There is nothing more important than belief. What we believe, we live, and how we live reveals what we believe. Belief must encompass our minds, our hearts, and lives- everything or else it doesn’t change us. And if our beliefs don’t change us then they are not actually beliefs. It is more than knowledge. It...

Last week we spoke about how God uses our trouble to increase our faith. In our text, Jesus is still at the table with the disciples and He had just told Peter that he would deny Him. When Jesus said “Let your heart not be troubled” it was not about what the disciples were going...

The reality is that when trouble comes, questions arise within us. What did we do wrong? Can we change it? Is God even present? In our text Jesus is preparing the apostles for His death and what we see is that the apostles’ greatest trouble, was God’s desire. If trouble is a given, and God...

We need to keep listening. Sometimes we tend to just focus on one part of what has been said because of how it makes us feel or because of our lack of understanding. In our text today we see that Peter misses the command to love each other because he was stuck on Jesus saying...

Our text today is usually focused on Judas and stirs up many questions, but today I want us to focus on Jesus. What can Judas’ betrayal teach us about the heart of God? The purpose of Scripture is to reveal the character of God. This text reveals to us the love and dedication Jesus had...

He asks questions for revelation not for information. Today’s text asks the question, do we know what He has done for us? This morning I...

Two weeks ago, we spoke about how when Jesus references “the hour” He is speaking about the cross. When Jesus knew His hour had come, when it was time to die for us, He set His eyes on His love for us. In His darkest hour He turned His attention on others, not Himself. How...

This Sunday we had the pleasure of having our good friend, Joanne DiLeo, as our speaker. Joanne leads worship and brings the Word every Thursday night at the Beverly Presbyterian Praise and Worship service which begins at 7:00pm. Please take some time to listen to her sermon and if you are free on Thursday night,...

Everything comes down to belief. John tells us that we have not heard everything about the works of Jesus, but that everything that has been written is for the purpose of belief. Are we willing to believe? Are we ready to believe? Is Jesus enough? Belief is a choice and decision we must make. Belief...

What does it mean to glorify God? What Jesus wanted more than a release of His grief was to be used for God’s glory. Glory is when we sacrifice everything to God even the things we did not want to face. Our desire for God’s glory must be great than our desire for a change...
