Psalm 122 - Going To Worship Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Feb 3, 2021

This sermon is part of series on the Psalms of Assent. The focus is on how the Jews would joyously go up to Jerusalem for worship, and how we can experience the same joy in going to the local church.

The Greatest Name Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus is the greatest hero in history for the believer, for He was able to win a victory over the greatest enemies of man, and He gained a name that is above every name.

Here is a powerful story of a man who made a great name for himself and left a name that is long remembered. I quote another’s account: “World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. One day his ...read more

The Greatest Prophet Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

The Prophets say such high and lofty things, for they are speaking for God. Jesus, however, did not speak for God, but as God. He was the very voice of God, and when people heard His Word, they were hearing God speak, and not just His spokesman.

F. F. Bruce in his commentary on Hebrews concludes (Jesus) "is the prophet through whom God has spoken His final word; He is the priest who has accomplished a perfect work of cleansing for his people's sin; He is the King who sits enthroned in the place of chief honor alongside the ...read more

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

The work in Christ’s church will not get done in a hurry. We don’t even have a target date for completion. But this is what makes the difference for our church building: It’s the work of our Lord! It’s the church that Christ bought with his precious blood.

Are you a church builder? Do you see it as your responsibility to serve the church of Christ? To strengthen it, and to grow it? You should, because that’s the calling given to you by the Lord God! Sometimes we like to leave church-building work to the experts. We leave the physical aspects of the ...read more
