    Sermon to handle the increasing division over style of music in worship (contemporary vs. traditional). We sing for God’s benefit and not our own. Yet God continues to inspire us with a new song and styles of worship.

    In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more

    True worship presents a challenge to everyone who comes in the presence of God. Our Scripture today is one of the most difficult to understand in the entire Bible because the insinuations of the story can be unsettling. It presents a view of God which mak

    The Challenge of Worship Genesis 22:1-19 Camp Leach tells the story of some friends who took their 5 year-old grandson to church one Sunday.

    How do we enter into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will explore the intimacy of the Table found in the Tabernacle. We will examine what it means to sit at the table of shew bread where we come into a holy place and it forever change us.

    COME TO THE TABLE We have been examining Gods house – The tabernacle. In our last few messages we have examined authentic worship God’s style by stepping through the gates of the Tabernacle and slowly making our way through Gods showroom of special designed furniture for his house of ...read more

    Worship And Justice

    We deplore the loss of morality, the loss of civility, the loss of social stability - and yet how many of us recognize that those are only the deeper symptoms of a greater loss, the loss of our sense of accountability before God?

    Judah, the Hebrews’ southern kingdom, was big on denial. By 740 BC, when Isaiah began to preach, the brutal and ambitious kingdom of Assyria had amply demonstrated their intentions and abilities. They were bent on conquering Egypt, the prize of the Mediterranean, and had to conquer everything else ...read more

    It's easy to put on a show for others to see but is your worship heartfelt? Are you preoccupied with this idea that Jesus must be exalted through every facet of your life?

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    This message deals with the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, and the restoration of worship. Are there walls that need to be rebuilt so that we too can have "Worship Restored" ?

    “Worship Restored” Neh 1:1-4, Neh. 8:1-8 Our text is one of the most beautiful portraits of the people of God at worship in all of scripture.

    Worship satisfies. It gives us right priorities. More joy, peace, hope. When your blessings go up to God, His blessings come down to you.

    We are wired for worship! Several years ago a businessman here in Brecksville said to me, “I don’t like that word ‘worship.’ Sounds soft. It’s not for me.” Well, last week, we learned that worship is why we were created. It’s what gives us fulfillment. It satisfies. It gives us right ...read more
