In our text, Jesus does not say, “If you pray...”, but “When you pray”. His teaching on how to pray effectively is based on the assumption that we spend time with Him in prayer. Surely, we may come up with many good excuses to avoid praying and say to ourselves “God understands!” However, the truth is that Jesus expects us to pray.…

When was the last time you stopped to consider how it is you got to this point? Sometimes we find ourselves doing things because we have done them rather than because it is actually something God has asked us to do. It happens that sometimes the very efforts we give and structures we build in our church communities become a hurdle and a hindrance t…

To “lose our life to gain it” is the eternal Christian paradox. Our human nature struggles to rationalize this, and reasons to think that if we let go of our lives, we will surely lose them. Yet, if we want to follow Jesus, we must do it. This is, therefore, a call for faith, both in the overall sense as a commitment to God, and on a daily basis, a…

The word, "Godspeed”, is an antiquated term that means to be prosperous. As the year comes to an end would you consider 2019 a year of prosperity? How would you measure that prosperity? Taking a look at 3 John we see two characters emerge that we can use to evaluate our lives by, are me more like Gaius or Diotrephes? How will we walk in the year to…

The spiritual battle is a heart battle. Be aware, there are evil powers trying to attack our hearts. A heart cannot remain neutral. You either come to Christ and be protected, or you will scatter and go away from Him. There is no neutrality. Jesus wants us to understand something very important: if you are not with Him completely, then you are agai…

God expects those who follow Jesus to look more and more like him from the inside out. When a person is given new life in Jesus, that person has taken the first step toward a lifetime of change, which at times can seem pretty painful.

Why would Jesus, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, ride humbly into Jerusalem on a donkey and then take a whip and chase the vendors from the Temple Courtyard? What kind of king is this?Rev. Allan Hack (14/04/2019) által

We often consider our kids and think, it isn't hard to see where they get their looks, attitudes, and characteristics from.
