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

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 9:46-48 as he encourages us to consider that we often grasp for worldly things instead of gospel things. What are those things we should grasp? We should grasp our weakness and sinfulness and Jesus Christ, the One who grasps ahold of us. We should remember that Jesus once grasped onto a cross, He refused to grasp that which He deserved, and He instead chose to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 9:37-45 where we see Jesus help the man who is desperate for his son to be delivered from a demon. The man shows his trust in Jesus by begging Him for help. Jesus shows His compassion by healing the son. Be encouraged to trust Jesus in all things.

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 9:28-36 and encourages us to listen to Jesus, the Father's Son, the Chosen One, and the Way to the Father.

Pastor Darrell preaches on Psalm 136, where we are reminded that the steadfast love of the Lord endures forever. Because of that, we are to give thanks.

Pastor Darrell reminds us of the scriptural truths of God's love for us in Christ. Be encouraged to worship Him this Christmas and always.

We are told in Micah 5:2, 4-5 that Jesus is our peace. This is possible because He was and is our faithful covenant head. Because of His faithfulness, we need never fear facing God's judgment if we are trusting in Him.

What is your heart most set on this Christmas? What are you most hoping for? Pastor Darrell shows us through Psalm 130 that our most sure hope is in Christ.

Pastor Darrell encouraged us today with God's Word from Luke 9:23-27. In this passage, the Lord says that whoever loses his life for His sake will actually save it. Just as the Lord laid down His life to save ours, we are called to lay down our own fleshly desires and the things of this world to follow where the Lord leads us and to do what He commands.

In our passage today, Jesus asks the most important question that will be asked of every one of us, "Who do you say that I am?" Luke 9:18-20 reveals that Jesus is God's Messiah.

David Barnes, guest preacher and Reformed University Fellowship Mizzou pastor encouraged us with God's Word from Matthew 5:13-16. In this passage, the Lord declares that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But how are we to do this? We do this as we live out of who we are and as we live for whose we are.
