“We Have the Holy Spirit: Marked by the Holy Spirit” John 16:4-15
This week we begin a new series that we’re just calling, “We Have the Holy Spirit.” We moved from praying, from asking for the Holy Spirit as Jesus talked about it in Luke 11:13 to the Holy Spirit living in us as it is defined in John 14,15 and 16. If you are in Christ,...

“The Gift of Prayer: The Holy Spirit, the Answer to Our Prayers” John 14:15-18
We’ve been talking for the last couple of months about prayer. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Abie Kulynych answers this very important question, “Have you ever wondered what the outcome of prayer is?” We pray a lot of prayers and there are a lot of things that we don’t see through to the end. We...

“The Gift of Prayer: He Gives Us Each Other,” Luke 11:1-13
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...
