Jesus finishes his instructions on prayer with an encouragement that God answers prayer. He is a kind, merciful, and gracious Father who will not without the best gifts from his children. Specifically, he will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. This message explores what that is as an encouragement to all of us to pray earnestly every day.

This is the fifth and final part of this miniseries on prayer.

In this series on prayer we've seen what we are to pray for and this sermon speaks about how we ought to pray. Jesus calls his disciples to pray with impudence. This sermon explains what that is and urges us to pray in this manner as a means through which God will bountifully answer prayer.

The third in a series on the Lord's Prayer, this message considers what we should ask for ourselves. What we see in the Lord's teaching may surprise us but it directs us to what is good. May this encourage us to commune with the Lord in prayer and ask what is needful for us according to his will.

This sermon begins an examination of the Lord's Prayer. We consider, "Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come." Jesus is teaching us a priority in our prayers that concern God's honor and his kingdom. This is a call for us to be doers and not just hearers of the word.

This is the second sermon in a series on prayer.

This is the first part of a series on prayer. After seeing Jesus in prayer the disciples wanted Jesus to teach them to pray. This sermon seeks to do the same thing: see Jesus in communion with God, in submission to the Father, and offering effectual prayers. Here is a call for us to ask the Lord to teach us to pray and commune with our heavenly Father.

There are many good things we can give ourselves to. Jesus' teaching in this passage is a challenge for us to make sure we're doing the best thing. We want to do what is excellent, what is great, what is best. Christ is the best and our highest pursuit and so we consider why this is and what this means.

Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan to a wise and understanding man who was seeking to justify himself. It is impossible to justify yourself (whether before men or before God) and fulfill the royal law of loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself. In this sermon we examine this important truth in answering, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?"

This sermon examines why assisted suicide is prominent in Canada and continues to gain approval. After examining the ideas underlying medical assistance in dying (MAiD), we consider the truth of God's word. Here is a call to think Christianly about this important social and ethical issue.
