How to grow in your faith - Confession

1/5/2025

Confession is uncomfortable because it requires a big dose of humility. It is so powerful though. If you are stuck repeating the same sins over and over, try confessing your sin to a mature, trusted person. It can help you to resist the temptation in future because someone else knows.

These verses make me feel uncomfortable because they remind me that lots of people haven't encountered Jesus and don't know him as their Lord and Saviour. It reminds me to share the love and Good News about Jesus with them.

Sermon on the Mount: Treat Others

8/4/2025

This verse sums up how God wants us to live really simply. It's important to note that it Jesus didn't say to treat others how they treat you, but to treat them how you want to be treated. If you don't want to be yelled at, then don't at others. If you want people to be patient with you, then you should be patient with others. It's not rocket science.

Sermon on the Mount: Ask, Seek, Knock

Matthew 7:7-11 says, "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

Here are some more Bible verses about asking:

James 4:2b-3 says, "You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it. And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures." Are you asking for things with the right motives? Are you asking for things for selfish gain, or to bless others?"

1 John 5:14-15 says, "We have courage in God's presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will. He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from him."
