Following Christ - Ephesians 1:11-14
Paul writes that believers are "sealed with the Holy Spirit". In this message Pastor Brian Lord explores what that means, how it is foundational for understanding the other operations of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and the marvelous guarantee it gives us.

WHY Should I Believe in God in the First Place
WHY Should I Believe in God in the First Place? The sermon is rooted in King Solomon's contemplation about a relationship with God. Our WHY daily readings describe rational arguments for the existence of God, and the sermon opens our hearts to the need for a relationship with our Creator.

When I Am Afraid
Our first response to difficult situations or people can, understandably, be fear. David, writer of many Psalms, wants to teach us the responses that should quickly follow fear. In the process, he leads us away from fear and into the Gospel of the light of life.

Thomas, the Doubter
Thomas is often regarded pityingly as the disciple who fell short of the others, but all he wanted was to have the same evidence as his companions had enjoyed. Thomas is a lot like us. We too are asked to believe without having seen the risen Lord Jesus with our own eyes. We, like Thomas have the testimony of eye witnesses who saw the risen Lord Jesus. Jesus wanted Thomas to believe and He wants us to believe as well. Blessed are those who believe, even though they have not seen. We can rejoice that one day we will see Him.

Freedom Through Faith
As we have seen in recent weeks, Paul’s letter to the church in Rome is an extended explanation of many aspects of freedom which believers in Christ experience through faith. We often assume that we know what faith is, but do we? It certainly involves belief, but it also involves something less tangible yet equally important. Additionally, it involves something more tangible but also vitally important. Because faith involves more than mere belief, its opposite is not merely unbelief, but something experienced by the prophet Elijah (this morning’s reading from the Old Testament book of 1 Kings) and by the apostle Peter (this morning’s reading from the Gospel of Matthew). Our message this morning will touch on all these aspects of the gift of faith.
