Paul, continuing his discussion to the Roman church in the 1st century, describes the relevant truth that our salvation is by grace through faith alone, resulting in a transformed life that serves others. Gene Sherman
In the second half of the 3rd chapter of the book of Romans, Paul describes for 21st century believers (as well as 1st century) what it means to respond to that belief. By unwrapping the gift that God offers, Christians can know the joy and peace that only an authentic walk with Christ produces in us. Gene Sherman
Paul's letter to the Romans informs 21st century followers of Christ just as it did in the 1st century. Chapter 3 in Romans eloquently describes for the believer the advantages that we all have for those who place their trust in Christ. Gene Sherman
Christian life is in essence one of great joy. Isaiah 61 explains how we, as modern day believers, experience such personal joy through revival and mission. Gene Sherman
For many Christmas is a time for family, friends, gift exchanges, and feasting. For others, Christmas is a profound time of loneliness & pain. John the disciple tells us that that Christmas means far more than we could have ever imagined and this meaning is good news for all. Gene Sherman
In this service of Lessons and Carols, we rediscover the redemptive work of Jesus Christ throughout all of the scripture.
“As the journey of Advent continues, as we prepare to celebrate the nativity of Christ, John the Baptist's call to conversion sounds out in our communities. It is a pressing invitation to open our hearts and to welcome the Son of God Who comes among us to make divine judgement manifest. The Father, writes St. John the Evangelist, does not judge anyone, but has entrusted the power of judgement to the Son, because He is the Son of man.
Our hope is in the coming of the Lord! May hope and love dwell in our hearts this first week of Advent.
Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” (Mark 13:35-37)
We celebrate Christ as past, present, and future King over all the earth and at the same time we express our hope and our faith in that coming Kingdom. Yesterday, we looked back at this past year’s journey with Jesus. But we are also looking forward to our journey this coming year, as we express each week our faith in the transforming power of God at work in our world, and in our Church, and in our lives to restore all of creation to his purposes.
For this Thanksgiving week, let's focus on gratitude for all the blessings God provides us.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34
Stewardship Sunday is a time to put ourselves to the test. Each and every one of us has God-given talents to be used for His purposes. Talents symbolize more than money but not less than money. Let's open our hearts, minds, and our pockets to explore how we can use our talents to do God's work.
For All Saints Sunday Great Lakes Bishop Ron Jackson preaches a sermon informing the body of Christ that, as saints. all of us across the Westshore of Cleveland (and beyond) can do ordinary work with great love in building the kingdom of God.
9:30 & 11:00 am sermon included with 11:00 am beginning at 29:28
Upon the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing the infamous 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, Christ Church honors on Reformation Sunday the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther.
Jesus Christ plainly said, “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” (John 6:40)
In this week's sermon, walking through the basics of Christian belief, our focus turns to the belief of the Church. Gene Sherman
In the series of the Apostle's Creed, we arrive at the phrase "We Believe in the Holy Spirit". What is the Holy Spirit? What's it's role in the believer's life? And how is a biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit helpful in the believer's life? Gene Sherman
In the second message in our series on The Apostle's Creed, we focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ, God's son, our Lord.
Gene Sherman
In the first of a series based on the statements of the Apostles Creed, we look into the Christian belief of God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven & Earth. Gene Sherman
As the program year Kicks off, Christ Church returns to 3 services & we consider what we believe & why. This year, we consider how the Bible has influence in the Christian's daily life. Gene Sherman
Continuing his discussion from last week with the disciples, Jesus lays out the Priorities of those who would call themselves Christians. Gene Sherman
In going to Tyre & Sidon, Jesus is demonstrating to his followers what cross cultural ministry truly looks like and the atitudes we have ministering to people who aren't like us!
The familiar passage in Matthew's Gospel tells us much of the Identity of God, and of our role as disciples. Gene Sherman
The word "blessing" has various meanings in English, however in the Bible - it carries a profound meaning that has great relevance for our daily 21st century lives. Gene Sherman
Issac travels in a desolate Gerar demonstrating faithfulness to God even in the peaks and valleys of life. Gene Sherman
It is a common human experience across cultures that we all experience times of weariness & exhaustion - physical & spiritual. This week's text reminds us that a life of faith in Christ will bring with it a rest for our souls. Rev. Clay Huffman, St. George's Medina.
God forms his people through Jacob, the younger brother of Esau in this trailer of the next section of Genesis in our Series on Issac
Abraham's death & burial reveals to us a narrative of a lifetime of faith in God & how we might follow in Abraham's footsteps.
Christ Church Westshore returns for the next 4 weeks to the book of Genesis in looking at the life of the 2nd Patriarch Issac and how he and his wife Rebekah came together.
The disciples, after Jesus' ascension waited for 10 days for the Holy Spirit to come upon them Believers today can learn much from the disciples regarding the example of priorities in the Christian life and the mission to which we are all called.
In the final words of John's gospel, the apostle John records for us Jesus final discussion with Peter, so that we in listening in - would know what we too are signing up for as we walk in Christian service!
In order for us to start any task, it is the usual practice to warm up or do some basic drills; in other words - get the priorities straight, make sure that the fundamentals are in place. This week, Jesus not only makes sure Peter's priorities are in order, but restores him and commissions him for future work. In so doing, we too here in 2017 can learn much as Jesus' followers from this exchange to put our priorities in order.
In Jesus' 3rd appearance to his Disciples, Jesus teaches us unique and important daily lessons that we can use modern day disciples to assist us in our walk with Him. Gene Sherman
There are a variety of Christian Denominations that trace their roots back to the Reformation. It's interesting that both the Baptist & Anglican denominations share. Pastor Dave Skelton of Calvary shares those common beliefs as we all pray for a 3rd Great Awakening across the Westshore of Cleveland & beyond!
The Resurrected Jesus appears to 2 of his disciples on the Road to Emmaus. Sean Templeton
To have doubts is a normal component of being a Christian. The disciple Thomas tells us, through his encounter with the risen Jesus, how we might respond in our day.
The reality of Jesus' resurrection is the most important doctrine of the Christian faith. If Jesus is not raised - Paul would say that we are pitiful people. Our claim is based on history - not experience, and therefore by looking at the people surrounding the Resurrection account - we too can examine the history and decide for ourselves like the women at the tomb - He is Risen, or not, and if not - why not!
The Cross is the definitive doctrine of the Christian church. A proper understanding is crucial for every professing Christian. This message explains the Why, the Issue, & the Resolution of the Cross.
In this series in the Psalms throughout the Lenten series, we arrive at Psalm 98, a psalm of Praise that encourages the World to come to abundant life found in God alone.
In the midst of a modern lifestyle filled with hassles, stresses, and all kinds of struggles, we find in Psalm 91 a Prayer of Rest that helps believers find a life of true rest!
Every believer enters a season of spiritual aridity. Psalms 42 -43 assist us to come out of such seasons better than before!
In the midst of the various adversities, Psalm 34 assists us to look to God, who is with His people.
Confession is a critical discipline in the Christian life for a variety of reasons. Psalm 32 assists us to gain an accurate perspective of confession & how we can make our own repentance genuinely heartfelt and joyful
Jesus says that we are to pray for laborers to go into God's Harvest Field. Anna Curby is one such laborer whose intention is to depart to the nation of Hungary later this year.
