Running Pastor

As we begin our new sermon series going through the book of Acts we look at 1:1-5 to see the connection to the Gospel of Luke, the continuity of Jesus' mission, and how desperately we need God to do all that we do!

Before observing the Lord's Supper together we look at John 6 to be reminded that Jesus is truly the Bread of life, and the only way to get to heaven!

As we finish up Matthew 6 we see Jesus wrapping things up by pointing out how our minds shouldn't be back and forth between the worries of this world and focusing on God, but should maintain Him as our sole priority.

In Matthew 6:19-24 Christ calls us to treasure the eternal things of heaven rather than the temporary things of this earth. This is a fairly simple message, with very difficult application, and eternity-reaching implications!

What does it mean to fast, how can we fast improperly, and how can we fast properly? These are all questions that are answered in Matthew 6:16-18.

As we look deeply at Matthew 6:5-15 we see Jesus showing us how not to pray and how to pray and I think it calls us to deeply study how we have been praying and how we could pray more properly.

As we look at Matthew 6:1-4 we see some principles for giving in a way that honors God and why that is important for His children

In Isaiah 11 we see several of the beautiful promises that come along with the Messiah, but we also see that Jesus (The Messiah) will eventually usher in an eternal kingdom that wont have any of the effects of sin!

As we continue to look at Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in Jesus we see the promises of Micah 5:1-5 that show that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem and would bring security and peace to His people!
