Tabernacle Baptist Church

Do you feel like you are being pressed from all sides? Do you feel like the wheels of life are spinning out of control? Maybe God wants you to spin. Maybe God is trying to get your attention. Try trusting in His plan and let the King of the Universe guide your steps.

Psalm 23 / February 4th, 2018 / Todd Gray ** Psalm 23 is a beautiful song to God where David describes how he follows God as the Good Shepherd and trusts Him as the eternal father. Even though this psalm was written thousands of years ago, we can pray the same prayer today.

Matthew 6 / January 28th, 2018 / Todd Gray

Life can sometimes feel like we are stumbling through a dark minefield. Although prayer won’t always take those mines away, it will become a light to help us navigate through our circumstances.

Matthew 6 / January 21st, 2018 / Todd Gray

Just like we all have physical needs, we have spiritual needs. Prayer is our spiritual supply line to God. If we have a strong supply line through prayer, we have a stronger relationship with God. This week, Pastor Todd talks about the importance of having our needs met and how forgiving others can have a huge impact on your life.

Matthew 6 / January 14th, 2018 / Todd Gray

Many of us have the “Lord’s Prayer” memorized, but we sometimes get confused or forget what we’re actually praying. Praying God’s will on Earth means asking God to unleash His desires upon our lives. When He does reveal His will, we then need to pray for the courage to carry it out.

1. God is Personal, Powerful and Worthy of Praise (Matthew 6:9)

2. Pray God’s Will to Be Done (Matt 6:10)

Matthew 6 / January 7th, 2018 / Todd Gray

Prayer, in general, or praying with consistency is something that most people have struggled with in their life. We often let the fear of failure in prayer stop us from ever starting. As long as we view prayer as simply a way to ask things of God, we’ll struggle. Matthew 6 helps reframe the purpose of prayer for us. When we understand the purpose of prayer is building a relationship, it gets much easier.

John 17 / December 31st, 2017 / Todd Gray *Have you ever struggled with knowing how to pray? John 17 gives an example of Jesus showing his disciples how to pray. His example includes giving God glory, praying for His Church, Unity among believers, balance with the world, and for victory. This message is not officially part of the Prayer Series but is serving as an introduction message.

John 16:25-33 / December 24th, 2017 / Todd Gray ** The world tells you that you’ll never be free. That the trials and addictions are too much. If this is what you believe, then be encouraged. Jesus overcame the world. He can restore any relationship in your life. Think about it. If Jesus reconciled the whole planet, then He can restore any broken thing in any relationship in your life, if you would believe it. This is why Christmas is so amazing..because Jesus has overcome the world and so can you, in Him.

John 16:16-24 / December 17th, 2017 / Todd Gray

The joy that comes from gifts is temporary. The new PlayStation 4 Pro will be replaced. The toy will break, the phone screen might shatter, but the joy that comes from Christ is eternal and never-changing.

John 15, 16 / December 10th, 2017 / Todd Gray

Although we don’t always give the Holy Spirit a ton of attention in Baptist Churches, He is crucial to how we follow Christ. At Christmas we celebrate the gift of God becoming man, but in the Holy Spirit, we celebrate God living in man. It is the power of the Holy Spirit that saves your soul, not your eloquence or great intelligence.
