James | Prayer That God Hears (Lynnita Weber)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons

James | What Does Grace Do In A Believer? (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
James 4:6-10 - James knows that the heart of the Christian message is grace. God gives us good that we couldn’t ever deserve. The truth is that we earn and deserve justice and punishment. Thankfully, Jesus took both of those for us and gave us the good he deserved. As powerful as grace is, there is one thing that can resist it. Listen in to find the one thing that repels grace.

Baptism | Empowered (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
Acts 1:1-11 - Baptism is recognized throughout the Church as the beginning of a ‘God thing.’ John’s baptism was a visible demonstration of the start of a new life — clearing out the junk to prepare for what God was about to do. Jesus’ baptism reveals the true heart of baptism: God’s desire to bless and express His delight. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the start of the Kingdom. Ordinary women and men were now filled with the Spirit of Jesus to continue on the ministry Jesus started.
