Ashamed Of Jesus?

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 9, 2017

In 1765, Joseph Grigg (1720-1768) of England wrote the wonderful words of the song "Jesus and Shall It Ever Be," which proposes several answers to the question, "Ashamed of Jesus?" The answers are various ways of saying "I will never be ashamed of him!"

Ashamed of Jesus? Things have changed much in this country in the last 40 years. I now find myself surprised when I hear the name of Jesus mentioned in a public setting. Not only have judges handed out rulings that restrict the mention and exhibition of things pertaining to the Christian faith, ...read more

The Cleft Of The Rock

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017

The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 18, 2017

This Christmas carol lists many things that make it the most wonderful time of the year. And while kids jingle-belling and parties and caroling are all fun and wonderful, the song fails to mention the one thing that truly makes Christmas wonderful-Jesus.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR The title of the sermon is taken from the popular Christmas song of the same name. The songwriter declares it's the most wonderful time of the year and then goes on to say why. The kids jingle-belling along with holiday greetings and gay happy meetings ...read more

"Friday Tragedy? Easter Triumph!”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 31, 2021

If the body of Jesus had decayed into dust within the borrowed tomb, we would not be singing the songs of Easter. They thought It was a tragic end to the “One” who had raised the dead. Tears told the sadness in their hearts. Resurrection shatters the grip of fear.

Posture For Worship

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Today I am preaching from a song that many of us like to hear. There is one part of the lyric that I really like, it goes like this, “O HOW HE LOVES ME. OH HOW HE LOVE YOU!”

It is an awesome thought to think that the God of this vast universe loves us with a jealous love. Oh How He Loves us!

The Day Of Reckoning Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jul 15, 2022

In Romans 2:1-5, the Apostle Paul presents three principles by which God will judge sinful humanity on The Day of Reckoning. He does so on the basis of: 1) Knowledge (Romans 2:1), 2) Truth (Romans 2:2–3), and 3) Guilt (Romans 2:4–5).

Romans 2:1–5. Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O ...read more
