Sermons About Dependence
The Attitude of Prayer
"The Lord's Prayer" was never intended to be recited over and over without meaning (because the heart is not right). It is a guide of the intensity we HAVE to pray. We have to pray persistant and unrelenting, to the point of being annoying. (from a human standpoint, as God cannot be annoyed) This is what Jesus shows us how to do with "The Lord's Prayer", until God answers our prayer.

Humility - The Fertile Ground for Godly Change
Humility - Andrew Murray says its the place of entire dependence upon God; ...the root of every virtue; Jim Berg says it's the frame of mind...that says I am sinful and need God's mercy and I am insufficient and need God's grace. Either way you slice it, we need it. If we ever hope to experience the grace of God necessary to change for His sake and His glory, we need to follow the example of our Lord and Savior and humble ourselves. God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.

A Word From Heaven
We can trust the authenticity of the Bible because the author is real. We can grow from the testimony of others who have trusted in the Word of God. How does my testimony challenge others to grow? Our life is an encouragement for others to go on and the Word of God we display can shape others. Our personal challenge is to stay faithful to the teachings of scripture. Daily challenge to faithfulness: watch and listen in prayer and refuse to let a day go by without complete dependence on God. Practical purposes of God speaking: we are to be students, we are able to find correction and we are ready to carry out God's program.

What Does Change Look Like?
As believers in Christ, all of us are commanded by God to change, but change into what?

I AM - Becoming Dependent on God Alone
Our culture tells us that dependence is a bad thing - we should strive to care for ourselves and be dependent upon no one. But is that the way God sees it? In Exodus chapter 3 we discover the self-sufficiency of God in His command to Moses to go and free the Hebrew people. In this story we learn that God is dependent upon no one, and therefore we should be dependent upon no one but Him. In this sermon Josh strives to find the principles in the story of Moses and the burning bush to portray or need to be dependent upon God alone.
