     | 1,715 views

    Throughout the Bible, the word of God stresses the importance of turning away from sin and wickedness and surrendering our lives to our Lord.

    Wake Up and Depart! Isaiah 52:1-12 The prophet Isaiah’s ministry spanned the reigns of 4 Judean kings. He was called to prophetic ministry in the year that king Uzziah died, approximately 742 BC, and then continued through the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah until 686 BC, approximately 56 ...read more

    Jesus I'm Just Not Feeling It #1 Series

     | 3,534 views

    If the Church has just become another obligation or routine, then listen up. If the church has stopped being a holy place, a place to worship the king, a time of encouragement and instead it has become just another ritual of an unfulfilling life. Then listen to this.

    Today we begin a new series based on the book of Philippians call, “Jesus, I’m just not feeling it.” The line itself is the number one breakup line between couples. It is also very appropriate for those in the church because a recent study (Reveal- willowcreek) reports that as many as 25% of the ...read more

    Are we so blinded by our church buildings and our rituals that we don’t see God? Are we blinded by the world’s sinfulness? Are we noble like the Bereans, studying our Bibles daily to see what God says?

    Prelude Are we so blinded by our church buildings and our rituals that we don’t see God? Are we blinded by the world’s sinfulness? Are we noble like the Bereans, studying our Bibles daily to see what God says? What defiles us? Let’s look at Matthew 15:10-20 and see what Jesus has to say about ...read more

    End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

    Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

    Our prayer life is examined by our fruitfulness in life. A sponge soaked in oil when it is squeezed spills out oil, and a sponge soaked in water, when squeezed, give out water. What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more

    John helps us see that the Word is God, creator, light, man. The journey Jesus made started before creation and will last for eternity. What does that mean for us? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    I’ve heard a lot of people talking about when is the right time to get into the Christmas spirit? How do you know you’re ready to celebrate this holiday? For some, it means putting the outdoor decorations up as early as the day after Halloween (after all, why not get that done before it’s freezing ...read more

    Many Christians balk at the words "He descended into hell" and wonder if this is really taught in Scripture. I’m attempting to clarify what occurred between the cross and the empty tomb.

    “I Believe” Sermon Series on the Apostles Creed “The Conquering Victory” (“He Descended into Hell”) I Peter 3:18-22 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts A victory is an experience we don’t forget, whether it’s a military, sports or personal triumph.

    NEARLY EVERYONE TODAY PROFESSES TO BE A CHRIST-IAN. WHY THEN ARE OUR CHURCHES EMPTY AND OUR PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SIN? THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY ARE MERE PROFESSOR’S AND NOT POSSESSOR’S!

    PROFESSION WITHOUT POSSESSION TEXT: TITUS 1:16 INTRO: NOW AS WE GET INTO THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING, I JUST WANT TO READ ONE SIMPLE PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE HERE IN THE BOOK OF TITUS AND USE THAT FOR MY TEXT.

    Easter Baptismal Service. The sermon leads us together to the empty tomb. In it we find God’s promises revealed. We are covenanted into that promise through our baptism.

    A short Easter sermon. An empty tomb and a risen Christ are the greatest discoveries in the world. They compel us to 1) Believe the facts; 2) Share the message; and 3) Rejoice in hope.

    Sermon Notes “The Greatest Discovery in the World” Matthew 28:1-20 Introduction: This Easter, the world is asking lots of questions. “What’s so important about this holiday?” “Why should I care about the death of some guy 2000 years ago?” “Where was God when tragedy struck?” “Can I trust Him ...read more

    Easter gives us an opportunity each year to revisit the empty tomb and be reminded of the power of God, who is able to do more than we can ask or imagine.

    Imagine one being divine for a couple of weeks. Not like Jesus Christ, who as Second Person of the Trinity emptied Himself of everything to become man, all the way to a cross.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2022 One of the critical prophetic statements in the OT is in the book of Hosea (11:9). Hosea hears God tell him about the divine intention toward the kingdom of Israel: “I will not. . .destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man–the Holy One among you–and I will not ...read more

    Because of Easter we have a new future. How do we know that the resurrection is true? Because of the external testimony,. the empty tomb, the expensive toll and everlasting transformation.

    EASTER – A NEW FUTURE Does anyone have a cross necklace on right now? Have you ever thought about what the cross really is? Originally the cross was a tool Rome used to execute its criminals. It was not just a form of execution; it was a form of torture and humiliation. The victim usually ...read more
