Prayers For Today From Psalms 6. Praying For Politicians

Prayers For Today From Psalms 6. Praying for Politicians Psalm 2 Political policy has spiritual overtones most governments and presidents never think about. The Bible says much about the nations of the world – their origin, their alliances, their political power, their military might, and their ultimate destiny. Interesting that in times of turmoil we always run to God -Warfare drives us to our knees. We are good at killing each other but not so good at making peace. Even th

The Gospel 3. The Gospel's Simplicity

The Gospel 3. The Gospel’s simplicity Key Text: Romans 10:5-13 Intro: We are in week three of the Gospel. A series where we tackle the core reality of our faith. We have seen so far that the Gospel has two equal and eternal enemies; legalism and moralism; people who say I can earn my salvation in what I do for God or I am good enough because of who I am. Both fundamentally miss the core reality of life and undermine the truth of the gospel which is; only in Jesus will I fi

Prayers for Today from Psalms Church Camp 2016 3. Prayer and God's Sovereignty

Prayers for Today from Psalms Church Camp 2015 – 3. Prayer and God’s Sovereignity Psalm 103: 19 – 22 “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.” There are as many reasons not to believe this verse as there are to believe it. This verse teaches a doctrine that many find troublesome-the doctrine of the sovereignty of God. The term “sovereign” refers to a king or a ruler. To be sovereign is to have authority in a particular realm. Sovereignty

Prayers for Today from Psalms Church Camp 2016 1. Prayer and Praise

Prayers For Today From Psalms 2016 Church Camp – 1. Prayer and Praise Psalm 103: 1 – 5 Most of us are better at criticism than at praise. Remember the sad story of the children of Israel complaining against the Lord in the wilderness. After all he had done for them, after the great miracle at the Red Sea, they were griping and complaining and moaning and groaning. God sent manna and they didn’t like it. They missed the good food they had back in Egypt. In Egypt they were slav

Prayers for Today From Psalms Church Camp 2016 2. Prayer and God's Heart

Prayers For Today From Psalms Church Camp 2016 – 2. Prayer and God’s Heart Psalm 103: 6 - 18 “He remembers that we are dust” v. 14 - Have you wondered what God really thinks about you? Our greatest barrier to knowing God better may be how much we know about how much God knows about us. We struggle with God because we feel so bad about ourselves, and if we know the truth about ourselves, think of how much more God knows us! We can’t fool him. Sometimes we don’t want to pray or

Prayers for Today from Psalms 5. Praying for Forgiveness

Prayers For Today From Psalms 5. Praying for Fogiveness Psalm 51 It had been a messy affair. But now things seemed to be going well. Who could fault a king for indulging his fantasies? That’s what kings do. One night you go out for a stroll, you see a beautiful woman, you want her, you send for her, she comes to you. It’s as simple as that. Kings have been doing that sort of thing since the beginning of time. Whatever the king wants, the king gets. That’s why they call him th

The Gospel 2. Past not Progressive

The Gospel 2. Past not Progressive Key Text: Eph 2:1-8 We are in week 2 of our series in the gospel. Last week we looked at the two enemies of the gospel and saw that the gospel essentially is not about us. It is God’s good news of what Christ has done for us on the cross. We saw that because the gospel essentially is about what God has done; man has been left helpless in this; we have nothing but our brokenness to bring to the “equation” of the gospel. In this we saw that th

Truly Living For God

Truly living for God Key Text: Col 3:12-25 The last time I preached we covered the main issue in Christian Spiritual growth is that we have an incorrect understanding of what really causes Christian growth and maturity. Most Christian’s spend their Christian life focused on moral reformation, of fixing our actions, rather on the real power of the Christian faith; which is faith that produces repentance. You can download the previous sermon if you want to look at what we went

The Gospel 1. Not My Gospel

The Gospel 1. It’s not my gospel Luke 7:31-33 Key Text: Luke 7:31-33 So we are starting a new series tonight called the gospel. Now you might be wondering surely a series called the gospel would be not much of a series rather a single event. Not really a series; it would be Jesus died for sinners; right? Well, there is a lot more to it than that and hopefully as we go we will see the true beauty and wonder that is wrapped up in the gospel. Tonight we will deal with our proble
