This sermon from Sept. 24, 2006, "Strengthened by Christ's Spirit" was inspired by Paul's words of prayer for the Ephesian church in Ephesians 3:14-21. We are privileged to overhear him praying for that church. The thought then, is what if we overheard others praying for us, or if they overheard us praying for them? Even better, let us not miss out on the joy of hearing others pray for us, nor of allowing them to hear us pray for them. Praying aloud with others is a resource that is all but forgotten as an experience in the church today. May God give us a boldness to claim this blessing once again, for as we do, Christ's Spirit will strengthen us in His service daily. (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20060924.mp3

In this passage we hear Peter call Jesus "the Christ." It becomes evident that Peter doesn't really understand the meaning of that word for Jesus. And Jesus rebukes Peter embarrassing him before the disciples. How often do we use the words "Savior" and "Lord" to describe Jesus, and yet our lives betray that he is anything but the Lord of our lives.

The sermon "When Not Doing Right Wasn't Wrong" is based on Jesus words to the woman who requested healing for her daughter and Jesus said that for him to do so was not right. (Mark 7:24-37) Of course her persistence and faith caused him to grant her request. Her "begging" as well as the "begging" of the crowd for the man who was both deaf and mute also made a difference in that story. When's the last time you begged God on behalf of another?
