James 1:13 says "God does not tempt anyone" and in Matthew 6:13 Jesus teaches his disciples to pray "... Lead us not into temptation". How can both of these be true? As we seek to grow deeper in prayer and in union with God in our fight against temptation, consider that Jesus would rather die than sin, but we would rather sin than feel like we were dying. We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

Forgiveness is hard. But Jesus' teaching on forgiveness is even harder. Jesus challenges our ideas about forgiveness in these passages, but the question you have to answer is "Is hanging onto that grudge worth your relationship with God"? We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

What does it mean to pray for our daily bread? More than likely, you have heard it taught, that one should pray, only for the provision of one days food. If so... you're not wrong.... but the bread makes all the difference. Jesus coins a new term when he says "Bread". It's a word that is found no where else in the Bible. And it means so much that if you do eat of it.... you will never hunger again!!! We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

What does it mean to pray for God's kingdom to come in the Lord's Prayer? The kingdom of God can be something mysterious to us, yet Jesus puts it at the very front of our prayer. When we see the gospel in light of the kingdom, it reveals how Jesus was teaching us to pray for the power of the gospel to be at work in our lives, especially when life gets hard and we struggle to know what to pray. We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

Prayer is the means of leading us into communion and closeness to God. But sometimes the more we pray the more distant we feel from Him. How can prayer make us feel so close and so far from God at the same time? What really is the purpose of prayer? We search deeper into The Lord's Prayer this week in search for the answers! We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

We begin a new journey this week into the Lord's Prayer. Maybe you've thought "I don't really know how to pray, or what to pray for"? Maybe you've been embarrassed to pray in front of others? Maybe you start to pray but you get distracted? Or maybe you're a seasoned veteran of prayer and are asked to lead groups in prayer all the time? No matter what you think you know or don't know about prayer. Or what church background you have? We are going to deep dive into the richness of Jesus words in response to his disciples when one asked... "Lord, teach us to pray" We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

"Mea maxima culpa" is traditionally used in a prayer of confession, and is most emphatic expression of guilt. In Luke 18 Jesus reveals what He's really after! We pray for a softness of heart for you and all of God’s people. That you would come to Jesus like the tax collector, and with empty hands, give your whole heart to Him.

We close our sermon series on the seven deadly sins this week with "Anger". Looking at Absalom in 2 Sam 13 we see Absalom's desire for justice turn into a lust for vengeance. When he gets his vengeance, instead of his anger being quenched, it is only kindled until it destroys him. Stop planning your revenge and turn your eyes upon Jesus

Sloth = Laziness right? That's not me. I'm so busy. Im barely keeping my head above water. How am I a sloth? To understand sloth we need to start from scratch.

Is pride the deadliest of the seven deadly sins? Ezekiel 28 tells us that Satan opened the door to pride and pride grew into all the other deadly sins. Pride is the deadliest because it spits in the face of God. Pride removes God from His throne and places its host there. Pride makes a new covenant with us, that “we will be like God, and that we will surely not die” We pray for conviction, and a softness of heart for you and all of God’s people, as you look inward to expose the pride festering in your own heart to the light of Christ.
