So which is it - trespasses or debts when I say the Lord's prayer? Today we actually find out! And we take a journery through the world religions and find ourselves standing at the cross....

With this line Jesus creates a prayer that spans from the holiness of an almighty God to the earthyness of my kitchen table. Within this phrase is the gateway to a life of simplicity and dependance - a life present to the present rather than our anxious thoughts. Deuteronmy 8:6-18, James 2:14-17 to find out how the hungry of the world, the good things of life, and the love of God come together in this amazing prayer

Are the things we see happening in the world actually God's will? If not, why doesnt he do something about them? What is God's will for my life? Can we really know God's will? We take soundings in the deep waters of God's word to find some answers: Ezekiel 33:10-11, John 6:35-39, Luke 22:18-20,41-44, Matthew 5:43-45

What does Jesus mean when he says "The Kingdom of God is at hand", or when he prays "Thy Kingdom Come?" Has it already come, or is it to come? Will there be a rapture? What is the Kingdom of God anyway ? Strangely enough, abandoned swimming pools and a bombed out church from world war II give us a clue...

Why does Jesus include the strange phrase "Hallowed by thy name" in his prayer? This phrase turns out to be even wilder than what first meets the eye. Join us on this journey into the Holiness of God! We look at the second line of the Lords Prayer in light of Psalm 90.

Is it possible that the Lord's Prayer is so familar, we have become so comfortable with it that we have forgotten how powerful and how dangerous it is? This prayer will change the way we look at everything. The very first line of this prayer is a declaration that Jesus is right and Nietzsche is wrong about the biggest question of our lives.

Should you feel guilty about buying that thing you have been thinking about - or is material prosperity a sign of God's blessing ? How should a Christian think about Money ? We tend to view our spiritual life and our finances as unrelated, but it turns out they are surprisingly connected. Deuteronomy 8:11-18 and 1st Timothy 6:7-19 put side by side give us a great biblical foundation for understanding money and wealth

What are we to make of THE PRAYER OF JABEZ? Some folks think it has worked magic in their lives and others think it represents everything that is wrong with American Religion. Beneath all the debate lies the prayer itself. When understood in the context of the full witness of scripture, it offers us a profound resource for our prayer life and our journey with God.

When we beat a friend in hoops or a video game we love to say Who s your Daddy! But that phrase takes on a whole new meaning when we look at the only person who had the right to say that to the entire human race... but chose instead to stoop down and washed our feet... Today we turn from Prince Caspian to look at John 12:31-50 and the amazing words of Jesus as he faced the toughest substance on earth - hardened hearts. This early summer sermon ends in a most surprising way!

In the poster for the movie Prince Caspian, why is he holding both Susan's horn and a sword? What does it mean to put on the full armor of God? There comes a time when each of us must take a stand and decide whose side we are one. The ancient church and Prince Caspian show us how to stand against the world, the flesh, and the devil by looking at Ephesians 6:11-18.
