    Jesus brings light to the world by revealing the truth about God because he is the Truth of God.

    I guess you could say that there have been 2 great quests of the 20th century. Those are the quest for truth and the quest for freedom. The quest for truth in fact goes back to the last century or beyond, to a search for truth through scientific discovery. There was a belief then that we could ...read more

    Study in the High Priesthood of Christ and our response to His Priesthood.

    The High Priest Today is April Fool’s Day. I toyed with the idea of making some sort of ludicrous statement and then proclaiming “April Fool’s!” but decided against that since I don’t want to ever mislead you, even in a time of jest. But as I was debating on how I would begin the sermon, I ...read more

    Jesus draws a line in the sand, one the Pharisees couldn’t miss, and one which forces us to commit ourselves as to who we think Jesus is.

    “Who Do You Think He Is?”, Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Author Salman Rushdie authored a book critical of Islam, back in the 80’s, The Satanic Verses, and has been under a death sentence for blasphemy ever since, a judgment imposed by the Ayatola ...read more

His three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the ...read more

    Like father, like son. Yes it is true; however, we know that God supplies grace to break generational curses. Jesus desires us to be God’s children.

    Who’s Your Daddy? Three of every 10 births in the U. S. were to unwed mothers, according to a new report to Congress commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services. Out-of-wedlock childbearing is on the rise for adults as well as teenagers, and for women of all races. One social ...read more

    Whose child are you?

    I certainly do not want to imply any disrespect for one of the greatest hymn writers of the church; Charles Wesley, who gave us, among many others, such grand tributes to the majesty of God as “And Can it Be”, and “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” and “O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing”.

    According to Jesus, a person’s actions and attitude will demonstrate who he has as father.

    Few pictures from our family history speak more of family camaraderie than those of my dad with his 5 boys. I wouldn’t want to minimize Mom’s significance for a second, or fail to point out that my dad always said, “I have 5 sons, and each one of them has a sister!” But there’s something about ...read more

     | 6,960 views

    This sermon looks at eight of the “I Am” passages in the Gospel of John for the purpose of seeing what it was Jesus actually said about Himself. This sermon addresses Dan Brown’s claim that Jesus never really claimed divinity.

    Who Did Jesus Really Claim to Be? John 8:48-59 Introduction Here is another quote from Dan Brown’s, The Da Vinci Code: “Jesus was viewed by his followers as a mortal prophet… a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless. A mortal.” This is pretty much the general opinion concerning Jesus. ...read more
