“Why I Believe”
Q: What are MY reasons for belief in God, Father,

The Lord’s Prayer (An outline of today’s message) Two thousand years ago when Peter asked Jesus to teach us to pray the Lord’s Prayer was born.

The readings will be parts of Acts 24, 25 and 26. We are looking at four men, Paul, governors Felix and Festus and King Agrippa. Paul as he so often does is sharing his testimony, we see this especially in Acts 26. He tells of his early life as a persecutor of Christians and how as he traveled from Jerusalem to Damascus to met him, verse 15. There on that road he surrendered his life to God and was transformed from a
Luke 23:33–43 There are moments in life when a single sentence can change everything. A doctor’s diagnosis can change a family’s plans. A judge’s sentence can change one’s future for someone and their family. A word of forgiveness can heal years of pain. A prophetic word can change the course of life.

Acts 4 Peter and John brought the name of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to raise up a man who had been lame his entire life. The reaction of the crowd brought the concern of the temple officials because they didn’t want their authority undermined. Peter and John, who had been jailed the night before, were given opportunity to defend themselves in the highest court in the land. The boldness of the two men was noted. The authorities recognized they had
1Cor 15:9,13 John 20 Our greatest hope is that Jesus is coming again at the Resurrection. Because He was raised from the dead we too will be resurrected either in death or at the time of the Rapture. This sermon follows Mary Magdalene’s journey from sorrow to hope when she encounters the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Mary initially sees only an empty tomb, blinded by grief and unable to recognize Christ’s victory. The empty tomb, framed by two angels, is presented as the fulfillment
These reflections develop on my message on May 31 based on Isaiah’s detailed foretelling about Jesus seven hundred years before His incarnation. The details include his physical appearance, the purpose of his human ministry, and the severity of his punishment, agony, and suffering.

It is estimated that in the year 1900 25% of Canadians were born-again believers, meaning they had placed their faith in Jesus as their personal saviour.
