    Some believers seem stuck in spiritual infancy; the author of Hebrews urges them to advance to the "meat" of Christian faith & doctrine and start discipling others.

    “On To Maturity” Hebrews 5:12-6:12 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts For a young couple, there’s nothing more wonderful than the birth of a baby. But as much as the parents and grandparents love to hold that bundle of joy, it’s their desire that this ...read more

     | 14,372 views

    Although we live in troublesome times, and life seems fragile and irksome, we are not alone in the universe. Greater is He who protects us than the forces of evil around us. Evil may appear to prevail, but God will have the final word.

    “Dwelling in Dagon’s Den”, I Samuel 5. Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts I saw a cartoon last week about the popular PBS Antique Road Show. A woman brought in the Ark of the Covenant, and the appraiser gasped, “Where in the world did you get that?!” The ...read more

    God calls His children to become more like Jesus through answering the call to discipleship.

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,688 views

    Forgiveness is a Christian Ministry that God has given the injured and the one who caused its wholeness.

    Mahatma Gandhi said, “the weak finds it difficult to forgive, because forgiveness is an attribute of the strong. But the strong that can and does forgive needs to know that their forgiveness comes from a place, a person, a strength, a power far stronger than them. Reinhold Niebuhr says, ...read more

    Without Unity, the church will lose it's light. It will no longer be able to show the light of Christ to a lost world.

    THE NEED FOR UNITY We are told that the church is to be salt and light, a beacon to a lost world. But we will lose our light, our mission if there is not unity in our church. Let us look this morning at how Jesus wants his earthly body, the church, to function. But first let us pray. Prayer 1 ...read more

    Given the fact that everything we know and cherish is based on the fact of Christ’s death, the phrase “Christ died in vain” is a devastating statement.

    Introduction. Given the fact that everything we know and cherish is based on the fact of Christ’s death, the phrase “Christ died in vain” is a devastating statement. Is it actually possible for Christ to have died in vain? Yes it is. We’re going to see, with the “help” of the erroneous religious ...read more

    A lot of us are reluctant to preach on giving. Churches are often criticized for their financial appeals, yet giving is an act of discipleship, devotion, and worship.

    A minister wanted to impress his congregation with the need to increase giving. He described extensive repairs required to overhaul the sanctuary. Just as he was about to ask the ushers to come forward for the offering, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit a man square on the head. ...read more
