    Jesus means for the Communion service to be a lot more than just a religious observance, but to keep fresh in our minds the act of sacrificial love He has for us.

    Turn your Bibles to Matthew 27: 28 – 31 Title: The Battlefield Wounds of Christ Theme: Remembering His Cost was Our Gain Introduction: When I first got started in the Arabian Horse business, my parents and I attended a special coronation celebration for a beautiful Arabian Stallion.

    Who Is Melchizedek? Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001
    based on 97 ratings
     | 11,972 views

    Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

    Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

    We look for heroes today, and we only find them in comic books, but there used to be a real hero. He lived a long time ago. His name was Jesus, and He led a very action-packed life. Jesus had just healed a man in a cemetery from being demon possessed, and then when he got home, there was a ...read more

    Can you remember when you were 8-years old? What was your top priority at that age? Was it the efficient operations of your household, or was it to hurry and go out so you could play with your friends? All I can remember was that I was in the 3rd grade and I loved recess.

    In Christ Ministry there are series of special events like, the Marriage in Cana, Sermon on the Mount, Washing of the Feet of the disciples and the Holy Communion Service and The Transfiguration. To mentioned just few.

    Text: (Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭2-9‬ KJV) And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no ...read more

    The story is told of how they used to make the masts for the old sailing ships of the past. They would go into a forest and select a tree that was tall and straight.

    Our spiritual life, our moral life must be built on the sold foundation of Christ’s law of love, and maintained and grown by frequent prayer, confession and communion.

    Some Actions Are Always Wrong So What Do We Do? Series

    Murdering the innocent is always gravely immoral. Thus we have been taught since the first Christians accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and celebrated communion together.

    Homily Monday of 12th week in ordinary time If we are to understand what the Lord is saying to us today, and more importantly what He is not saying, we need to find the key word in the Gospel: it’s “hypocrite.” A hypocrite is someone who calls sin a sin in other people, but ignores the sin in ...read more

    The honor of being admitted into communion with God and being employed by/for him does not exempt us from the duties due to our families and callings in this world.

    Exodus 4:21-23 21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel ...read more

    2 - Yours And Mine Series

    That is the promise, “I will be their God and they will be my people” or “I am yours and you are mine.” This is marriage language. And we have a symbol of this we practice every month in communion.

    When was the last time you made a promise? Did you keep it? Perhaps when you were married? A wife took her husband to counseling and in tears the woman tells the counselor that her husband doesn’t tell her he loves her. The counselor asked the husband, if that is true, and he said, “I told her I ...read more

    The main point of this sermon is to emphasize the importance of dedicating time to God in His house, where we can find safety, communion, acceptance, and a deeper understanding of Him.

    Good morning, family of God! We gather here today to delve into the Word of God, to seek His wisdom, and to understand His purpose for us. Today, we turn our attention to the Gospel of Luke, specifically Luke 2:49. Here, we find a young Jesus in the temple, astonishing the scholars with His ...read more

    Fitting In

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011
     | 7,203 views

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 5,586 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
