    Jesus calls the overlooked blessed, inviting us to trust God in our need and to love others radically, reflecting His kingdom in everyday life.

    Friend, if your week has left you weary, your heart hungry, or your eyes wet, you are in good company. Jesus knows the language of low places. He lifts His eyes toward the faces that feel forgotten and speaks blessing. He sees the empty pantry and the tear-stained pillow. He sees the moments you ...read more

    Responding to Sept 11th and a (minor) break-in to our church building, this sermon focuses on how live Jesus’ call to do unto others as we would have them do to us.

    Today we celebrate All Saints Day, when we honor those well-known saints of the church. And All Saints Day also helps us to recall those faithful departed who have gone before, people who have died in the faith from this congregation and in our lives. But All Saints Day also serves as a reminder ...read more

    Lesson 14

    Once again we need to be reminded that the Lord is in no way altering or changing the teaching of the Old Testament. It is not the Law per se that is under consideration, but the carnal interpretation of it made by the Pharisees. I. A DISCIPLINE THAT IS DECEITFUL A. The Pharisees Insisted on ...read more

    We continue our series on fruit of the Spirit by examining patience.

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is not part of my nature. I wish I could be that way but it just isn’t me. If there is one thing I struggle with - it is being patient. I’m the type of person who will ask God for patience but only on one condition - I WANT IT NOW. 2. Would you say that you are ...read more

    When we become Christian’s, some things need to and will change in our lives.

    INTRODUCTION  Last week we took some time out of our day to clean our closets out. As we cleaned out the closet, we examined each thing we found to see if we need to take it with us to our new address in heaven. Out were the disco shirts, the leisure suits, and the powder blue tuxedos and ...read more

    "Putting Out A Fleece" (Gideon) Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 21, 2002
    based on 104 ratings
     | 20,313 views

    Gideon’s asking for a sign has nothing to do with determining God’s will—God already clearly told Gideon what to do. Gideon’s fleece shows his doubt and fear and lack of trust. Gideon didn’t know his own strength.

    “Putting out a Fleece” (Gideon) Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “Actions have consequences.” This could be the motto of our times, and it certainly would apply to the period of the Judges. In both cases we see people living lawlessly, doing whatever ...read more

    This is sermon 3 in a series of 4 from Chapter 4 of Ephesians.

    Wearing the Family Name One of my favorite football stories is credited to Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers. It’s probably an urban or sports legend but I still like it...
