These are sermons preached during our Sunday worship services. (Recordings were not always successful, so there are gaps in the postings.)
This text is the third of the applications Jesus makes of the principle that he stated in verse one of chapter six.
This message considers the sixth petition of the model prayer that Jesus gives his disciples. This petition brings us to the acknowledgment of our greatest need and God’s greatest grace towards us.
This sermon continues the theme of forgiveness that was the focus of last Sunday’s sermon on the fifth petition of the Lord’s prayer.
The fifth petition of the model prayer that Jesus gives to his disciples focuses their attention on the important matter of forgiveness.
Bob Hall, pastor for forty-five years with the Bronx Household of Faith, preached this sermon on the theme of “walking in Christ.”
Following the consideration of the theme of abiding in Christ in the first section of chapter fifteen, this sermon focuses on discipleship in the life of the Church.
The theme of abiding in Christ is central to Christian faith and relevant to all of life. Jesus made it a key element of his teaching of his disciples at the Last Supper.
What a blessing it is that our Lord himself has taught us how to pray!
Our text today is the third of the petitions in the model prayer that Jesus gave to his disciples.
The second of the three petitions with which the Lord’s Prayer begins draws our attention to the theme of king and kingdom that is prominent in Matthew’s Gospel.
“Hallowed be thy name” calls us to give our attention to the holiness of God.
Coming to God in prayer is an incredible privilege given by God to his people, and each line of the model prayer given by Jesus to his disciples merits our careful consideration.
Jesus often teaches by using examples of what is not right to underscore what is right, and in this text he uses that method to impress upon us important truths.
This is one of those key passages of Scripture that deserves repeated consideration and study. I appreciate Joshua’s preaching from these verses while Susan and I traveled with friends.
In this verse, Jesus–the greatest of teachers–sets out the foundational imperative that he will explain and illustrate in the following section of his sermon, which continues to have as its theme righteousness.
The book of Daniel ends with a series of prophecies looking forward to the time following the exile leading up to the birth of Christ.
This text sets the stage for the prophecies which are given to Daniel in this last major section of the book–chapters ten through twelve.
This message resumes a series in the book of Daniel that we left off last November.
These verses bring to a climax the first main section of the Sermon on the Mount. Their message is central to the gospel and timeless in its application.
I often think about my own inadequacy to preach on a text from a sermon by the perfect Preacher, our Lord Jesus! Thankfully, the power of his Word does not depend upon the human voice!
