Sermons From Myers Park Presbyterian Church

Understand why it is impossible to serve two masters, and how Christ can help you distinguish where the wrong master is being served, so you can live a life of true purpose.

Think through the meaning of treasure. The love of earthly treasures has divided families, started wars and keeps our prisons full. What if we learn to treasure what God treasures and value what God values?

Recognize why prayer tools cannot replace simply stopping and resting in the presence of God. How can we “pray without ceasing” when we also have to eat, sleep, work and live?

Focus on how Christ uses giving to allow your spirit to flourish. Gifts given for the right reasons have an unending ripple-effect, elevating the human spirit and inspiring hope.

Realize why the word law is not a term of oppression, but a life-giving force. Jesus came to write on our hearts, not on tablets of stone. Find out how Christ embodies the law and helps us fulfill it through him.

Understand what it means to be the “salt of the earth.” Learn how we as Christians can bring flavor to life, keep things from going bad, and inspire others through the way we live.

Discover why you need permanent residence in the kingdom of God and not just a mailbox. With every act of Christ’s love we show others, we “bring the kingdom come.”

Rethink what it means to follow Christ. It is not about getting into heaven, it is having heaven get into you. It is a privilege, not a burden; true freedom, not restriction; an opportunity, not a sacrifice.

Hear what makes temptation so powerful, determine why it lurks in places where there is the potential for the most good, and find out how it can be overcome through the power of Christ.

Learn about this outward, visible sign of an inward, spiritual grace. Discover why it is not the water of baptism that makes the difference, it is the claiming of life in covenant with Christ.

Find out more about these rare, holy moments when God pulls back the curtain. See how Christ uses these striking realizations to transform our hearts and give new meaning to our lives.
