    Contributed by Daryl Bahn on Nov 3, 2001
    based on 114 ratings
     | 9,476 views

    Jesus’ Beatitudes are a splash of frigid water in the face of the self-righteous, but a cup of refreshing water for God’s forgiven saints who are weary of the ways of the world. (All Saints Day, 2001)

    BEATITUDES—MORE THAN SKIN DEEP (Matthew 5:1-12) The Beatitudes are like a splash of ice-cold water in the face of those who are self-satisfied and full of themselves. The Pharisees, for example, were wealthy, successful, powerful, and very religious. They thought the coming of the Kingdom of God ...read more

    Marriage And The Church

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more

    Masturbation, The Spiritual Battle Against The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 3,707 views

    Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.

    I was asked about masturbation and what I thought of it. He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

    This sermon calls upon each of us to examine what we are devoted to. Is our devotion to God in good order? Is our devotion to family as it should be? Or are we devoted to self?
