Unceasing Prayer

May 31st, 2023|First Things First|

Prayer is what fuels the Christian spiritual life. Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer as a template for how we ought to pray, and he himself modelled a life of constant, intimate prayer to his father. Similarly, we too are to pray without ceasing because this is what renews our minds, keeps us in God’s will, and protects us from falling to temptation. God loves and blesses the Christ-follower who prayerfully depends on him!

Unashamed Adoration P2

May 30th, 2023|First Things First|

What does is mean to worship God? We can do this through song and praise, but real worship encompasses so much more! At conversion, God gives the new believer a regenerated spiritual heart, purposed to worship the Lord. A heart that is genuinely grateful for all God has done for us cannot help but adore him with authentic love and devotion. In this message, we examine the marks of true worship in the life of the believer.

Stinkin’ Thinkin’

May 28th, 2023|Psalm 73: It's the Thought that Counts!|

Today we consider how the way we think impacts the way we live. When our thoughts are consumed by worldly influences, the result is a life that is distracted, unsatisfied and filled with despair. Conversely, when our thoughts are firmly set on the Lord, the result is a life that is filled with gratitude, wisdom and clarity. Romans 12:2 warns us not to be conformed to the world, but instead to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. In Psalm 73, Asaph recalls when his negative thoughts caused him to stumble and then distanced him from God – the battle in his mind led to a battle in his heart and eventually, despair.

Unapologetic Proclamation P2

May 26th, 2023|First Things First|

We learned in the previous message in this series that the faithful church will always hold fast to the unequivocal authority of the word. Because this is true, then the preaching of God’s word it our unconditional calling in the church. In 2 Timothy, we find Paul nearing the end of his life and knowing this, he urgently issues the charge to his young mentee to ‘preach the word’ – above all else – and without apology. It is not an easy road, yet there is no higher calling or greater expression of love than to faithfully preach God’s word – a light in the darkness and a hope for the hopeless!
