    Jerusalem Alone Series

     | 10,231 views

    The story of a 12 year-old boy left behind in Jerusalem by his parents? Sound familiar? Almost sounds like a Christmas classic movie! Not exactly. This is the story of the Son of God, knowing who he was and why he was here.

    As I read through the account from Luke 2 which you heard this morning of how Jesus was left behind by his parents in Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but think of what has become classic Christmas movie, “Home Alone.” If you’re not familiar with the movie, it’s about a boy around the age of 10-12 ...read more

    Learn the three most important attitudes that usher the worshipper into the presence of God

    We continue this morning with our mini-series on the topic of worship. Last Sunday, we studied Psalm 135 and saw God’s revelation for worship. God revealed Himself to us, and our healthy response is deep reverence for God. We saw that God is good in His choice and care for us, and that He is ...read more

    If you are not living a totally blessed life it may be because you are not fully obeying God’s commands to honor your parents. If you feel that you may be one of these, forgiveness, grace and strength is yours for the asking.

    Honor Your Father and Your Mother Some of us have a harder time feeling like honoring our parents because of past and present abuses. Yet, God did not make a mistake in giving us the parents we have. Evidence of that is giving by the truth in Psalm 139: "You made all the delicate, inner ...read more

    This message makes a passionate plea to ministers to consider the importance of christian education in their program of evangelism.

    It is a tremendous honor to speak to this great Assembly this morning. I can think of no greater honor than to be chosen to preach the Word of God at the Assembly of the Churches of God of the Mountain Assembly. Nehemiah 2: 18-20, "Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me. As ...read more

    You can tell what’s important to someone by reading their Facebook. But what’s important to you? What would be the most important thing you’d post on your Facebook? Would it be Jesus? If so, how can you do that effectively?

    OPEN: On the way home from church a little girl who said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking.” The mother said, “Oh! About what?” The girl replied, “Well, my teacher this morning said God is bigger than we are. Is that true?” “Yes, that’s true,” the mother replied. “He also said that God lives within us.

    Bent Out Of Shape

    Jesus knew that rules are important, but he knew that the needs of people are more important. You and I need to learn that lesson as well. Whenever we see someone in need, the most important thing is to help them, no matter when or where it may be.

    To help you understand the importance of the reading we just heard from Luke’s Gospel, I’m going to do something unusual. I’m going to bend over. As you can see, this is not a very comfortable position for me. I could easily stay bent over like this for a few minutes, but what if ...read more

    Being with Jesus seems to change people. Incarnation is an important to God's plan

    Fill it to the rim The direction of our sermon time in this New Year is being guided by a mnemonic device…a simple memory aid, a word that I hope that we can all use to help us to listen for God as individuals and as a church. The word is based on the idea that the prophets of God ...read more

    The first petition of the Lord’s Prayer encourages us to enter into God’s presence with the boldness of children approaching their loving parents. It also reminds us that our lives are instruments of God’s holiness.

Almost everyone (98%) says they believe in a divine being, but only half of the people say that they worship on a regular ...read more

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon!

    In my 67 years of life, I have learned that the things that you really want out of life must be worked for. My parents had a great marriage, and I wanted that for my life.

This year we celebrated our 46th year of marriage because we chose to work at making our marriage work. In ministry, I had this idea when God calls a ...read more
