    We see in Scripture that Jesus is the Rock of Ages: He is a stumbling stone, a foundation stone, and a smiting stone…

    “The Three Stones” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Introduction Jesus is the solid Rock on which we stand! God is often called a rock in the Old Testament, eg. Isaiah says “There is no rock like our God” (2:2). It’s also a Messianic title. We see in ...read more

    Following Our Call

    We all wait for that call from God, but what do we do when it comes?

    When we hear God’s call, but do not head. The reading this week is a little longer than last, but I decided it was important to read the entire first chapter of Jonah. Everyone is familiar with the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale, but perhaps not everyone knows why. As we can see ...read more

    The comparison of Buddhism and Christianity.

    Buddhism You Yourself Must Make the Effort Intro Unlike the Hindu religion, Buddhism can point to an individual founder and can look back to a date for its beginnings. Sidhartha Gautama was born a Hindu about 560 B.C., near the border of India in what is now Nepal. Tradition says that when he ...read more

    “the Dynamic Impact Of A Good Deacon”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Feb 19, 2014
     | 8,072 views

    In Acts 6, we see what kind of positive impact the effective ministry of the deacon can have on a local church.

    The early church was experiencing phenomenal growth, marvelous miracles, pulsating power, and unlimited blessings. Then, right in the middle of this success story, dissension arose. The Greek speaking widows were being neglected in favor of the Hebrew speaking widows. The Apostles said that they ...read more

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Dec 7, 2015
     | 9,578 views

    John the Baptist was an unexpected person bringing an unexpected message at an unexpected time. A communion sermon for Advent.

    Every one of us has certain expectations at Christmas. We expect to buy gifts and we expect to receive gifts. We expect the lights and the colors and the sights and the sounds of the season. We expect to eat a lot! We expect long lines in the department stores, and apparently this year more than ...read more

    A sermon about being Christ's Ambassdors.

    “Living a Missional Life” 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Ambassadors represent the values, culture and story of a place, in another place or to another place. For instance, an Ambassador might be a diplomat sent by a country as it’s official representative to a foreign country. And everything that ...read more

    Pentecost is such an important feast. It's really important that even though I'm unwell I make myself work really hard on writing a sermon... except that is the exact opposite of the message of Pentecost

    .............................................................................. For years I have driven cars with power steering. It’s just standard now. But I few years back I visited New Zealand and had to hire a number of cars - and one of them did not have power steering. I don’t know if you can ...read more

    The Foundational Role Of Apostles And Spiritual Gifts In The Church

    Contributed by Anthony (Tony) Charles on Jul 11, 2025
     | 486 views

    Brethren, let us open our hearts and minds to the Word of God this morning. We gather as the Church, the body of Christ, and it is crucial that we understand the structure and foundation upon which we are built. For without a firm foundation, no building can stand. And so it is with the Church.

    I know that America is not perfect, but I do believe that it is the greatest nation on earth. And part of the reason is because our forefathers acknowledged God & their dependence upon Him.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Psalm 78:1-4; Isaiah 33:22 Last week my message was entitled, “Let God be Praised!", which was based on Psalm 150:6, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise ...read more

    Isn’t It Grand? Grandparents Day!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022
     | 4,021 views

    Many churches observe Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, but very seldom mention anything about Grandparents Day.

    This is a very serious mistake, because in some ways, grandparents are as important as fathers and mothers to a child. Paul wrote to Timothy and he mentioned his grandmother. Look at 2 Timothy 1:5, we read, “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,176 views

    A topical Bible study on how the lives of believers will (or will not) be judged.

    This was a Bible study borne from a question the previous week. I had been taught that in heaven, "tapes" or replays of our entire lives would be seen "on a big screen", for everyone to watch. Apparently this was a new theology to my small but attentive audience, and they called me on it. So I did ...read more
