prayer to the second God-ward petition, “Your kingdom come”. To a curious Pontius Pilate Jesus reveals that he is the King of a kingdom...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

The Privilege of Prayer

5M ago

—

Prayer is so much better than a duty. It is an amazing privilege to be able to come at any time into the presence of God to worship Him and to share our hopes, dreams, hurts and needs. We would give anything to have this privilege were it not already...על ידי Ken Downer

Hallowed Be Your Name

5M ago

Start with the End 37:10

5M ago37:10

37:10

From how not to pray—masquerading as someone else before God and others—Jesus shifts gears: “Pray then like this,” he says, “Our Father in heaven…” These potent first four words will be supplemented with his teaching later in his sermon about a...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

Performance vs. Hiddenness

5M ago

—

Our final focus in our sermon series on prayer shifts to the Lord's Prayer. Right out of the gate, Jesus shows us how not to pray. Jesus reveals how a certain sin can lurk subterranean in our prayers, one that is so mainstream in our culture...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

The Prayer of Lament is a Calling

6M ago

—

We’ve tried to explain a sadly too prominent kind of necessary prayer: the prayer of lament. It is our desperate act of appealing to a good God amid what often feels anything but good. We’ve said it is at bottom a longing, and also a journey. But we...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
Between Here and Hope

6M ago

—

Those who place their trust in the Lord are not immune to hardship, nor to the loss of hope we might associate in our day with depression. The experience of hopelessness is reportedly on the rise in many places and among several demographics, and with...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
Prayer in Despair

6M ago

—

Psalm 88 is the bleakest of all the psalms. It shares the same sorrow as other psalms of lament, but it lacks any of the resolution or hope. What does such a darkened word of prayer have for us? From it we learn what we will all have the occasion for...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
What Jesus Wants for Us, Part 2

6M ago

—

st week we asked what Jesus wants for us. In that we find His prayers for us. And in what He prays for us we find not only what to pray for ourselves also, but perhaps a new motivation, born of him endearing himself to us in what he wants and prays...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

What Jesus Wants for Us, part 1

7M ago

—

You can learn something about a person by what they want from you. Even more by what they want for you. For the next three weeks we will look at what is known as Jesus’s High Priestly Prayer, in which we will hear what he most wants for His own by...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
Prayer After Easter

7M ago

Easter changed everything. How did Easter impact the prayers of God’s people? By exploring the first recorded corporate prayer after the resurrection, we are (re)oriented to the kind of prayer the risen Jesus intends for his people.על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

Resurrection Sunday, Easter 2024

7M ago

—

The idea of resurrection is, contrary to conventional thinking, not confined to religious tradition. It has found its way into human intuition among even the most formidable minds with commitments to rationality just as strong. We’ll hear from one and...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
The Prayer of the Sobered

7M ago

—

We’ve said there is no true repentance without praying. To that we add a corresponding truth that how you pray, the heart you cultivate in your praying, will have bearing on the life you then manifest. How you pray and the heart that is formed in the...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
A Sinner’s Prayer

8M ago

—

Isn’t it curious that one thing we might most fear is precisely the way into new freedom? I’m talking about the confession of sin. Psalm 32 is a sinner’s prayer, highlighting the path from the place of sorrow and inner strife to the place of gladness...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

Prayer is a Learned Conversation

True Repentance Depends on Prayer: A Sufferer’s Prayer

Seeking God’s Face

8M ago

—

Prayer is in right now. In fact, prayer and meditation are on the rise even as the American church is in decline. While most of us pray, we need a refresher course on what prayer is. In Psalm 27, God is out to redefine, reclaim, and rekindle our...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

1
Practice Begins Here

9M ago

—

We do not pray for the sake of praying. It is ordered to an even greater end. It is part of a good life. While Psalm 1 begins the prayerbook of Israel it is the only utterance that is not a prayer. But as it describes the fact, the character, and the...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
Pray for your Lives

9M ago

—

The first recorded address of God by humanity--the first “prayer”--comes in the context of humanity’s tragic choice–what we know as the fall from grace. And while that moment offers no explicit or intended teaching on the warrant, substance, or...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
The Spirit and Speaking

9M ago

—

What was it all for? Why devote close to a year learning from and about the Holy Spirit? So much of what we considered focused on his purposes for us personally and communally. We want to conclude our particular attention to the Spirit with a focus on...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
The Spirit and the Sacraments–II: The Table

9M ago

—

Humans have always been ritual-making creatures. We establish patterns, habits, and traditions which form our sense of identity and offer us meaning. The Lord’s Supper is one more example of our inclination to meaning-filled ritual. But its power lies...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
The Spirit and the Sacraments – I: Baptism

9M ago

—

The sacraments of baptism and Lord’s Supper are neither magic nor are they mere moments that invoke a memory meant to move us. If not like those, what are they? What are they for? And if they involve something inward–something spiritual–then how, if...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

What’s the Spirit up to in a Sermon?

10M ago

We round out our study of the Holy Spirit with a final stretch of sermons on the activity of the Holy Spirit in our private and public acts of worship. This week we consider what the Spirit is “up to” in the human act of preaching.על ידי Patrick Lafferty

A Spiritual Renewal

10M ago

—

Spiritual renewal and revival are buzzwords both inside and, in recent times, outside of evangelicalism. What is spiritual renewal and what is it for? We’ll turn to one of Paul’s final letters as we seek spiritual renewal for ourselves and for the...על ידי Andrew Kerhoulas

Glory Changes

10M ago

—

This time of year the impulse to make changes for the good is high. And like the morning frost that impulse disappears in the sunlight. We are not saved by change, but we are saved for it. What kind of change and what motive must be behind the change?...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

There’s a Glory in Play

10M ago

Glory made and meant for comfort

11M ago

—

This season solicits merriment–some might say almost mandates it if you wish to fit in. But often the mirth belies the burdens so many of us carry. We all naturally seek comfort in such times. The glory of God, far from being an abstract idea, is...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

1
Glory in the Glory Restored

11M ago

—

In light of the vocabulary of Scripture, one might be forgiven for reducing humanity’s plight to its corruption in sin. But only when one pauses to see the transgression that sin is against the larger backdrop of the “weight of glory”–what is of God...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

Aayan's First Christmas

11M ago

—

The younger you are, the more likely you think your greatest days of glory are within your grasp. The older you get, there’s a corresponding proneness to thinking your best days are behind you. Advent answers both those natural inclinations with a...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

What’s It All About?

11M ago

—

We have looked at the fruit of the Spirit and explored the impetus, variety, and the collective purpose of our gifts. We now summarize this mini series (within the Spirit series) as we look at our roles, aim and the Source to keep in step.על ידי Craig Lotz

Body Wellness

12M ago

What does a body of Christ, to whom and for whom the Spirit gives gifts, “look like” when it is functioning as it ought? We know what are the characteristics of a physical body. What are the characteristics of a gifted and well body of Christ?על ידי Patrick Lafferty

Bespoke Gifts

12M ago

—

This Christmas you might receive a gift that, its good intentions notwithstanding, could not miss more as to whether it fits you. There’s a whole movement of companies now that try to match products with the particularities of people known as...על ידי Patrick Lafferty

True Spirituality

12M ago

—

It’s been said that you are what you do when no one is looking. In other words the character of your life is revealed in the private moments of solitude. In Paul’s day the conventional mark of true spirituality was the public demonstrations of...על ידי Patrick Lafferty
