Eight weeks ago we started this series on Luke 11 and we started by talking about the “we” of prayer. You see, prayer is not just a gift that has been given to each of us, it is a gift that has been given to all of us. It is not just something that we...

“The Gift of Prayer: What Are We Asking For?,” Luke 11:13
Last week pastor Abie Kulynych taught us that, “God gives us Himself.” This truth is predominant in today’s message. God created us to be in fellowship with Him and redemption is all about restoring that fellowship. We have a tendency to make salvation about sin. We talk about being sinners and then being saved. We...

“The Gift of Prayer: He Gives Himself,” Luke 11:5-13
For the last five weeks, we’ve been talking about Luke’s account of the teaching of the Lord’s Prayer. We’ve seen that prayer was not just something Jesus taught, but it was something that he modeled. He didn’t talk about prayer as much as he allowed himself to be seen and heard praying. We talk about...

“The Gift of Prayer: Lead Us Not Into Temptation,” Luke 11:1-4
Have you noticed that the prayer Jesus taught the disciples to pray seems like it focuses on things that we don’t often focus on? I think that was the thing that made Jesus’ prayer so different. I think that might be what it was that caused one of his disciples to ask him, “Lord teach...

“The Gift of Prayer: We Also Forgive,” Luke 11:1-4
When the Son is interceding and the Spirit is interceding and the Father is leading, it is always one topic, one direction, one focus, our salvation and redemption, our transformation and reconciliation and restoration. God is talking about saving us. When we talk to God, we’re talking about not just the work we need Him...

CORF UPDATE #70 | AUGUST 06, 2021
Good afternoon CORF, “Do we understand how greatly we’ve been forgiven? Let the forgiven be forgiving” Last week, God blessed us with his word through Jonathan. What a challenging and encouraging message,“Heart of the Father, Reconciliation”! We encourage you to spend some time this weekend and preferably before our service to listen to it again...

“Heart of the Father, Reconciliation,” Micah 7:18-20
We can talk about the multiple ways the culture is battling against us. The list is near-end. What is vital is this, we should always ask ourselves these questions, our conversations about those we disagree with are salvation-focused or fear-based? Our conversations, commentaries, pushbacks, are they born out of love and redemption because that is...

“The Gift of Prayer: Your Kingdom Come,” Luke 11:1-4
This is our third week talking about “The We of Prayer,” “The Gift of Prayer,” really using the Lord’s Prayer as it is taught in Luke 11 as our guide. As we’ve been talking about, this is not just Jesus telling us what we should say in prayer. It is not a prayer that we...
