    Caiaphas

    WHO’S IN CHARGE? (MATTHEW 26:57-68) My wife and I loved legal dramas, especially the ones we watched when we were in the States, such as Law and Order and their spin-offs and The Practice. I read that good legal dramas must focus on the cases, and not the lawyers. Also the best legal dramas ...read more

    The final question which it leaves with us is this: Are you really changed by your contact with Jesus Christ and are you still changing? Everyone in this congregation in one way or another has had a contact, a touch, with Jesus, has heard his voice.

    Opening illustration: A certain man went to Church one Sunday. He frowned when the organist missed a note during the opening hymn. He gave a mean stare at two teenagers talking to each other when the congregation was at prayer. During the Scripture readings, he kept looking impatiently at his ...read more

    Christmas is supposed to be the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year," but for many it generates conflicts, sadness, loneliness, stress, etc. What's God's prescription for beating the Christmas blues?

    BEATING THE CHRISTMAS BLUES Mt. 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are a lot of things Dads don't typically do much of around Christmas -- like shopping. 2. A little girl noticed this and asked, "Is it true that Santa Claus brings us our Christmas presents?" Her Mother said, "Yes, that's ...read more

    Taking The Journey

    God’s call to take the journey to worship the newborn king isn’t just for those born to privilege, or those born in the church. It isn’t just for pastors, scholars, and religious leaders. No, God’s call to worship is for anyone who will listen.

    OPENING STORY An old king sat uncomfortably on his throne, fingernails dug into well-worn grooves in the wood as he waited nervously for the mysterious travelers to approach. All Jerusalem was abuzz with the rumors that these men were searching for a new heir which had just been born, yet neither ...read more

    How are we as Christians to view money. What do we love more, God or money. Jesus has some direction about where our treasures should be.

    Who Do You Love Matthew 6:19-24 We have been walking through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount together over the past several weeks. We took a break for Palm Sunday and Easter. We last talked about prayer and the Lord’s Prayer. I want to say a quick word about fasting before we get into ...read more

    God uses many ways to preach to us: Noah's Dove, Balaam's Donkey, Elijah's Ravens, Simon Peter's Rooster, the Disembodied Hand, Abraham's Ram, and the Angel of No More Time. See what they say to us!

    SEVEN STRANGE PREACHERS Matt. 24:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Baby on the Way 1. I heard the humorous story of Loann Burke, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant. She was meeting her husband at a restaurant, and she arrived first. She waddled up to the hostess. "One for dinner?" asked the ...read more

    Peter and experienced fisherman was trying to endure a bad storm, yet he went from fear and terror to hope and encouragement in an instant, and we can follow likewise, by keeping our focus on him and on success.

    “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen.

    Make a deliberate investment decision to spend your time, money, effort and attention on the things that last. And what lasts? Loving God, and loving your neighbor.

    Last month I had the fun of deciding how to invest the profit of the sale of my New Jersey house. And it was fun, and I think I’ve made good choices. But my track record is nothing to boast about. When I cashed in a chunk of my IRA for the down payment on that same house, I told my broker that I ...read more

    This message is mostly Scripture, no explanation is needed to see the love Jesus brought to the world. Jesus was the Author of true love. He loved us so much he sacrificed the glories of Heaven to be born as a baby on this earth.

    LOVE ONE ANOTHER John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

    Rahab: Remember The Name Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 30, 2022

    Read Hebrews chapter 11 hall of faith. Where is Joshua? Where is Caleb? They did not make the hall of faith list. Rahab the harlot did. She is a great Old Testament hero of the faith.

    Rahab is a harlot, a prostitute. In the footnote of my Bible it says that she is possibly the innkeeper. No, that is not a possible interpretation, and I will mention why a little later. When we come to the book of Joshua we come to a new era for the people of Israel with a new leader: Joshua. ...read more

    A rock and roll band called “The Beatles,” came to America during the early 60’s. I could never understand why, but they became famous around the world.

    This sermon will explore the importance of humility in God's eyes, the dangers of self-righteousness, and how we can strive to embody God's humble nature in our own lives.

    Welcome church! I am excited about today’s message because we are going to learn something important about God and his eternal nature.
