Greg helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What is prayer?”). How does prayer explain the ways we get to relate to our God who loves us.

We’re drawn to people who seem useful, impressive, ready to contribute—and in Luke 18, the disciples felt the same way when they turned away parents bringing infants to Jesus.

Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“How does the Holy Spirit help us?”) as we continue to explore how God the Holy Spirit helps us.
We constantly seek to strive for the better position in society, but what if we stopped trying to see ourselves as important and instead saw ourselves humbly?
It’s easy to look across the room and thank God we’re not like that person—the failure, the compromiser, the obvious sinner. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable to confront such self-righteousness in us.
Melanie helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What do we believe about the Holy Spirit?”) as we continue to explore how God the Holy Spirit is with us.
Seeking wise counsel that will lead us closer to the Lord is at the heart of helping good leaders and being good leaders.
We’ve all prayed about something so long that we start to wonder if God has put us on hold—and whether anyone is ever going to pick up.
