    Some churches are so focused on overseas missions that they miss the mission field in their own backyard. Jesus said we’d be his witnesses at home as well as abroad.

    Missions in Our Backyard QUOTE: Oswald Smith "The light that shines farthest shines brightest near home" Churches so focused on overseas they neglected their own mission - declined and closed!

    God is the Warrior who fights for His people. When we're operating on our own, we accomplish what talent and education and money can do. When we're walking with God, we accomplish what God can do.

    “Stopping the Sun” -Joshua 10:1, 5-14; Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts (28 Feb 2016) It turns out that D-Day wasn't “The Longest Day.” It was the Battle of the 5 kings! Here's how it began: Israel was deceived into making a ...read more

    Slave Series

    In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

    This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

    How does our singing in Church advance our mission and witness?

    Feast of St. Cecilia 2013 “Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.” Over and over, we read in the psalms, that our response to the saving power of God is to sing to Him. St. Augustine wrote that to sing praise to God is to pray twice. That’s so ...read more
