My Religious Life, Part 2
Matthew 6:1-4 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

How does your relationship with the Lord affect how you give to others, talk with the Lord, and deny yourself? Jesus addresses these issues beginning in the 6th chapter of Matthew. It is convicting that for many in the Christian faith, these practices are absent or rare. This week, “How do you pray?”

How does your relationship with the Lord affect how you give to others, talk with the Lord, and deny yourself? Jesus addresses these issues beginning in the 6th chapter of Matthew. It is convicting that for many in the Christian faith, these practices are absent or rare. What does this say about our religious lives?

Giving Love
1 John 4:19; John 13:34 – Pastor Mark Barnhill
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

We love because he first loved us. John 13:34 – “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” A lot has been written and sung about love. Love energizes, encourages, strengthens, and never fails. How do you define love? How do you feel loved and give love?

Winter of the Soul
Job – Pastor Hugh Poland
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

You may be able to relocate to a part of the world where you can avoid cold weather, but there is no place you can move to escape spiritual winter. When your heart is cold toward Christ, when your prayers bounce back off the ceiling at you, and you can’t find God, why continue to hold on to Him?

Love Who?
Matthew 5:43-48 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

It is easy to love those who have been good to you and to hate those who have done you wrong, but as Jesus expressed, that is the natural man. Followers of Christ are to love our enemies, which is tough. Today, we are looking at this command given to us by Christ. Get ready to be challenged.

Revenge, It’s Too Cold
Matthew 5:38-42 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

It has been said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Jesus makes it clear revenge should not even be prepared, much less served. This morning’s passage is another example of Jesus correcting how God’s word was misused by teachers of the law, and unfortunately, it is still happening today.
