     | 374 views

    Gabriel: “I AM GABRIEL, and I bring good news. But you didn’t believe the gospel, so you’ll get to shut your mouth until the prophecy comes true.”

    Fourth Sunday of Advent 2024 Today’s Gospel just leaps out at us in the congregation if we haven’t any Old Testament background or have failed to read the earlier part of Luke’s Gospel. Zechariah and Elizabeth, up in the hill country of Judea, are childless, elderly members of a priestly clan. We ...read more

    Isaiah foresaw not only the Incarnation of the Saviour, but projected to His reign over the earth.

    “But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. “The people who walked ...read more

    When We Forget God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 3, 2018

     | 11,496 views

    God warns against forgetting Who He is and what He has done. The example provided is Israel during the wilderness wanderings. The message explores this concept, especially in relationship to the prayer life of Christians.

    “[Israel] soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.” “We want what we want; and we want it when we want it.” This ...read more

    St. Luke—the Turk, the brother of Titus, Paul's personal physician, the historian, and the Evangelist—witnessed Jesus's miracles from a medical doctor's viewpoint and called Jesus the "physician."

    Since COVID-19 gripped the world, the first responders such as paramedics, doctors, nurses, law enforcement officers and emergency department personnel have been hailed as heroes and heroines.

    Unexpected Events (Part 2) Series

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more

     | 6,262 views

    Is the Communion Meal Open to all who profess Christ? Or is it overseen by the congregation hosting the meal and thus restricted to those who are in open fellowship with the assembly? The message is a study of this controversial question.

    “In the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, for there must be factions among you in ...read more

    Study of worship as outlined in the Tenth Chapter of Hebrews.

    “Since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.

    New Testament Legalism Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 17, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,292 views

    Message expounds Philippians 3:1-7 explaining the problem of Legalism as defined by the New Testament. The ceremonial law in the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ and is not required of believers. The moral law is reiterated in the New Covenant.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is Philippians 3:1-7. Last week we talked from that text about the value of warnings. God warns us because He loves us. Like a loving parent He guides us away from danger into a meaningful life of blessings. To despise God’s warnings is one of the ...read more
