Keep It Up

Prayer Series Message #3

October 10, 2021 • Graeme Sellers • Matthew 7:7–11

Give

When Jesus exhorts us to continually ask, seek, and knock, he is not saying to pray harder or better, and maybe then God will be persuaded to act. He’s saying something quite different: “Keep it up. Don’t stop. Keep your prayers short and to the point, and don’t play act or perform. Just keep going after it.”

People Must Know!

December 26, 2021 • Dirk Duhlstine

How good is the Good News? God’s gift for us that we celebrate every December is the greatest gift of all time. Some gifts need to be nurtured, some gifts need to be shared, and some gifts keep on giving. In this year-end message, we explore Christ’s coming, a gift to change the world and our lives.

The Baby Who Threatens the World

December 19, 2021 • Graeme Sellers

The world would have no problem with Jesus if he’d just stay in the manger. That little baby poses no threat unless he gets out, gets loose, grows up, and becomes all he's destined to be. If he is who he says he is, from the very being of God with all attendant authority, he becomes a threat to every established human institution: political, economic, educational, religious. All of them are in jeopardy, for they require an allegiance only he legitimately commands.

Christmas Is What God Is Like

December 12, 2021 • Graeme Sellers

When we read the Christmas story, when we hear it, when we re-enact it in our worship, we are invited into an astonishing revelation of what God is really like. Christmas shows us what God is like—just as he trusted Joseph and Mary with his well-being, we can trust him with ours. Our lives, our fate, are safe with him. This is who God is—like his earthly parents, there’s nothing He won’t do, no part of Himself he won’t spend to care for us.
