Matthew 6:9-13 ~ How to Pray: Deliver Us

/in , /by

Text: Matthew 6:9-13

Title: How to Pray: Deliver Us

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Does prayer work? What can we expect from prayer? How do we pray anyway? Have you ever wondered why the disciples never asked Jesus how to preach or perform miracles – and all they asked Him was how to pray? Prayer gives us access to the very throne room of God. In prayer, we are shaped by the Holy Spirit. In prayer, we talk directly with the King of the Universe. Over the next several weeks, we will consider how Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord’s Prayer. In this final week of our study of the Lord’s Prayer, we consider the last request: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Title: Faith and Work

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

We spend a lot of our lives working, thinking about work, and dreaming of not having to work. Sometimes work can feel like a joy and delight, while others times it can feel like a burden and a never ending treadmill. If we are going to spend so much of our lives working, it seems worth considering what God says about work and how to live not only at home and church, but also at work, for God. On this Labor Day weekend, we consider our faith and our work in light of the gospel.

Title: Calling

Preacher: Mr. Jeremy Zoet

We hear from Pastor Jeremy about the youth mission trips in Holland, MI and Philadelphia, PA this summer. As we hear stories of how God was at work, as we hear what the students were passionate about, you are encouraged to think about what you are passionate about. How might these passions lead to a calling from God? How might Moses’ passions in the beginning of the book of Exodus have lead to his calling from God?
