Jesus taught us what to pray first. 1. We make God's name central. 2. We consider the honoring of God's name to be our priority. 3. We remember that we bear God's name – Christian. To know the Son is to know the Father. (Baptized into the name of…) What is to be our priority prayer? 1. What is central to our lives; the main thing? Philippians 4:8 2. What is first in our prayers; how do we begin? Psalm 143:8 3. How should we live, since we bear the name of God? John 14:13

The sermon concludes a series on Philippians by examining the final verses to highlight three essential aspects of the Christian life: glory, greeting, and grace. It teaches that believers are created to bring all actions back to God for His glory, ensuring motives remain pure rather than self-centered. The text emphasizes the command to warmly greet every saint in Christ Jesus, demonstrating that genuine spirituality is reflected in loving relationships with other believers. Finally, it asserts that obedience to God's commands is only possible through His enabling grace, which provides the strength needed when human effort falls short. The message urges listeners to align their lives with these truths to fulfill their divine purpose.

Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 16 Article 6 How should David have responded to the death of his son Absalom? The sermon explores the complex intersection of personal grief and public responsibility through King David's reaction to Absalom's death. It contrasts the delicate approach of Ahimaaz with the harsh realism of Joab to illustrate how leaders must balance empathy with duty. The preacher emphasizes that Christian leadership requires sacrificial service, mirroring Jesus Christ who humbled himself to serve others. Despite human imperfections and weaknesses, sincere efforts to please God are accepted through Christ's righteousness. Believers are encouraged to serve with sincerity, trusting in divine grace rather than their own perfection.

The sermon concludes a series on maintaining a quiet soul by emphasizing that true peace requires intentional spiritual discipline and structural routines. It urges believers to exercise themselves unto godliness through consistent Bible reading, deep meditation using the MAP method, and humble yielding to God's will. The message warns against competing gods and casual faith, advocating for specific daily habits like morning devotion and faithful church attendance. By submitting to Scripture and establishing a disciplined lifestyle, Christians can overcome inner turmoil and find lasting peace in Christ.

The sermon warns against the danger of nominal Christianity, where individuals possess a profession of faith but lack the transformative power of God in their lives. Here is a call to a honest assessment of our true spiritual state and a call to experience the reality of God's saving power.

False teachers attack true Christian joy! In Philippians 3 Paul warns against both legalists and libertines, urging his readers to stay on target, looking unto Jesus. We see the danger of legalism, the determination to know Christ, and the right direction of our lives in Christ.

Galatians 5:1–6 sets before the church both a command and a warning: stand fast in the liberty Christ has secured, and do not return to the bondage of law-keeping as a ground of justification. This sermon, the second in the passage, moves from verse 1 into verses 2–6, expositing Paul's argument that to submit to circumcision as a means of acceptance before God is to abandon Christ entirely and to become a debtor to the whole law. The relationship between faith, grace, and the hope of righteousness by the Spirit is brought to bear on the pastoral and doctrinal stakes of the Galatian error. Main points: - the command of liberty reviewed — two imperatives grounded in one indicative (v. 1) - the consequence of circumcision — Christ profits nothing and the whole law is owed (vv. 2–3) - estrangement from Christ and falling from grace — the gravity of seeking justification by law (vv. 4–5) - faith working through love — the true mark of those who wait for righteousness by the Spirit (v. 6) Scripture references: - Galatians 5:1-6 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-galatians-5-the-gospels-precious-liberty-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon expounds on Psalm 122, urging believers to pray for the peace and security of the church, which is typified by Jerusalem. The preacher distinguishes between external threats from the world and internal dangers such as heresy and division caused by Satan. He argues that true peace within the body of Christ is cultivated through a steadfast focus on Jesus Christ as King, a genuine love for fellow believers, and a shared commitment to the glory of God in worship. The text emphasizes that while perfect unity is only possible in eternity, Christians must actively pray for peace and remain vigilant against discord in this life. Ultimately, the message calls for ardent prayer and reliance on Christ's future reign to establish lasting peace within the church.
