    This sermon explores the various roles music plays in worship.

    This weekend the Forestburg community celebrated the role music has played in our community. I imagine that most of that heritage is of country music. However, church music has a strong place in our community as well. For decades, God’s music has penetrated the hearts and lives of people in this ...read more

    a Message to remind us of the reasons we have to Praise The Lord.

    Intro: When it comes to worshiping God you can see in any church usually 3 kinds of people. The ones who love to worship the Lord and “Enter in” there are those who worship out of routine. And those who do not enter in at all. There was a preacher who was trying to see his horse. A potential buyer ...read more

    You’re not the audience. God is. We are all players, performers who live and worship before Him.

    Today, we are wrapping up our series “wired for worship.” But how do you worship God in a world of pain and suffering? The problem is huge. And on August 29, indescribable suffering showed up again as Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Some say that we can still worship God because this was ...read more

    Worship satisfies. It gives us right priorities. More joy, peace, hope. When your blessings go up to God, His blessings come down to you.

    We are wired for worship! Several years ago a businessman here in Brecksville said to me, “I don’t like that word ‘worship.’ Sounds soft. It’s not for me.” Well, last week, we learned that worship is why we were created. It’s what gives us fulfillment. It satisfies. It gives us right ...read more

    We all desire to please God, for the most part, but how we go about it makes all the difference

    Luke 10: 25-37 If Jesus were to come to you and tell you that this is the one thing that you need to do, in order to please God, would you not do it immediately? But will you be aware enough to be able to do it? Most people in the world want to be good, want to do good, in order to please God. ...read more

    We have experienced the warm glow of God’s blessings, but the fire of judgment is also at hand, for worship becomes ritual, there is a critical spirit, and pessimism spreads. Diligence and integrity bring vitality in worship.

    In all the annals of human history, there is one item which has held out more hope and yet offered more terror than any other. Wherever human beings gathered, in the infancy of our race, there this one item, this one element, both attracted them and repelled them; it drew them close and yet it ...read more

    The praise and worship part of our Christian life is of the utmost importance because it helps us develop a deeper relationship with God, and in the words we find the hope, joy, and comfort that we all seek.

    Today I want us to analyze a very important aspect of our Christian life that is oftentimes overlooked, or not given too much attention to. I say that it is something that is oftentimes overlooked or not paid attention to because the majority of all believers only take care of this aspect of their ...read more
