Pray Then Like This: Introduction

Jesus never spoke about prayer as an optional activity for his followers. Rather, he took time to teach them how to pray. It’s for this reason that the Lord’s Prayer is perhaps better understood as The Disciple’s Prayer. This sermon is the first in a series on how Jesus taught us to pray.

Loving Jesus, Serving Others, & Leaving Well

Miracles: Jesus Raises Lazarus to Life (Part II)

Jesus’s raising of Lazarus had a profound impact on John, the writer of the New Testament gospel that carries his own name. John, like Lazarus, knew what it was like to have a deep friendship with Jesus. Christians can often think of Jesus as Lord and Saviour, but he is also friend. The true story of Lazarus being raised shows us the compassion Jesus feels towards his friends who suffer as a result of living in a world broken by sin. And this story also shows us the power of Jesus to do something about it.

Miracles: Jesus Raises Lazarus to Life (Part I)

The name Lazarus is synonymous with resurrection, but there’s much more happening in this true story than a dead man being raised to life. Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, are presented as two women who trust Jesus, and Mary in particular is shown as one who has a profound appreciation and understanding of Jesus’s glory.

Miracles: Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son

As Jesus is passing through the city of Nain, he comes across a funeral procession on their way to bury the son of a widow. Jesus, instead of just passing through; is filled with compassion for the widow and then raises her son to life. This same Jesus is filled with compassion for you, and he is willing to show his immeasurable power in your life.

Miracles: Mercy for Believers with Unbelief

In Mark 9, Jesus heals a boy who has an unclean spirit inside of him. That's no small miracle in itself, but there's another amazing miracle displayed in this story; the mercy Jesus shows to the boy's father who cries out, "I believe; help my unbelief!" Christians are saved by grace through faith, but faith doesn't mean there are no more questions. There's mercy for believers who cry out to Jesus for help with their unbelief.

Miracles: The Woman at the Well

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well has many features that can be lost of on us, including just how despised Samaritans were by the Jews of Jesus’s day. With this in mind, the fact that Jesus chose to go through Samaria to for a divine conversation with the woman at the well is nothing less than a miracle itself, as is Jesus’s knowledge of key details in the woman’s life. She went to the well to gather water, Jesus went there to transform her life.

Births and Birthright

Neville Jones walks us through the story of Esau giving up his birthright over a bowl of soup. It seems like a bizarre story, but one that leads us to contemplate the way we as followers of Jesus are called to make decisions; based on knowing Jesus for who he is and seeing him in his Glory rather than giving in to our often misplaced desires.

Miracles: The Cursing of The Fig Tree

The miracle of Jesus cursing the fig tree is seen by many to be obscure. Why would Jesus - our perfect, loving Saviour curse rather than bless? Could Jesus have been using this miracle as a real-time parable to teach us about fruitfulness?

Find out as Francis Holtken takes us through this fascinating passage revealing to us the unseen depths of this miracle.
