    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,802 views

    Abraham and God go back-and-forth as friends, in a cordial and remarkable dialogue, and we see in their exchange the consideration of God. He’s not a tyrant; we can appeal to Him.

    “Abraham’s Argument” Genesis 18:16-33 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts After reading this passage, some of you may be shaking your heads; most of us wouldn’t dream of arguing with God, yet we find in Scripture plenty of examples of people laying out ...read more

    Decide to follow Christ

    Sept. 7 Follow Me Christians by and large are dull and boring. Jesus would never call us to a mediocre life. The american dream is not the same as the life Jesus calls us to live - a reasonable life. What’s Reasonable? Is it reasonable to work 45 years at a job you hate so you can buy stuff you ...read more

    Life is not a game and the only true "comeback" happened 2000+ years ago.

    The Comeback Kid The 49ers trailed 38-14 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, but they scored 25 straight points on two TD passes and a scoring run. The Bills scored a 41-38 victory over the Houston Oilers on Jan. 3, 1993, a game they had trailed 35-3 in the third ...read more

    HoHum: Lynn Anderson- Several years ago, Carolyn and I rode a tour bus through Israel's countryside, spellbound by Ahim, our unusually gifted tour guide. Ahim, who likes to laugh at himself, told how one of his tours fizzled. Ahim said he was reeling off his spiel about shepherds, who don't drive ...read more

    We are told that we are more than victorius through Christ. If that is so then why do so many Christ followers seem to have defeat and not victory. Because the only place victory comes before work is in the dictionary. A forgotten or ignored fruit of t

    Intro: Have you ever looked for victory in your spiritual life but had it vanish like a mist of fog? Are you searching for what it means to be more than a conqueror but feel conquered most of the time? Do you sing victory in Jesus and really don’t believe that it’s possible. If you ...read more

    How Do You Receive The Word Part 2 Series

     | 2,299 views

    The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

    What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more

    Transfiguration of Our Lord: On the mount of transfiguration we are given a glimpse of the divinity that has been encased in human form. As we contemplate this, we must conclude that our Lord - the One Who died - is True God.

    For the last month and one-half, we have been in the season of Epiphany. During Epiphany the identity of the little child whose birth we celebrated during the Christmas season, is fully revealed. Ephiphany culminates on Transfiguration Sunday - today. Today we remember the awesome event that ...read more

    For some reason, it makes perfect sense to most of us, to not try and run the Boston Marathon without proper training. But when it comes to our relationship with Christ, we make the decision to follow Him and think that we can just sit back and enjoy the

    If you guys can remember what we talked about two weeks ago, we began to look at our mission statement – Living to Grow, Serve, Worship, and Share. We spent the majority of our time focusing on the importance of “living together.” For starters we talked about that this was a major component to the ...read more

    Looking at 2 Timothy we see four anologies to a Christian that we can use for our life.

    Introduction 1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Grace- Grace is the empowering of God enabling me to be what God created me to be and to do what He has called(destined for) me to do. Not something I dream up not something I deserve.

    As Christians we can have the victory in the race of life.

    Intro: I guess you are wondering why this message is called” Nike”? right? You probably think I am referring to a brand of athletic wear or running shoes don’t you? I think that some people think that if you are wearing Nike shoes while running a race or playing a game that you are certain to ...read more

    The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

    Usually March is the month of graduations. It reminds me of what someone wrote, “It is important to start right, but it is imperative to end well.” Sadly, many people start well but end poorly. However, I don’t want my life to end that way. I believe most if not all of us would like to finish well. ...read more
