While we all know we ought to pray, we often aren’t really sure how to do so effectively. Jesus provides a simple guide for his disciples to understand how they ought to pray, and it would be wise for us to learn it and then do it! Luke 11:1-13

Everyone experiences discouragement, but those who are in Christ should always take heart because the Lord has provided for us a straightforward remedy: diligent, heartfelt prayer.  Luke 18:1-14

Jesus teaches this parable to reveal that true disciples will continually live in obedience to serving what God has entrusted to them for the Kingdom until He returns. Matthew 25:14-30.

While many people claim to be Christians, far fewer can actually define what that means or how they can really know if they are. Fortunately, Jesus describes with precision what it means to know him, i.e., to be a Christian, and it’d be wise to listen and heed his words. Matthew 7:21-29.

Your greatest need is to recognize your need for God’s forgiveness and to experience his forgiveness! When someone experiences the freedom of being forgiven, it can and will lead to a profound and lasting change in their life. Luke 7:35-50

When we look around, we can get disheartened, discouraged, angry, and even confused. It is only when we look up that we’ll be able to see the truth and find the hope we’re looking for in the midst of hardship and discouragement. 1 Peter 1:3-12

Jesus makes it clear what the cost of discipleship is. And this morning as we look at who this call is to, what it prohibits, and what it demands we see the great calling that it is to be a disciple of Christ. Luke 14:25-35.

Jesus is the one and only invaluable treasure on this earth. It’s not that there aren’t other valuable things in this world; it’s that in comparison to Jesus and what he gives us, nothing is even remotely as valuable as he is.  Matthew 13:44-46

Every believer is called and enabled to influence the world for Christ. The question is never: are you called or able to influence others? The question is simply will you seek to? Matthew 13:24-33

Naturally, we struggle to comprehend the depth of our sinfulness and the greatness of the love and mercy of our God. This parable presents both in shocking fashion as Jesus tells a story of two radically sinful sons and their Father whose love is that much more extravagant. Luke 15:11-32
