The Bible And Astronomy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Psa. 138:6 reminds us, "Though the Lord be high, He has respect unto the lowly." Astronomy keeps us humble, but also helps us maintain a spirit of adoration for the Creator of all the wonders it discovers.

The Provocative Entry

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

Palm Sunday helps us correctly understand humility in relationship to others, and Christian vocation in relationship to God. The following discourse is based upon one of the first sermons I preached, a “Palm Sunday” sermon given many years ago.

(If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) There are very many New Testament scriptural admonitions to humility; for example, Paul writes: “By the grace given to me I bid everyone among you not to think of himself more ...read more

Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021

What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

The Echelon Principle

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

If the body of Christ is to function properly, we can’t just have a few members doing all the ministry by themselves, while the rest of the people watch the show. Jethro told Moses he needed to appoint others to help him.

Our message for this evening is entitled “The Echelon Principle.” I am not going to tell you what an echelon is just yet; however, some of you might already know. I will tell you that it has something to do with playing on the same team, and striving together toward a common goal and purpose. ...read more

Why Carry That Weight?

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Mar 5, 2015

Jesus died to forgive our sins, and He also helps us bear our pain and suffering, as Isaiah 53 describes. Why would we want to bear our sin and suffering alone when Jesus stands at the ready?

[This is a short homily given at evening program at an inner-city mission church, mid-week meeting]. We’re in the season of Lent, when we get ready for Easter. Part of getting ready for Easter is preparing our hearts to be able to take in what Easter is about. What is Easter about? ...read more
