Mission Accomplished!

2 weeks ago | preachingtoday.com | Kevin Miller |Philip Graham Ryken

Introduction When I was a kid, I was awestruck by the Apollo space missions. President Kennedy had set this audacious mission of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth by the end of the 1960s. It was an audacious, difficult, and dangerous mission. In January 1967, the crew of Apollo 1 was inside the capsule on the launch pad, running a test with the plan that in the following month they would blast off and be the first three-man mission to orbit around the earth.

Kingdom Authority: One Kingdom. Indivisible.

Oct 23, 2024 | preachingtoday.com | Rob Hall |Philip Graham Ryken |Mark Buchanan

Introduction What is one of the best ways to keep your air clean at home? Yes, an air filter. We are a full service church so we wanted to remind you to please change your filters today! Just kidding. I bring this out to remind us that we all have filters, ways we process information. Your mind has a filter. Depending on how you were raised, where you went to school, experiences, jobs, books you’ve read, and so many other things, all have become a filter for how you and I think about things.
Kingdom Values: One Kingdom. Indivisible.

Oct 14, 2024 | preachingtoday.com | Rob Hall |Philip Graham Ryken |John Koessler

Introduction There is a surface need: American values vs Kingdom values. I want to look at Kingdom values. Let’s start with a definition. Value means, a person’s principles or standards of behavior; one’s judgment of what is important in life. So, what are some American values? Freedom, independence, happiness, patriotism, nationalism, individualism and materialism are a few. What are the values of the Kingdom of God? How and when do Kingdom values run counter to American values? Or do they?
Kingdom Allegiance: One Kingdom. Indivisible.

Introduction Things have been so heavy lately, so I want to have a little fun. Let me ask you a few questions. How many of you can’t stand it when the topic of politics is brought up at the dinner table, at work or with friends? How many of you love bringing it up!? How many of you have already made up your mind on who you will vote for in this year’s election? How many of you are simply praying for Jesus’ return?

Take Your Doubts about God to God

Sep 28, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Philip Graham Ryken

When Jeremiah doubted, he did not try to solve his problems on his own. Instead, he committed his cause to the Lord. For him, this meant praying that his cause would be vindicated. Our case may be different, but the principle is the same: if we believe that God is with us and has the power to help us, then we should ask him for the help that only he can give. Jeremiah 20 is the prayer of a suffering believer.
6 Practical Steps to Help Grow Your Confidence in God’s Word

Aug 28, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Philip Graham Ryken

We can pray for the help of the Holy Spirit. We need God’s help to believe God’s word. One of the most important claims the Bible makes about itself is that it was “breathed out” by God the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16; cf. 2 Pet. 1:21). The Spirit of God is not a subjective feeling but a living, supernatural person—someone who has the divine power to confirm our minds and hearts in the truth of Scripture. John Calvin wrote beautifully about the Spirit’s work in his famous Institutes.
Take Your Doubts about God to God

Take It to the Lord in PrayerJeremiah 20 is the prayer of a suffering believer. Imagine the prophet in solitary confinement—weakened with physical pain, exhausted by emotional turmoil, fearful of what tomorrow might bring. Now hear the first words out of his mouth. They come in the form of an invocation to Almighty God. “O Lord,” the prophet cries. “O Lord!” (Jer. 20:7). God always invites us to take our troubles straight to him. This is what godly people have done throughout history.
