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.

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!

Where is God? Is God dead? No, He is surely with us. And He is redeeming our world. We continue our Lord's Prayer sermon series and take a deep dive into the first section of the Lord's prayer. "Our Father who art in Heaven"

Prayer is not something we do naturally. It’s difficult to make a regular part of our lives and we often struggle to feel like it does anything. Even the disciples wondered about prayer and asked Jesus to teach them to pray. So at least we know the disciples weren’t chosen because of their amazing prayer life.

"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 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.

To understand sloth we need to start from scratch. Forget what you think you know about sloth and join us on this introspective journey into the most misunderstood of the seven deadly sins. Sloth is deeply woven into the fabric of our brokenness.

Is pride the deadliest of the seven deadly sins? Pride makes a new covenant with us, that “we will be like God, and that we will surely not die.”

Lust is a deeply personal and powerful sin that impacts our lives. How are we to think about lust and how can we battle against it to experience freedom and new life in Christ?

Greed is a sin that hides unlike any other. It hides behind our comparisons and excuses and endless craving for more. But greed isn’t about how much you own, it’s about what owns you.

Gluttony is about the habits of your heart, and the health of your soul. If we're careful to examine our own hearts we shall surely find gluttony at work in us regardless of our waist size. Because gluttony is not just about food. It is a disordered appetite for more.

This sermon on envy begins a new sermon series on the 7 deadly sins. The idea of the seven deadly sins comes out of Proverbs 6:16-19. As we dive into what envy is, and why it is "deadly". We pray you would find the tools to put to death the envy in your own heart and that you would find in it's absence the pure joy of the Spirit of God!

There are two ways of life according to 1 Peter 5. The way of The Lion, and the way of The Lamb. Peter warns us against the way the lion. Find out what Peter is talking about with us as we finish our sermon series on 1 Peter.

There are many things in this small passage that don't seem to make sense to a modern mind. Peter is speaking the gospel into a particular time and place. Peter wants to teach us how the Church should engage the state, how the Church should engage injustice and how the Church should engage the way of Jesus Christ.

We are all priests in exile? What does that mean? God is building a priesthood of believers. A community of redemption. It is only in this priesthood, this community, that we will find the answers to our suffering, our grief, and our pain. We are priests exiled together for the glory of Christ and the life of the world.

When was the last time you felt hope? As we continue asking, "What is my salvation for?", Peter teaches us that it's so we might hope. But knowing the hope of our salvation requires that we understand that we live in exile, because this world is not our home. When we see the hopeless reality of sin in this world, we experience the hope of what God has done in this world through Jesus Christ.
