Our church goes away for a weekend once a year. This year we thought about prayer. Almost everyone prays at some point in their life, whether it’s a regular pattern or a desperate last resort.
What does Christian prayer look like?
What does it mean to pray to the God who loves us, in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in fellowship in the Holy Spirit, and to pray desperately for the things God loves.
Does God value strength like our world values strength? God saves through weakness so the glory goes to Him, & so the world’s values are torn down.
God saved us to serve his church & gave us gifts to do it with, so gladly serve Jesus & others at Salt Church with your time, energy & money.
We’ve been saved to worship / serve God in all of life, so serve him in our many & different spheres of your life.
Our God serves us to save us from selfishness, so as we serve we’re being truly human & like God.
Thomas is a 'seeing is believing' guy, and when he sees Jesus he believes not only that Jesus is alive but that he is life - the Christ & Son…
Lots of things make Christians & non-Christians feel like it's reasonable to hold God/Jesus at arm’s length. In fact it’s only reasonable to embrace Jesus because He is your King…
In a merit-based-world, what do we have to do to do enough for God? Humbly ask God for mercy & then live an unmerited new life.
We may place our expectations on God but it's important to know he has expectations for us.
