One of the regular practices of Jesus in the Gospels was to spend time alone with the Father offering up his desires in prayer, and this is something that we need to learn to incorporate in our Christian lives.
We are here to love God and our neighbors by making disciples for King Jesus who make disciples for King Jesus

Sermons on John (Page 5)
Ephesians begins with Paul explaining the Gospel and then it begins to focus in on what it looks like to live as people that have been changed by the Gospel. This week we will explore what Paul means when he encourages believers to live as children of light.
This week we will begin the second chapter of Ephesians by examining the lowly state of our lives in sin so that we might also see more fully what Jesus has done for us.
As we wrap up the series on Ecclesiastes, we step back to see what Solomon identifies as the big problem in life, and the way that Jesus provides an answer in himself.
One of the most important messages from Ecclesiastes is found in chapter nine. This week we are considering how life is not about what we gain, but it is about recognition of the gifts that we have already received.
As Solomon continues to teach on money, he talks about how not being able to enjoy the blessings of life is a great tragedy of our experience under the sun, and he asks questions that help us to look beyond the sun.
This week we are going to begin a study of the book of Ecclesiastes. In this book we will see the pursuit of meaning from the perspective of someone that had a lot of pretty impressive experiences. As Solomon describes the things that he learned in his life, there are valuable lessons for us to learn from him today.
Is a person who never hears the name of Jesus going to be punished because they have not placed faith in Him? Is Jesus really the only path to eternal life? Isn’t it arrogant for Christians to believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong? This week we are going to look at Jesus’ claim in the Gospel of John that new life only comes through him.
Many people, whether a steadfast Christian or an ardent skeptic of the faith, will at some point question the nature of Christ. This week we will be looking at how it is was possible that Jesus was fully human and fully Devine at the same time.
What do you see in the Easter story? Do you see the risen Jesus who has died for your sins and risen from the dead to give you new life? Do you see grief of Mary that was turned to joy because Jesus is alive? Do you see Jesus as the teacher, the one who can show you how to truly live life? Do you see, or better yet, do you hear Jesus calling your name? Put yourself in John’s account of the Jesus’ resurrection and hear Jesus calling you into a new life with Him.
