What will life be like in Heaven? Jesus answers questions about marriage and heaven in Mark 12:18-27.
God has given you a patch of His vineyard to steward. Are you willing to give it back to the rightful Owner?
With so many competing voices and conflicting reports, it's good to know the One who has real authority.
But the point is often the real reason people don’t trust God is because they’re mad at Him. And not just unbelievers.
Last week, we saw a worship leader Asaph’s faith starting to slide.
Is that you this morning? Do you say, “I’m just not growing spiritually. I come to worship, and nothing happens. I open my Bible and I’m dry. Sometimes I envy unbelievers.”
This week we want to see how even if you’re slipping spiritually, you can find stable ground, you can have a good ending. So how do you do that?
Have you experienced that terrible feeling of slipping? As as a 20-year-old, I was sore for just a day or so. The older we get the harder it is to recover.
But Psalm 73 is written for a believer who feels like they’re slipping spiritually.
Do you pray with power?
The coronavirus has shown me that I have a knee problem.
Has the way the world has turned upside down because of this pandemic, shown you how desperately you need the Lord? How desperately you need to be on your knees? How desperately you need God’s power in prayer?
I heard a pastor say recently, that for him, prayer is harder than Bible study or evangelism. Because you don’t always see immediate results. People don’t come up and thank you for insights from the Word or for sharing your faith.
But spending hours in prayer can feel like an exercise in futility.
