God’s presence in our day-to-day life reshapes the way we see reality, it forms us into invitational people, and it helps us live self-sacrificially. What does presence with God mean? You are with me always (Psalm 23) What does presence with others mean? How does this overwhelming presence affect us each day? It redefines our reality: From darkness to Light (John 8) Put off your old self (Ephesians 4) It dramatically affected His disciples It is invitational to all others and is non-compromising: Come to me all you who

The Presence of God in our Midst Malcolm Ross offered today a remarkable journey through the Bible with an overview of Jesus presence with the Old Covenant, his time on earth, and when he will return again. The core of the message is that God is with us always as Jesus promised, and now in each of our lives through the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is for us to proclaim that presence in all our interactions. You had to be there this

What happens when protecting our reputation becomes more important than pleasing God? Scripture warns that the fear of man can become a powerful snare, leading us to hide, compromise, and even maintain an outward appearance of godliness while our hearts are drifting in another direction. This message explores the danger of living a “double life,” the subtle pull of self-love and the desire for human approval, and the devastating consequences of choosing image over integrity. But there is a better

Reading: Romans 1:1-17 Text verse 16:  “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” The Person of the Gospel – Jesus: Son of God, Son of man, Sinless one Sacrificed for our sins   The Purpose of the Gospel – Salvation: Forgiveness, Peace with God, Hope for eternity   The Power of the Gospel – dunamis of God: Creator, Omnipotent one, Sovereign King   The Provision of the Gospel – “to everyone who believes”

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 focus today is on Jesus’ inclusion of forgiveness in his response to Peter. Forgive us our sins (trespasses, debts, transgressions) To ask for forgiveness requires several understandings: -admission of our guilt -remorse over sin -resolve to reject that sin -humility before God 2 Samuel 12:13           -David admits and realizes his sin is against the Lord See also Psalm 51:1-4 John 5:24                     -Faith overthrows

  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. But on the cross, that day, Jesus speaks a sentence that changes all of eternity for all of us: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Point 1 –
