Luke 5:1-11 Series

Contributed by Harry J. Colegrove on Sep 18, 2012

In this message from the Gospel of Luke I focus on Jesus preaching from Peter's boat. The 3 main focal points are that Jesus ministers to both the crowd & the individual, Jesus was driving Peter to a deeper experience, & Jesus gave Peter what he needed t

As is typical of my messages I do not have a written closing. Your crowd differs from my crowd so therefore the closing would probably need to be different anyway. Be blessed! Gospel of Luke 5:1-11 We are in a message series on the Gospel of Luke The word “gospel” literally means ...read more

Contributed by Tony Miano on Dec 8, 2000

We’re going to look at three phases of James’ life. Some of you may be able to relate really well to this. We’re going to look at James, the skeptical brother; James, the saved sinner; and James, the servant Leader.

How Can I "Be Perfect As God Is Perfect"? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 1, 2010

What did Jesus mean when He called us to be perfect?

A Supremely Baptist Excuse: “I’m just a sinner saved by grace.” This is something that we love saying and we mean it as a way to emphasize that there is no way to earn your way to heaven. That is absolutely true – salvation can only come by grace through faith. Too often, ...read more

Spirit-Control Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 20, 2004

Jesus calls the Holy Spirit (depending on your translation) a “Helper”, “Comforter”, or “Counselor” (vs 16). This title literally means one who comes alongside to assist us, working in and through us, encouraging us along life’s way.

“I Believe” -Sermon Series on the Apostles Creed “Spirit-Control” John 14:16-27 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts One phrase we hear a lot in church is a way of either introducing worship or ending a prayer: “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, ...read more

The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

Realities Trump Ideas Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 13, 2016

Ideas disconnected from realities give rise to ineffectual forms of idealism and nominalism, capable at most of classifying and defining, but certainly not calling to action. What calls us to action are realities illuminated by reason.

Thursday of First Week in Lent 2016 Joy of the Gospel St. Luke’s Gospel tells the same story about Jesus’s teaching on prayer, but instead of saying the Father will give us “good things,” Luke says He will give us the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, that is the gift that keeps on ...read more

The Feast Of Unleavend Bread (Matzah) Series
