    We can be so obsessed with what was going on inside that fish that we can miss seeing the drama inside Jonah.

    Jonah, the Prodigal Prophet, ch 1:4-17 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts We last saw Jonah boarding a ship headed for Tarshish. He pays his fare, gets his one-way ticket, and settles down in the hold--thinking he has made it impossible for God’s will to ...read more

    This is the first of this year’s Advent series. It is an introduction of sorts that encourages God’s people not to miss the significance of the Christmas season.

    Introduction: You know it’s Christmas when… 1. You catch yourself checking your “to-do” list twice. 2. You’re ready to offer a cash reward to anyone who can find the Sears wishbook. 3. You’re willing to eat Christmas baking right out of the freezer. 4. You find yourself randomly humming Christmas ...read more

    The missing element in our Christian circles, and the cause of loose living and worldliness in the church the Lord purchased with His own blood

    THE FEAR OF THE LORD Dr. Russell K. Tardo I. Why Should Believers Fear God? Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is whole duty of man.

    We can be so blinded by the physical world that we miss out on God’s spiritual world provided for us!

    We are at the closing Chapters of our study of the Book of Daniel. What title do we give Daniel? Daniel was a prophet! The original Hebrew word for prophet in the Old Testament is “nabiy”, meaning a spokesman or speaker. And how do we know prophets spoke for God? God gave prophets visions and ...read more

    Flasks Of Oil!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 18, 2015
     | 5,393 views

    Alas, at the last minute the foolish ones ran out of stock and thus they missed the bridegroom and the marriage feast, and the door was shut!

    Flasks of oil! Mathew 25:4” the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.” Christian faith is disconcertingly shallow, as shallow as a puddle of water on a sidewalk these days! People daringly confess, “ I have no time for prayer, fasting or Bible reading! I’m just busy, ...read more

     | 5,693 views

    A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

    The so-called parable of the prodigal son is one of the—if not the—most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. God, it is pointed out, is like the father in the story. The beauty and power of this story is made very clear in the description and actions of the father. One of the dangers ...read more

    The disciples were focused on their status and not upon the love of God. What were the disciples missing, what should they have known?

    Jesus appeared on the beach as an intervention to keep the disciples from missing out on Pentecost and going off-the-track of ministering to the entire world.

    This is going to seem like a strange question, but how many of you have heard of “The Amazing Randi?” He was a stage magician, “mentalist,” and escape artist (in the tradition of Houdini). He once escaped from a block of ice and once escaped from a straitjacket while hanging upside-down over ...read more

    We don't want to miss the prompting of God. But, what is that like? And why in the world would God use pain?

    This is the 3rd message in the series called, "Kairos". Big Idea: We don't want to miss the prompting of God. But, what is that like? And why in the world would God use pain? A good pilot does what it takes to get his passengers home. A good example of this is the story of a ...read more

    The new Church Year is a time for us to look forward to new opportunities of service in the Lord’s kingdom.

    Advent I Isaiah 64:1-8 I guess I should apologize to you all. This is the point of the service where you are expecting to hear a sermon, and I don’t have one to give you. I mean, I figured "what’s one week?" You’ll survive without one, right? Besides, I already had one to do for Thanksgiving Day. ...read more

    The Haphakh phenomeon, the principle that man’s extremity is God’s opportunity, is illustrated by ten examples in Scripture.

    THE HAPHAKH PHENOMENON THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE Have you ever had an experience when you thought that everything was black and against you? You thought that there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Or, if there was a light, as one of Murphy’s laws indicates, it was the light of an oncoming train. ...read more

    The Christian can maintain a positive attitude in the face of trials because they provide opportunities to prove God's faithfulness.

    Why do you go through trials? If God really loves you, wouldn't he protect you from the bad things that everyone else goes through? We have many blessings because of our faith in Jesus Christ. Because of your faith in Christ, you know that your sins are forgiven. Your faith in the death ...read more
