Today we begin a new series of messages, titled The Road to Jerusalem. The series will take us to Easter, and in this series we will study some of the events that took place as Jesus journeyed to Jerusalem, as well as some of the people he encountered along the way. We begin with a […]

As I have mentioned the past few weeks, today’s message is an addendum to the series of four messages about prayer. Although today’s message is not directly about prayer, it addresses one of the biggest theological questions we have, not only about prayer, but about the workings of God in general, and that is, what […]

This morning we conclude our series of messages on prayer, and as we do, I want to remind you that next week’s message, while not specifically about prayer, is an addendum to this series, as it is about healing, which is one of the most common topics of our prayers. That message will be a […]

As we continue our series of message on The Power of Prayer, this week we come to the third in the series – The Most Difficult Prayer. Next week will be our final message in the series on prayer, but I am attaching a fifth message that speaks to one of the most common prayers […]
