  • It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 18, 2017
     | 6,042 views

    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.

    We need tradition to guide us, but often our traditions lie in the past fifty to seventy years. Our tradition should reach back further; like 2000 years ago! The anchor for our traditions should be in Jesus, not the inventions of men.

    This evening we’re going to discuss the topic of “tradition.” If you have ever seen the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” then you probably recall a rather large Jewish man singing about tradition throughout the entire performance. You may recall that tradition was a dreaded word to the young ...read more

  • Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

     | 3,216 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 20, 2025
     | 73 views

    In this chapter, we read about the Lord Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees yet again, and of His mercy to a Gentile woman whose daughter was possessed by a demon.

    Coming from Jerusalem, the Pharisees asked Jesus why His disciples did not perform the traditional ritual of washing one’s hands before eating. This ceremony had been established by the “elders” and had nothing to do with hygiene alone, but was instead an elaborate ritual that involved not only ...read more

    Are we truly free or still in bondage? Let’s learn that being saved from sickness and bondage to vain traditions are somewhat similar. Let’s discuss healing, slavery to man-made religious rules and freedom in Luke 13:10-17.
