    Learning From God's Providence

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Jun 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,989 views

    Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered. Similarly, St. Paul learned from the Christ that he had persecuted, the things he would suffer as He followed the Christ. Living the Christ life, we will see how suffering aids in redemption.

    Trinity 2 2017 Learning from God’s Providence The Collect O LORD, who never failest to help and govern those whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy ...read more

    Sabbath As Defiance

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 26, 2015
     | 5,322 views

    The Sabbath is a transformative tradition, an antidote to anxiety. We are restless till we find our rest in God. We set aside our anxieties and busyness, our pursuit of more, and we recognize that our refuge is God alone.

    The President of local synagogue, and a close friend of mine, asked me if I knew the most sacred Jewish holy day. I said it must be either Passover or Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). He smiled and said, “No, it’s the Sabbath. It is the most important day in the Jewish ...read more

    This morning, I want to engage in a little time travel. I want you to think about your fondest memories of attending church. Maybe it was a mission trip.

    Under the cover of social justice and love, the Progressive Christianity movement rejects New Testament doctrine, substituting its own standards for the moral standards taught by the apostles. This message addresses the error and calls God's people to remain true to Traditional Christianity.

    Intro Today we will address a popular movement known as Progressive Christianity. Its adherents describe this movement as being “characterized by a willingness to question tradition, acceptance of human diversity, a strong emphasis on social justice and care for the poor and the oppressed, and ...read more

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester!
