Expecting Jesus Part 1: Zechariah (Luke 1:5-20)

Thankful For You (Ephesians 1:15-19)
When we hear that people are praying for us and have such a passion and zeal for the church, it encourages us. As Paul thinks of the church in Ephesus, he is filled with thankfulness - and Paul is only man! When Jesus thinks of us, we can only ...

A House That Prays Part 5: God's Good Pleasure (Matthew 11:16-25)
Even Jesus was often misunderstood! Our perspective of Him will shape our perspective of prayer. Are we praying to a God who is truly sovereign or only sort-of-sovereign? Learning to trust Him will help us come to Him with humility, honoring Go...

A House That Prays Part 3: Keep Knocking (Matthew 7:7-12)
Is it right for us to come with an expectant attitude when we're praying, especially when we're asking God for things? Is it rude for us to keep asking him for the same things? The answers to these questions have a lot to do with motive, of cou...

A House That Prays Part 2: Pray Like This (Matthew 6:9-15)
When Jesus says, "You should pray like this:" we're about to learn something very important if we pay attention. What follows these instructive words from Jesus is what we know as the Lord's Prayer. What if we really use this as not just someth...

A House That Prays Part 1: This Is Not A Show (Matthew 6:5-8)
Wouldn't it be amazing to have Jesus teach us to pray? In The Sermon On The Mount Jesus takes some time to teach into prayer. For people who feel like their prayers seem like a performance or a pretense; for people who feel distracted when they...

My Yoke Fits Well (Labor Day Weekend) (Matthew 11:25-30)

Jesus Prays Part 2: Praying For Our Friends (John 17:6-19)

Jesus Prays Part 1 - That They May Know You (John 17:1-5)
What would it be like to listen in to Jesus praying? What could we learn? In John Chapter 17, we get the opportunity to do exactly this, and one the discoveries we make is that the God to whom we pray is a God of relationship. This God is deepl...

The Sign Of Jonah Part 6: Is It Right For You To Be Angry? (Jonah 4:1-11)
Scandalous grace! God's compassion and care for not only 'good' people, but really not good people is astounding, and can even offend our sensibilities. Jonah is furious that God would act this way toward 'those people!' The surgery Go...

Rain At The Right Time (Joel 2:13-29; 2 Timothy 1:6)
The people of Judah we encounter in the Old Testament book of Joel are struggling after serious disaster. Crops have been decimated by infestations of locusts, while fire and drought have destroyed pasture land. The resulting lack is so signifi...

The Sign Of Jonah Part 5: The Sending (Jonah 3:1-10)
Jonah has already run away from God's purpose once, but that isn't the end of his story or of God's calling on his life. Like Jonah, we may not always like the places and people to which God commissions us to go, but Jesus' Great Commission to ...

The Sign Of Jonah Part 4: The Salvation (Jonah 1:17-2:10)

The Sign Of Jonah Part 3: The Sacrifice (Jonah 1:14-16)

The Sign Of Jonah Part 2: The Storm (Jonah 1:4-13)
The ship Jonah used in order to run from God's presence ran him straight into a storm, and no matter how hard the sailors tried to row they couldn't break free from it. When we find ourselves in a serious 'headwind' that threatens to sink our s...

The Sign Of Jonah Part 1: Jonah And The Big Shock (Jonah 1:1-3)
God isn't afraid to ask us to do something we really don't want to do or that doesn't feel at all natural to us. This was certainly the case when He asked Jonah to go to "them," the people of the wicked city of Nineveh. Jonah's response? He's s...

Son Of David Part 6: The Divine Messiah (Psalm 110; Matthew 22:41-46; Mark 12:35-37)
