    Angels And Shepherds

     | 16,269 views

    No person is an 'untouchable' to God: and the things revealed that first Christmas are such that 'angels desire to look into...'

    ANGELS AND SHEPHERDS. Luke 2:8-20. To be a shepherd was not necessarily considered to be one of the higher occupations in the Judean province. This is surprising, since some of Israel's great leaders had been shepherds. Abraham had his flocks, as had Isaac. Jacob kept the flocks of his ...read more

    Sermon to encourage Christians to serve one another and the world

    (Hand out Peppermints to Congregation) Months ago I was preaching and a few minutes into the sermon I started coughing. I was not aware of it at the time but a man left the sanctuary and came back with a cup of cold water that saved me and the sermon. I knew then that the Lord wanted me to develop ...read more

    The failure of legalistic Christians

    A. INTRODUCTION For the church to stand independently, the Jewish past had to be eliminated, yet its contribution respected. God used two forces to bring about this goal; (1) The book of Hebrews is God’s call to Jewish Christians to leave the temple worship and only follow Christ, (2) the Roman ...read more

    Our church's final service was held on April 8, 2018, and we discussed three critical things as we each look ahead to what God has for us next: 1) remember what God has done, 2) tell others of what God has done, and 3) imagine what God will do next.

    The European union was fracturing along national lines.

    Sabbath As Defiance

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 26, 2015
     | 5,251 views

    The Sabbath is a transformative tradition, an antidote to anxiety. We are restless till we find our rest in God. We set aside our anxieties and busyness, our pursuit of more, and we recognize that our refuge is God alone.

    The President of local synagogue, and a close friend of mine, asked me if I knew the most sacred Jewish holy day. I said it must be either Passover or Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). He smiled and said, “No, it’s the Sabbath. It is the most important day in the Jewish ...read more

    What do we mean when we say Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist?

    From time to time you may be asked if you are a “Bible-believing Christian.” There’s no reason why a committed Catholic has to say “no” to that question. We believe that the Sacred Scriptures–all seventy-three books–are divinely inspired and true. What ...read more

    Both Josephs trusted God in difficult situations. Both Josephs were pillars who protected others because they took the Lord seriously.
