    Proper 16 (A). We are fashioned by Christ, who is the rock and cornerstone. Therefore we look to Him instead of to our effort, to be the living stones of His church.

    Proper 17 (A) We are lost in sin and lost in ourselves. But Christ has redeemed the world. Therfore, those who lose their old selves shall find themselves in Christ, who is Life indeed.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Keepers, Weepers, Losers, Finders” Jesus tells us that to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, and take up our cross. Now, whatever ...read more

    You Can Be Sure About The Church

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 26, 2015
     | 4,378 views

    There are a lot of churches out there to choose from. Jesus only promised to build one, He only bled for one, He only died for one and He is the head of only one. Since Jesus established only one, how can we be sure we are members of that one church?

    Recognizing the Church (You can be sure part 2) Jesus promised to build only one church. Matthew 16:18, "and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Jesus shed His blood and died for only one church. Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, ...read more

    An Easter Message that takes a different slant on Christ preparation of the disciples. It calls us to boldly embrace and share the power of His resurrection.

    The gates of hell no longer have a hold on you! Matthew 16:13-19 Easter Sunday 2015 Dr. Jim Bohrer Gates are all around us. Some gates protect a garden, a yard, perhaps a store.

    Son Of The Living God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 11, 2014
     | 11,462 views

    Who do men say that I am? This is an awesome passage showing that the knowledge of who Jesus is comes from only God Himself. This is a grand statement on the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Verse 18 however has been hijacked and the truth must be told.

    This week was the beginning of lent. Lent was based on a 40 day fast that some people did in the early church attempting to emulate the 40 day fast of Jesus that took place immediately after His baptism. Over the years it has become connected with the 40 days preceding the resurrection of Jesus ...read more

    This is the reworking of a sermon I wrote several years ago. The Church is: 1. The church is a fellowship. 2. The church is a family. 3. The church is a flock. 4. The church is a body.

    What Is The Church? Our text today is found in Matthew chapter sixteen. Follow along with me as I read: "Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, ...read more

    What is Jesus talking about here when He speaks of the Keys of the Kingdom? Why would He give them to Peter? Acts 2:14-41 partly answers these questions.

    Matthew 16:19 – Part 1 - HOW TO UN-IMMOBILE THE IGNITION OF YOUR FAITH Such a small and frustrating devise! How can my day be determined by something so insignificant? Yet when it has no life, I am stranded! I discovered this yesterday, and also that the shop over the road does not stock ...read more

    A study about the church and a challenge to be a part of it.

    Two friends were coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed one of the friends by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The person replied, "I'm already in the Army ...read more

    The church is not an organization but an organism.

    Many people try to fit the church into a mold they think is best suited. In other words, they try to force the church in to a function they think will fit within the framework they have established. The one size fit all pattern does not work for the church. The church is not rules regulations and ...read more
