Sermon Title: “A Simple Prayer”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 5:8, 6:5-15

Synopsis: We want to be open-minded, but we naturally resist things we can’t control or don’t understand. So how can we learn to be open to changing our ideals and beliefs? Especially if our existing thoughts may cause us to think wrongly about something? Change is never simple and never easy. But it begins with a simple prayer and asking God to change our perspective. It is amazing what God can do as He works to change hearts and people.

Sermon Title: “If Then Why?”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 6:5-15, Proverbs 30:8–9

Synopsis: If God already knows my needs, why pray? Because the purpose of prayer is to surrender your will, not impose it. Compared to most of the world, many of us run the risk of losing an active sense of dependence on God because we have so much. How can our prayers help combat that?

Sermon Title: “Just Like You”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 6:5-15

Synopsis: At one time or another, we’ve all been told we should pray. But how should we pray? Jesus’s disciples had the exact same question.

Sermon Title: “Life Changers”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: James 1:2-5

Synopsis: Earlier in the month we talked about important relationships. But what about life changing circumstances? Many times God uses the circumstances of our lives to test the strength of our faith. Look at the apostle Peter who struck out (3 times) denying our Lord in the final hours of his life. A big failure, but in the end, Jesus hands him the keys to the kingdom. Later, Peter gets an A+ after his encounter with the Sanhedrin. Think about our own lives, the lessons we learn and the lessons it sometime requires us to review again and again before we get it right. God uses all of those incidences to strength our faith muscle to prepare us for the days ahead on our continuing faith journey.

Sermon Title: “The Amazing Unfairness of Grace”
Pastor: Linda Maifair

Scriptures: Matthew 20:1-15

Synopsis: Annual Conference will be beginning on this Sunday in Omaha, NE. Linda Mayfair will be filling the pulpit at Carlisle. Come and enjoy this wonderful speaker as we consider the great unfairness of grace. How come everyone got paid the same? Aren’t you glad Jesus treats all of us the same way.
