God's Truth, God's Grace - New Port Presbyterian Church

Do your eyes see Jesus for who He is and receive the light that He gives? Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 11:33-36 reminding us that Jesus is the light that enables us to see.

In today's sermon on Luke 11:14-32, we see how Jesus restores proper functioning and human flourishing as He frees the man from what held him captive. From what do you need Jesus to deliver you? Be encouraged to worship Jesus, the only one who can save us to the uttermost, to trust that He is stronger, greater, and more powerful than Satan or our enemies, and to live in dependence upon the strong Spirit of Christ at work in us. 

Pastor Darrell encourages us from Luke 11:5-13, as God's children, to continue boldly asking, seeking, and knocking because our gracious, heavenly Father promises to receive, find, and open.

Pastor Darrell continues to preach through the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11. As we consider Luke 11:4, we are reminded that as forgiven sinners, we are called to be Christ's ambassadors of forgiveness toward others.

Pastor Darrell continues to preach on the Lord's Prayer. This week we look at Luke 11: 1-4 and what it means when we pray, "Thy Kingdom Come."

Pastor Darrell continues to preach through the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11. When we pray, "Hallowed be Your name," we're not so much declaring a fact, but making a request to the Lord. We are asking God to reveal His glory to the world, to us, in us, and through us to others.

That God is our Father is the basis for prayer. That God is our Father is the basis for all of the Christian life! Do you truly, most often live in the reality of being a blessed child of God? Or do you, too often, live as if you were a “spiritual orphan”? Pastor Darrell leads us to consider these things as we look at the beginning of the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11:1-4.

Pastor Darrell presents to us that because Jesus has ascended back to the Father, He: rules over all things, rules over and provides for His Church, pours out His Spirit, sympathizes with us, gives us mercy and grace in our time of need, interceeds for us, saves to the uttermost, keeps us from stumbling to present us blameless, and does far more abundantly than all that we can ask or think, according to the power at work within us.
