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

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 19:11-27 and the Parable of the 10 Minas. We are asked to consider:

Do I miss the heart of the King? Do I see Him as a King who delights to bestow privileges and blessings, or do I view Him more as a "severe man"? Do I delight in rendering service to Him?

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 19:1-10, where Jesus saw Zacchaeus, came to him, knew him by name, and delighted to be in his presence. How will you respond as Jesus sees you, comes to you, knows you, and delights in you? 

Pastor Darrell preached today on Luke 18: 31-43 where we see Jesus, the God who hears us and who heals us. What do you want Jesus to do for you? 

Pastor Darrell preached today on Luke 18:18-30, where we seethe rich ruler has it all---except peace with God. He looked to His own goodness, and he treasured money over the Kingdomof God. We were reminded that grace is God doing what's impossible for us to do for ourselves. Jesus lived the perfect life, our sin was put on Him. He rose from the dead, and God reveals Himself to us. Obtaining eternal life by our own efforts is impossible, but God gives us grace and makes eternal life with Him possible.
