    Sometimes we need not be in such a rush to get out the door of the church but mediate and reflect on what you just heard and ask the preacher questions.

    Verse 41-43-How we get away from Jesus Notice Mary and Joseph were in hurry to get home. They did not linger there in Jerusalem. They had accomplished their religious obligation and did not want to hang around the church house any longer than they had to. (To eat Sunday Dinner. To watch the ...read more

    God calls each of us to serve in some capacity no matter our past. God opens doors for a new life will we enter?

    We are Appointed to Serve 1 Timothy 1:12-17 1. God appoints unlikely People to serve A. John Newton appeared to be a life who was unlikely to be a servant of Christ In a small cemetery of a parish churchyard in Olney, England, stands a granite tombstone w/ this inscription: “John ...read more

    Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,986 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...read more

    Good Works Will Not Save You

    Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 31, 2018
     | 2,780 views

    Nothing we can do on earth, except accept Jesus as our savior, is good enough to place us inside Heaven's door.

    Many theologians agree that the first biblical reference to a revealed truth of a coming Messiah is found in Genesis, chapter three, verses 14 and 15, “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon ...read more

    Strait And Narrow Minded

     | 1,081 views

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

    Jesus encourages us to pray regularly and faithfully. Why? How?

    8.18.19 Luke 11:6-13 “Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6 because a friend of mine who is on a journey has come to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’ 7 And the one inside replies, ‘Don’t ...read more

    Rolling Stones

     | 4,305 views

    One of major problems most people face today are blocked entrances or exits. You see, we’re caught in tombs with stones covering them, and these stones keep us from entering the light of an abundant life Jesus came to give, which is what the resurrection of Jesus is all about.

    Rolling Stones Mark 16:1-8 Now, I knew the danger of naming today’s study, “Rolling Stones,” because many of you immediately thought of the English rock band by the same name with Mick Jagger and the crew. Or maybe you also thought about the monthly magazine from the 60’s whose focus was ...read more

    The Ascension Series

    It was reported by official Soviet channels upon their entry into space in 1961 that the Russian Cosmonaut who first traveled into space said these words: “I went up to space, but I didn’t encounter God.”

    Jesus stayed on the earth for forty days after His resurrection. Now, forty days is a long time. If Jesus rose on March 27, this would place His ascension from earth on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). America has holidays that mark the birth of Jesus (Christmas), the death of Jesus (Good Friday), and the ...read more

    why we are the church here today

    Church 101: What the church is good for. John 20:19-23 Last Monday, I had the opportunity to visit Westminster Abbey out in Mission. It is situated in a beautiful location, high atop a hill.

     | 10,840 views

    A message that tries to connect the dots in Thomas' experience of moving from doubt to faith in Christ after the Resurrection.

    I want to extend a special welcome to those here today who have questions, who have doubts about some or all of the things that have gone on so far in today’s gathering. You see, most of what happens in a worship service, at any church, is really for the already-convinced. We sing songs that ...read more

    Easter Matters

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 13, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,696 views

    One of the results of the resurrection is we no longer have to live in fear. We could say it like this: When in dread, remember Jesus rose from the dead; He will come near when we are quarantined with fear!

    Easter Matters John 20:19-22 Rev. Brian Bill April 11-12, 2020 The very first Easter did not take place in a crowded worship space filled with singing and praising. On the very first Easter the disciples were locked in a house. Instead of sheltering in place, they were shaking in place. ...read more
