First Presbyterian Church of Evanston Sermon of the Week

Rev. Henry Coates

Rev. Henry Coates

Nothing is impossible with God. Human unbelief and stubbornness cannot impede God’s power to do miracles.

Fathers have the wonderful privilege of making good decisions that will impact their family for sometime. Cornelius, from all appearances was a father who made the decision to respond to the vision of God. His obedient response change his life and that of his household.

The doctrine of the Trinity is the beginning, the middle and the end of the Christian message of Salvation. God literally comes to us in three persons so we can be the church together and the church in ministry in the world.

Scripture is full of high, almost impossible demands, which are unattainable without the power of the Spirit. Without the Spirit’s coming the life God calls us to would crush us.

The secret to content is remembering that everything we own is on loan from God.

Contentment is a daily decision one makes about the pressures of one’s wants, wishes and anxieties.

Passing faith on to the next generation is not a given and so must be handled with care and intentionality.

If we really believe in the redeeming and transforming power of God’s presence in a person’s life, then the single greatest gift we can give someone is an explanation of how to be rightly connected to Christ.
