Sermons on Saint Francis:

Equipping Of The Saints

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023

Usually, each Sunday, I ask two questions, but today there are a few more questions: Why are you here today? Not here @ CPC, but here on earth? Why were you given this day?

Here’s what I believe: Because as Christians, God’s not done with you yet. Now, if you haven’t accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we’ll visit about that a bit later. Maybe you’ve asked yourself that question in a different form- Do I have a calling? Am I fulfilling my calling? What are my ...read more

Angry Saints Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

James does not say we are to eliminate anger. He says we are to be slow to anger. James is too realistic and practical to think that the saints will never feel angry.

Near the end of the last century a group of minors in a mid-Western state became angry. They expressed that anger by igniting a carload of coal and pushing it down the mine shaft. Like most who act in anger, they could not foresee the long range consequences of their action. When the burning coal ...read more

The Guidance For The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 21, 2018

As believers, we experience complete transformation in salvation, and yet our salvation experience is an on-going process. We are saved wholly of grace, but that does not absolve us from responsibility in our Christian walk.

The Guidance for the Saints 2 Peter 1: 9-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the conversation we began to consider a few weeks ago. Clearly, Peter is writing to the church – to those saved by grace and added to the body of Christ. While we are not saved by works of the flesh, service ...read more

The Gratitude For The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 28, 2018

The success of a pastor cannot be fully measured until after his departure. If he has equipped the church to continue in his absence, then his ministry will have been successful.

The Gratitude for the Saints 2 Peter 1: 12-15 As we continue to examine this first chapter of Peter’s second epistle, I am convicted and encouraged by the heart of this man of God. His love and concern for the church cannot be missed or overlooked. He is now a seasoned apostle and his focus is ...read more

The Gospel Of The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 4, 2018

Closing this amazing chapter, Peter emphasized the importance and great significance of the Gospel. Not only does faith in the Gospel lead unto salvation, but the Gospel should continue to shape and guide our lives.

The Saint In Depression Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Joyful Saints Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

A saint is not determined by what they are, but by where they are. If they are in Christ, that is the bottom line. The degree of holiness varies tremendously, but all who are in Christ are equally saints.
