    I Was Bitter, But Now I’m Better

    Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Sep 30, 2025
     | 135 views

    Isn’t it something that one of the most honored women in history, the mother of Jesus, the Savior, the Christ, carried a name that meant bitter?

    Ruth 1:20-21 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. As I stand before you today, I want to lift up a thought that will stir your spirit: I Was Bitter but Now I’m Better. Touch your neighbor and say: “Neighbor, I’ve been through ...read more

    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    I owe thanks to Pastor wes Richard for the basic outline of this sermon. As well, Steven Covey, who was Wes’ inspiration, served as a starting point for me as well. ______________________________________ Sermon for CATM January 9, 2005 - The Welcoming Church - Romans 15:1-7 A few days ...read more

    In this sermon, we work through the first chapter and learn the characteristics that made the church of the Thessalonians a model church.

    Introduction: A. No doubt you have heard a preacher say, “If you ever find the perfect church, please don’t join it. If you do, it won’t be perfect anymore!” Right? B. I came across a poem based on that statement. It goes like this: “If you should find the ...read more

    The Church Mission

     | 1,678 views

    The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

    And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

     | 12,861 views

    Why is the Church so guilty of injustice and does it rule out faith in God as a valid life choice?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I’m going to begin today with a short ...read more

    Marriage And The Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2015
     | 3,673 views

    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! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more

     | 1,889 views

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

    Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water.
