Some of us are praying too safe. Praying for comfort is nice sometimes, but we aren't just made to pray that we don't get a nail in our tire or that our pizza is still hot when we get home. We're made to pray in a way that brings Heaven to earth. Things so big only God can do them. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how God doesn't just ask us to pray safe. He asks us to pray big. 
 
Recorded live at Crossroads in Cincinnati, Ohio. 
 
Join us with Lead Pastor, Kyle Ranson, as he invites us to pray audaciously.

This May Be Why Your Faith Isn’t Growing | Tony Evans Sermon

Ligonier Ministries is an international Christian discipleship organization founded by theologian Dr. R.C. Sproul in 1971 to equip Christians to articulate what they believe, why they believe it, how to live it, and how to share it. Proclaiming God’s holiness is central to Ligonier’s purpose.

Ligonier produces Renewing Your Mind radio broadcasts, the Reformation Study Bible, Tabletalk magazine, books through the Reformation Trust Publishing division, and various teaching series. It also offers academic degrees through Reformation Bible College. In addition, Ligonier hosts national and regional conferences, offers an online learning community through Ligonier Connect, streams twenty-four-hour Christian internet radio through RefNet, and makes available thousands of unique discipleship resources online at Ligonier.org.

Ligonier Ministries

How do we balance our calling to contend for the faith with Scripture’s command to live in harmony with one another? In this sermon, R.C. Sproul navigates this balance with pastoral insight, reminding Christians of our calling to be peacemakers in the world.

Pastor Greg Laurie

Scripture reveals we were not only created on purpose, but for a purpose. And while that purpose may bring opposition, it also brings authority and sends us forward. 
 
 
Notes: 
 
 
Luke 4 
   
Why do you exist? 
Why were you created? 
  
The Bible says we were not only created on purpose, 
but that we were created for a purpose. 
  
Luke 1:3 (NLT) 
  
Luke 1:4 (NLT) 
  
What is God’s purpose? 
  
Luke 4:14–30 
  
#1 Purpose Brings Opposition 
  
Before you accomplish the purpose of God, you need to have the Spirit of God. 
  
Hebrews 4:15 (NKJV) 
 
 
Luke 4:18–19 (NKJV) 
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, 
Because He has anointed Me 
To preach the gospel to the poor; 
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 
To proclaim liberty to the captives 
And recovery of sight to the blind, 
To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." 
  
Jesus doesn’t just bring comfort. 
He claims authority. 
He is the Messiah. 
  
Luke 4:30 (NKJV) 
Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. 
  
Luke 4:30 (MSG) 
But He gave them the slip and was on His way. 
  
Living for God’s purpose brings opposition. 
  
Live for God’s purposes rather than your own. 
  
Luke 4:31–37 
  
#2 Purpose Carries Authority 
  
Opposition is confirmation that we are on the right track. 
  
Sometimes opposition is correction. 
Sometimes opposition is immaturity. 
Sometimes opposition has consequences. 
  
"The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him." 
—D.L. Moody 
  
But Jesus isn’t just authoritative, He’s compassionate. 
He’s not just powerful, He’s loving and merciful. 
  
Luke 4:38–44 
  
#3 Purpose Sends You Forward 
  
Jesus had authority in the synagogue, 
compassion in the home, and 
mercy in the streets. 
  
Luke 4:43 (NKJV) 
but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent." 
  
What is your purpose?

Sermons and Bible teaching from Alistair Begg. Alistair has been in pastoral ministry since 1975. Following graduation from The London School of Theology, he served eight years in Scotland at both Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh and Hamilton Baptist Church. 

In 1983, he became the senior pastor at Parkside Church near Cleveland, Ohio.  He has written several books and is heard daily and weekly on the radio program, Truth For Life.  The teaching on Truth For Life stems from the week by week Bible teaching at Parkside Church.

A Commitment to Prayer

Scripture:Verse By Verse 

with Michael Meurett

Study the entire Bible verse by verse.

I have been teaching the Bible verse by verse on radio and television for over 30 years. My goal has always been to teach it in a clear simple understandable way, and to make it as practical as possible. As the name implies these commentaries are basic, and hopefully they will make Scripture more understandable for you. I pray they are used by God to draw you closer to Christ.
