    Most of you know the Easter story; We know the timeline: Jesus came into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday – riding on a donkey and everyone singing and praising God, shouting Hosanna and waving palm branches.

    Psalm Steps>> “Why Worship?” Psalm 122 -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts I spend a lot of my time talking to people who don’t go to church. I’ve heard all the flimsy excuses people give for not attending worship. One I hear a lot is, “There are too ...read more

    Many have said that tithing has been done away with, and that it is for the Old Covenant only. They say it has no part of the New Covenant, and that it is legalistic and holds us in bondage. I would like to take a look at this from a Biblical perspective,

    A sermon looking at why we pray.

    A mother and her children were taking a tour of New York City and were in awe of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The children were especially curious about the votive candles at the front of the cathedral, so the mother invited each of them to light one.

    A look a the concept of tithing from Melchizedek on.

    We don’t know a whole lot about him, and what we do know is buried in mystery. We know that he was the King of Salem, we know that he was a priest of the Most High God, we know that he had a funny name and we know that Abraham thought enough of him that he made an offering of ten percent of ...read more

    Why tell the shepherds that a baby is born?

    Why the Shepherd’s? I chose today’s scripture on purpose for today’s sermon. We don’t often consider all of the different aspects of the Christmas story, so I want us to think about the story from the eyes of someone else, from a different angle. When we think of the shepherds we think of men who ...read more

    Paul is adamant that the preaching of the Cross is central to the Gospel and what is should mean to believers.

    There’s a striking phrase in St Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (6:14). When we come across that sort of statement it can be helpful to ask the question, “Why did Paul write like that?” To ask ourselves, “Why the ...read more

    It gives an idea of what Praise is all about, and the reasons to praise and also the ways to praise.

    WHY PRAISE? Praise is a very common word that is used widely especially among the charismatic Christians, cause when they see someone, they greet them with the phrase “Praise the Lord,” often times not realizing why they would say and what they would mean. That is why I want to consider this ...read more

    This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. For most people it just means that the Christmas buying season is in full swing.

    When we are asked to do something we don't want to do, our response is usually, "Why Me?" This is a short homily for a Sunday service following the choir cantata.

    Why Me? Luke 1: 26 - 38 Intro: Have you ever been asked to do something and you ask the person, “How am I going to do that?” Maybe you’ve been chosen to do something and you ask, “WHY ME?

     | 6,515 views

    There are many opinions about "church membership", but what does Scripture say? If we are to grow in spiritual maturity, we must be connected in a local body of believers.

    In our basic training, we have studied salvation, the church, surrender and lordship. Today, we move our study toward the expectations and responsibilities of those who have been saved and are surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ. You can get a membership to just about anything if you are ...read more

    Everyone prays, Christians pray, sinners pray, heathen pray but not many results are seen. We want to learn to Pray and get Results.

    Why Pray? We have been in a study of Prayer. We were interrupted by Christmas and the New Year. I believe that we need to learn how to pray so that we can see results. Many Christians have prayed for years and cannot tell you for sure that “GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS”. Everyone prays, Christians ...read more

    Paul now shows the inferiority of the covenant of law-first in regard to 1) Its Purpose (Galatians 3:19a), then in regard to 2) Its Mediator (Galatians 3:19b-20), and finally in regard to 3) Its Accomplishment (Galatians 3:21-22)

    On October 31, 1517, a young Augustinian Monk, schooled in the law, named Martin Luther, posted 95 Theses of concern to the church door in Wittenberg Germany.
