    How Can We Relate To Jesus Baptism?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Apr 2, 2024
     | 486 views

    What do I do as a newly baptized Christian? This also applies to Christians who have become apathetic. They need to think about what their baptism meant. For Christ it meant to go out to do God's work.

    How can we relate to Jesus baptism? Luke 3:21 – 22 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H Koplitz 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of ...read more

     | 1,464 views

    let us take a moment to ponder the depth of these words. Not tomorrow, not next week, not in some distant future, but today! During our trials, our tribulations, and our struggles, Jesus offers us immediate access to paradise, to the very presence of God Himself.

    RETURN TO SENDER. And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”"Luke 23:43, ESV. Brothers and sisters, today we gather in the presence of the Almighty, holding onto the promise that resonates from the lips of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the midst of agony ...read more

    A sermon for Easter morning.

    “What are We to Make of This?” John 20:1-18 Several years ago, National Geographic put out a map of the history of the world, and it was a Big Map!

     | 1,173 views

    A sermon for Palm Sunday.

    “Pop Star or Messiah?” Mark 11:1-11 What is going on here? It appears that a whole crowd of people have fallen head over heels in love with Jesus! The people are infatuated. It’s as if Jesus were a pop star or something! “Many people spread out their clothes on the road while others spread ...read more

    The Risk Of Not Being Quiet

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 19, 2024
     | 572 views

    Christians need to speak up against woke culture. We need to be brave as John the Baptist

Koplitz Luke 3:18 So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people. 19 But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the wicked things which Herod had ...read more

    Forced To Do It

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 12, 2024
     | 642 views

    Just because culture and society says it is good to do even though it breaks God's law, we should not do it!

    Forced to do it Luke 3:7-17 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 3:7 So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “aYou brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 “Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and ado not begin to say 1to ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Believe?

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 11, 2024
     | 1,120 views

    Do you ever wonder what it means to “believe?” Today we are going to consider what it means to “believe” by examining the passage from Numbers 21 alongside the gospel reading from John 3.

    Is it true that you just believe in Jesus and you are saved? When I first became a Christian at the age of 16 and was taking confirmation classes at Cocoa Presbyterian Church, I remember Reverend Flanagan telling us that if you believe in Jesus you will be saved. Right away that statement raised ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 893 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    Hannah

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 2,540 views

    The story of Hannah is not well known and today it is given as an alternative reading to the more familiar story of Samuel’s call. So, let us dive into this tale of Hannah.

    Hannah is a young woman, married to Elkanah. But she is not his only wife, Elkanah has another wife called Peninnah. Hannah is his first wife, but she has not been blessed with children, we are told twice that the Lord had “closed her womb” (vs. 5, 6). In contrast to Hannah, Peninnah (whose ...read more

     | 2,932 views

    A sermon that contrasts human concerns with the concerns of God.

    “Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple…” Mark 8:31-38 If we are honest haven’t we all at, some point, have disagreed with Jesus, asking Him why He doesn’t do what we want? Why He won’t He see the world our way? I mean think about it. I’d imagine we can all come up with scenarios without me ...read more
