  • The Freedom To Disappoint Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 18, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,191 views

    If we are to be faithful disciples of Christ, and follow His example, we must be willing to disappoint others.

    Good morning! I’d like to jump right in, and begin this morning with a precious promise, one that comes directly from Christ: “28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will ...read more

  • Investing For The Long Term

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 25, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,965 views

    Unlike the crowds on Palm Sunday, who hailed Jesus as king but only days later demanded that he be crucified, we need to hold on to our faith and hope in Christ. Here's why and how.

    I’d like to begin this morning with a story. It involves these men [photo of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs]. You probably recognize them: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The two men who founded Apple Computer. Right? Well, no, actually that’s not accurate. Here is a photo of the original partnership ...read more

  • Pulling Back The Curtain

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 1, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,330 views

    A New Year's sermon to encourage us that God is in control of the year that is past, and the year that is to come.

    Intro: In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a small town banker who is driven to the brink of suicide by the prospect of financial ruin and disgrace. He is convinced that his life has been a failure, and that it would have been better if he had never ...read more

  • Differently Gifted

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,620 views

    What you think you know about spiritual gifts, is probably wrong, in ways that actually inhibit ministry rather than encouraging it.

    This morning I would like us to think about spiritual gifts: skills and abilities given by God the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ for the purpose of ministry. And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more

  • Do We Really Want God To Forgive Our Debts As We Forgive Our Debtors?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 29, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,801 views

    If we want to be forgiven, we must forgive the sins of others against us.

    This morning, we will be hiking through some challenging spiritual terrain, but I promise that the destination will be worth the journey. I’d like to talk about one thing, one critical thing, that if done or not done can make or break a marriage, make or break a family, make or break a friendship, ...read more

  • Forget It!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 31, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,607 views

    In order to press on, to move forward, in the Christian life, we must first "forget" the past. We must forget the sins of others and our own sins and mistakes; we must forget our successes and failures; we must forget our vision of how our life would turn out.

    My text this morning is a familiar one, from Paul’s letter to the Philippian church, chapter three, verses twelve through fourteen. Let me set the context. Paul begins by listing his credentials as an authentic descendant of Abraham, in rebuttal to those who were attacking him and his message. ...read more

  • Why Do We Sing?

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,984 views

    On the occasion of dedicating new hymnals, it is fitting for us to think about why we sing, and how important singing hymns is to our spiritual health and growth.

    This morning we are dedicating new hymnals for use in our worship. Lord willing, these hymnals will bless our congregation for many years to come. We are thankful to have them. We are thankful to the committee which compared and evaluated several hymnals before choosing this one. And we are ...read more

  • Why Go To Church?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,818 views

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more

  • Are You Dancing To Their Tune?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 30, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,554 views

    Many people want you to dance to their tune, to order your life according to their convictions and demands. Some of them are in the church. But the freedom that we have in Christ releases us from being slaves to the opinions of others, and even requires it.

    This morning, I’d like us to consider a passage of Scripture in which Jesus makes an astute observation about the social and religious culture of his day. It’s a fairly brief remark, but one that is full of significance for us today, because it gives us a perspective on how to react to criticism ...read more

  • Take Up Your Cross

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,985 views

    Following Christ means following him to the cross.

    There are basically two kinds of sermons on the Christian life. The first type of sermon views the Christian life as a kind of puzzle to be solved, with the message going something like this: Life is full of hardships, and frustrations, and obstacles. But if you do this one thing; if you ...read more

  • Your Resources Are Insufficient. That's What God Intends.

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,887 views

    It was never God's intention that our resources should be sufficient. He wants to show us what he can do with the little we have.

    As we consider the world that we live in today; as we watch the news on television, as we read the paper, or more likely, read the news online; as we look around us, and consider everything that is happening in our nation and in the world, it’s easy to become discouraged and disillusioned. ...read more

  • The Day Before Easter

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2024
     | 1,087 views

    What was the disciples' state of mind on Saturday, the day between Good Friday and Easter? And what lessons can we learn from their change of perspective?

    What we are remembering this morning is the central, defining event of the Christian faith. Today all over the world, Christians are gathering together, in cathedrals and in rented storefronts, in remote villages and in crowded cities, in thousands of different languages, all celebrating and ...read more

  • Palm Sunday - The Triumphal Entry

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 25, 2024
     | 1,510 views

    When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he was at the height of his popularity. But only a few days later, the crowds were calling for him to be crucified. What happened? And what did the Triumphal Entry signify that the people didn't understand?

    Today is Palm Sunday, one of the most significant days of the church calendar. And I think it’s fitting to remind ourselves that as we worship this morning here in our church we are part of a worldwide celebration, one that has been repeated every year for twenty centuries. In other words, this is ...read more

    We the people must turn our hearts to God

    “Independence and Repentance” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church II Chronicles 7:14, “If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their ...read more
