    Four times in the Christmas Story we encounter fearful people of God: Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. In all cases, they are comforted by God’s angels. And they are told, “fear not”.

    Christmas Eve message—the Original Christmas Emotion Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts If we were contestants on the game show Family Feud and were asked to list words associated with Christmas, we might include some of the following—joy, peace, goodwill, ...read more

    Habakkuk had begun with a distorted view of God and His activity. Habakkuk now comes away from His encounter with God with a new perspective on who God really is.

    I Can See Clearly Now Habakkuk 3:1-15 Habakkuk 3:1-2 (HCSB) A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. According to Shigionoth. Lord, I have heard the report about You; Lord, I stand in awe of Your deeds. Revive Your work in these years; make it known in these years. In Your wrath remember ...read more

    When Psalm 91 becomes your reality, Covid 19 cannot touch your home. The global outbreak of this pandemic has caused panic in the lives of people. But as believers we do have a place of great safety. This series on Psalm 91 will be a great immunity booster.

    We read in Psalm 91:2, “I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." (GW) If we observe the above mentioned verse, the Psalmist refers to God in a most personal way when He says of God, ‘My refuge’, ‘My fortress’ and ‘My God’. God is not a ...read more

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more
