We are locked in a spiritual battle. There are forces of good and evil waging war all around us - and we are caught in the fray.

In Matthew 18 Jesus shares one of the most terrifying truths of all Scripture. After describing a servant who is sent to prison for all eternity, Jesus says: "So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”You cannot escape this life without experiencing hurt in relationships. How will we find the strength to forgive those who have caused us pain?Listen as Pastor Kevin unpacks the "Parable of the Unmerciful Servant" - to point us to...

It might get used (in common language) to describe someone self-righteous: "holier than thou."So what are asking for in the Lord's Prayer when we ask God's name to be "hallowed" or "kept holy"?In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the 1st petition of the Lord's Prayer by looking at the meaning of "holiness" in the Scriptures.
