Nehemiah 1:5-11; Matthew 6:5-8 April 29, 2018 • Download this sermon (PDF) Dear Congregation of Christ: The Christian media is full of books, articles and quotes about prayers. I will mention a couple of quotes: First, “Do you realize that movements on earth govern movements in heaven? Do you realize that a child of God in prayer affects decisions in heaven? We must depend on His Word, pray the promises of God, and then watch what happens. The Word spoken through your lips releases angels.” This is one of…

Pastoral Prayer Based on Our Lord’s Prayer

July 26, 2015July 26, 2015 bigspringschurchHeidelberg Catechism, Lord's Prayer, pastoral prayer, worship service

Today, I used the Lord’s Prayer as a pattern of the long prayer in our worship service. The Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 116 gives us a summary of why prayer is necessary for Christians: Q. Why is prayer necessary for Christians? A. Because it is the chief part of thankfulness which God requires of us, and because God will give His grace and Holy Spirit only to those who earnestly and without ceasing ask them of Him, and render thanks unto Him for them. And this is the prayer that our Lord Jesus…

We are a group of believers that Christ has called out of the world and joined together so that we might worship and serve Him. We sincerely strive to be a church that is faithful to God’s Word, filled with the Holy Spirit and living in obedience to Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, inerrant and infallible in its entirety, unchanging, and God’s revelation of Himself.

The great ancient ecumenical creeds – Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, Definition of Chalcedon – are excellent statements of faith regarding the Holy Trinity, Christ, and the essential Christian Gospel. We confess and believe all that is taught in the Old and New Testaments, the inspired, inerrant, infallible, sufficient and authoritative word of God. We are committed to the whole of Scripture, and to the systematic exposition of biblical truth known as the Reformed faith. In addition to the Three Forms of Unity (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession of Faith,…

“What is the Reformed Faith?”

By Dr. Michael S. Horton © 1993 Modern Reformation Magazine How do I go to God?”, someone asked the Scottish Presbyterian, Horatius Bonar.

John Calvin (1507-64) was a Frenchman who, through his own study of the Scriptures and reading the tracts of Luther and other older Reformers,…
