Eternal City Church Sunday Sermons

Jesus gives us a simple and most practical rule that if were to live by it, we would fulfill the law and the prophets. The problem is, we cannot and do not live out this simple prescription, therefore we need to enter into life by the narrow gate.

Jesus continues to instruct his disciples in how His kingdom will look as we walk according to His will and by his power.

Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus' clear command to his disciples to be baptized and to baptize as the first mark of being a disciple. In this message we look at what baptism represents and what it means.

Jesus helps us who are prone to being always anxious. He tells us to have faith in our Father in heaven who loves us more than birds and beautiful flowering fields. He loved us enough to send Jesus to take our place and now as Peter exhorts us we can cast our anxieties on him, because he cares for us. We finally have somewhere to go with our anxious thoughts and proclivities!

Jesus Christ is risen from the grave, he is the "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep". All humanity has a continuous and never ending longing for this forth coming great resurrection. Until that day, we stay anchored and tethered to this great coming age that is rooted in hope, in Jesus life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension.

Jesus shows us that we as his disciples can and should invest our resources in the Kingdom of God and by so doing store up for ourselves treasure in heaven that cannot be corrupted or stolen. We must take an honest look at ourselves and see if we are marked by greed or generosity. As Christians we should reflect our God who has richly given us all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).

Jesus gives his disciples instructions on how to fast and visits forgiveness one more time as he closes the so called "Lord's Prayer".

Chris Moran spoke at a men's breakfast in Grove City PA on three major temptations that are common and relevant to every man and how to fight them.

1. Finding or rooting your identity in something other than God.

2. Neglecting the most important relationships in your life.

3. Neglecting the most important relationship in your life.

Though this section of the Lord's prayer is not found in the earliest greek manuscripts it still is consistent with other portions of the scriptures which gives weight to this closing line of the Lord's prayer.

How do we as Christians fight temptation and what's the difference between being tempted and giving into temptation. These questions and more are answered in this section of "The Lord's Prayer".
