    The Win Of Worship Series

    based on 16 ratings
     | 9,357 views

    Worship satisfies. It gives us right priorities. More joy, peace, hope. When your blessings go up to God, His blessings come down to you.

    We are wired for worship! Several years ago a businessman here in Brecksville said to me, “I don’t like that word ‘worship.’ Sounds soft. It’s not for me.” Well, last week, we learned that worship is why we were created. It’s what gives us fulfillment. It satisfies. It gives us right ...read more

    Jesus invites us to "Watch, stay awake". As we watch, we are invited to see through the eyes of Jesus. Watching helps us to see the hope in the midst of terror.

    Easter And The Savior Of Today

    based on 48 ratings
     | 5,606 views

    Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

    It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more

    Reformation Sunday. As in Luther’s Day, those who will kill the church are those who have no hope for its future, no respect for its past, and no presence in its present.

    Near the Tower of London there stands an ancient parish church called "All Hallows". Just inside the wall enclosing the graveyard at All Hallows there is a large sign, placed so that tourists leaving the Tower may read it. The sign at "All Hallows" cites a bit of history and then raises a pointed ...read more

 Ministry relevance - 1 Cor. 4:2 (minister must be found faithful) and 1 Tim.1:12 (We’ve been found faithful so He has put us in ministry), Pr.11:3 (Erin will read).
