    Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These are not mere traditions, or symbols to be ignored, they are divine acts of obedience and remembrance that shape our lives as followers of Christ.

    Living in Obedience: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper Introduction Today, we are going to explore two sacred practices—the ordinances that our Lord Jesus Christ Himself commanded His Church to observe: believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These are not mere traditions, not symbols to be lightly ...read more

    On being hungry and thristy for true revival.

    This morning we heard read to us from Jesus’ words of prayer for His disciples in JOHN 17. He prayed the Father that He would “SANCTIFY us by the truth”. This is the next great theme we are coming to in our series on the things “We believe . . .” the great theme of SANCTIFICATION. God’s great ...read more

    What does it mean to have a life that ’sings’ for God? How does one sing for God through the song of Tradition?

    In a single word (Father) from the Model Prayer, Jesus conveyed deep truths (From Red Letter Prayer Life by Bob Hostetler, chapter 5 with same title). Taught to a Sunday School class

    HoHum: What have you asked (and received) from your father or mother that you would never ask from any other person? WBTU: I’m just Dad to them- no reason to put on airs with good old dad. Believe it or not, that is the sort of attitude Jesus urges on His followers. This is fundamental to the ...read more

    Have you worshipped demons lately? Perhaps hung out with evil spiritual forces? No? The Corinthian Christians didn’t think so either, but Paul had a different perspective.

    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 2,046 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

    Good morning, my dear family in Christ. As we gather here today, we find ourselves on the precipice of a journey, a spiritual expedition of sorts. We are here to seek understanding, to seek clarity, and to seek the divine wisdom that comes from our Heavenly Father. Today, we are going to talk about ...read more

    The Yoke And The Burden

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2013
     | 6,656 views

    What does it mean that Jesus imposes a light yoke and easy burden?

    The short passage we just heard from St. Matthew can be interpreted on many levels, but I’d like to focus on what the original meaning probably was. The image given is of a pair of oxen, tied together with a heavy wooden yoke, and harnessed to a plow. Jesus promises a yoke that is easier, ...read more

    When we respond faithfully to those people God puts before us, we will also fulfill part of God's purpose for our lives---and we will be worshiping God in a faith-filled manner.

    We all know the story of the three wise men who came to see the baby Jesus after he was born, but did you know that there is a story about a fourth wise man? The story says that he left with the other three to follow the start in search of the baby Jesus. Along the way he was constantly distracted ...read more

     | 221 views

    In this chapter, we read about the Lord Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees yet again, and of His mercy to a Gentile woman whose daughter was possessed by a demon.

    Coming from Jerusalem, the Pharisees asked Jesus why His disciples did not perform the traditional ritual of washing one’s hands before eating. This ceremony had been established by the “elders” and had nothing to do with hygiene alone, but was instead an elaborate ritual that involved not only ...read more

    Shows the ways in which our lives can be pleasing to God: repentance; genuine holiness from the heart; and offering our lives as a sacrifice to God.

    When I was studying for this sermon, I found it very interesting the emphasis put on the sense of smell in Scripture. When we think of the most important senses, we may think of something like sight or hearing. In fact, if you had to give up one of your five senses, it might just be the sense of ...read more

    A Labor Day and Communion message, dealing with the sources of satisfaction in work. Designed for audience participation.

    Labor Day, and school is starting again. I wonder, do they still do the same things as when I was in school? Do they still have the same rituals? Maybe not. Things do change. Dodgeball, for example. Now that was THE game in my day. You had the right to throw the ball as hard as you could and ...read more
