  • Jesus Saw...

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday Morning Worship

    Type: Minister Sermon

    Speaker: Philip Strong

    There is a difference between merely looking at or even observing fully and really stooping/bending down get a closer look and really seeing something (these distinctions are taken from Greek words translated by the NASB as "looks" {katanoeo} in Jas.1:23-24 and "looks intently" {parakupto} in Jas.1:25).  Thus one can mere "see" (observe or notice) or "really see" (to discern fully).  In this lesson we endeavor to "really see" what Jesus "saw"... that is, those of whom He took particular notice that we may do likewise.

  • "Problems in the Church"

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday Morning Worship

    Type: Minister Sermon

    Speaker: Philip Strong

    If you tell me there are "problems in the church," then I can tell you the cause and how to correct them.  Am I brilliant, insightful, or wise?  Hardly!  But I have preached for about four decades now, and have had some experience with "church problems" in that time.  It's really not all that complicated.  Give this lesson a listen/look and see what I mean...

  • Building on a Good Foundation #6- On What is "Good" Nation Founded?

    Series: N/A

    Speaker: Philip Strong

    Tomorrow (July 4th) we will celebrate the very foundation of our nation.  So, this sixth installment on our theme for this year ("Building on a Good Foundation") explores an important related question: "On what foundation(s) should a nation be built that will allow it to be “good” and last throughout time (cf. Matt.7:24-27)?"

  • "Losing Your Faith"- What It Really Means

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday Morning Worship

    Type: Minister Sermon

    Speaker: Philip Strong

    While it is true that we don’t always mean what we say, (e.g. “I’m sorry” or “I love you” or even “I mean it”), it is also true that don’t always say what we mean (“I could care less,” “hot water heater,” or even “Slow Children at Play”).  This latter problem, of not saying what we mean, is usually the result of ignorance or lack of careful attention to our words, cf. Matt.12:36; Jas.3:2.   However, this tendency is not limited to our mundane and inconsequential speech; it also creeps over into how we try to express ourselves spiritually... like when someone mentions "losing faith."  This lesson explores, in blatantly candid fashion, what that phrase most often really means.

  • "Easy" and "Light" Christianity?

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday Morning Worship

    Type: Minister Sermon

    Speaker: Philip Strong

    Question: Do you really believe what Jesus said in Matt:11:28-30?  Do you believe the "yoke" of Christianity is “easy” and the "load" is “light”?  Jesus said it was- do you believe Him?   Does being a Christian make you weary instead of providing "rest"?   Does it feel like a hard "yoke" and a heavy "load" to you?  If it seems more hard, heavy, and wearisome than easy, light, and restful, then one of two things is true...
