    Have you ever wondered how to avoid having any trace of pretense? To make an unsupported claim about one’s accomplishment is pretending to be something we are not.

    AND HE SAID TO THE DISCIPLES, “THE DAYS SHALL COME WHEN YOU WILL LONG TO SEE ONE OF THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN, AND YOU WILL NOT SEE IT. 23 AND THEY WILL SAY TO YOU, ‘LOOK THERE!

    Easy Religion

     | 4,745 views

    Too many people today are trying to substitute easy and convenient religion for Spirit led sanctification. How does Jesus feel about that?

    EASY RELIGION Jn. 2:13-22 INTRO. The Bible records a visit by Jesus to the temple at age 12 (Lk. 2:42); and then again at age 30 (text). (See 2:12) The Passover was a commemoration of the Exodus. In N.T. times the Passover sacrifice was ritually slaughtered in the Temple. A company bound ...read more

    Repent, For One And For All Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 11, 2024
     | 515 views

    If you don’t have enough personal goof-ups to occupy your repentant mind, how about repenting our national sins?

    Third Sunday of Easter 2024 Late in his life, St. John the Apostle wrote three letters from his exile to churches he directed in Asia, now a part of Turkey. He wants his Church families to live holy lives, and has spent his entire life to encourage other Christians in this mode. And he tells us ...read more

    Countering the deadly habit of thinking of ourselves as a "god."

    Friday of the Twenty-Third Week in Course 2025 Take a look at the opening prayer for our worship today. We implore God, by whom we are redeemed and receive adoption, to look graciously on your beloved sons and daughters. We are redeemed by God through the free and meritorious ace of the Son of ...read more

    Let's Help The World Get "soaked In Christ."

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 7, 2025
     | 192 views

    We have died with Christ through our baptism, our “soaking” in Christ, and so we will live with Him. Persevering through life and suffering we will reign with Him.

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2025 Every day we stand with the ten lepers of Luke’s Gospel, raising our voices in the Kyrie Eleison shouting “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us.” And in that prayer, if we truly repent of our many shortcomings, we are cleansed of every “venial” sin. With the one ...read more

    Raising Generation Alpha: A Sacred Responsibility

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on May 12, 2025
     | 464 views

    This sermon is about not just about parenting, but about stewardship of the future. We live in an age where the children among us—Generation Alpha—are growing up in a world unlike anything we ever knew. And yet the call of God remains the same across all generations

    Beloved, today I invite you into a timely and important conversation—one not just about parenting, but about stewardship of the future. We live in an age where the children among us—Generation Alpha—are growing up in a world unlike anything we ever knew. They are the first generation fully immersed ...read more

    The ritual and judicial commands of Torah encumber us. But we are not encumbered by the Ten Commandments--those words are for all humans

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2025 I suppose if the church at Antioch were magically transported to the twenty-first century, Paul and Barnabas and some of the other Christian leaders might have been accused of anti-Semitism. That’s nonsense, of course, but it is true that when some Jewish Christians ...read more

    What is spiritual rest?

    1. What are the author’s warnings? Let us fear (v. 1); let us labor (v. 11), let us hold fast (v. 14), let us come boldly (v. 16). 2. How does the apostle indicate his concern that some have false assurance? Come short of the promise (v. 1). 3. What had been the trouble with the Israelites of ...read more

    Good Old Days (God)

     | 389 views

    It is evident that the glory has departed from many churches and Christians. We need to be casting again.

    A history note, In the early days of this country Baptists were disliked because every time they spoke to someone they had "a scripture to cast in your teeth." Sadly, they have come a long way and the wrong way. For many years in ministry I have had to plead with Baptists to come to ...read more

    Too Big For Us To Understand

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2025
     | 354 views

    Jesus, in His compassion for us mentally and spiritually wounded humans, used His Sacred Body in His ministry, and used material things in His contact with men and women.

    Friday after the Epiphany 2025 Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was descended from King David, as Matthew’s Gospel tells us, but more fundamentally, He was a real human being, a real man, ultimately the offspring of Adam and Eve. Luke’s Gospel, in the third chapter, takes us all the way back ...read more

    Why Church #5 Found In Freedom Series

    Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025
     | 525 views

    We are free when our lives are uncommitted, but not to be what we were intended to be. Real freedom is not freedom "from," but freedom "for."

    ~ Intro: … I have on my table a violin string... it is free. I twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do--produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin ...read more

    People who are empty often lack an intimate communication and relationship with Jesus Christ

    Knowledge Without Intimacy With Christ Leads to Emptiness (Acts 18:24-28) 1. Why do you suppose that many knowledgeable people lack an eternal sense of meaning?
