When young people walk into a small church and discover the pews scarcely populated by elderly members, their first thought might be to look for another church because nothing is happening there. That may indeed be the case, but often there much to learn from the elderly. They have a depth of experience, especially in spiritual matters, that the young would do well to heed. Watch as Pastor MacLaren speaks of two elderly saints in the Temple who said some very profound things when the baby Jesus arrived at the Temple with Mary and Joseph. Perhaps you should hear what they had to say as well! This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, on December 28, 2014. First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.

The keys to successful marriage as revealed in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12: "TWO are better than one and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."

God want's Just to keep it real

with Fr. Timothy J. Cusick, Pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church, Jacksonville, FL

God has left us a gift, at Christmastime and always, Jesus, Emmanuel, (God with us). Pastor Jeff shares the blessing of knowing God is with us and will be with us, no matter where we are.

Math 1:18-

Birth of Jesus
Who have you told about Christmas

Christmas lights bring us into the time and spirit of Christmas.

What is Christmas? Have you shared Christmas with anyone? on the job? out shopping?

Are you only a shopper? Is it because you wore red and black on Christmas Sunday?

Have you only bought into the commercial holday only and not freely celebrating Christ.

Christmas about the birth of Christ

Math 1:16

"Christ" is Jesus' title and not his last (surname) name;

the birth or the beginning of the Christ

The Christ is the Messiah- a virgin conceived

First and only time ever that a virgin had conceived without sexual relationship with a man

During times of Herod birthday celebrated by having someone killed

Jews distinguished birth of male vs female child; 41 days the woman not allowed in the temple after birth of male child; 66 days the woman not allowed into the temple after the birth of the female child;

A sacrifice of two turtledoves was offered when the mother was allowed to return to the temple

Rom 14:5-6
Extend every day the same; birthday is not a special day during first 3 centuries

Celebrate the going out (death in Christ) and be sorrowful at coming in (born in sin, shaped in iniquity)

God built men to handle the pressues of life, so Joseph knowing that Jesus was not his baby chose to put her away privily, wanted to help Mary out until he heard from the angel of the Lord

Jesus named because in Hebrew tongue meant God is salvation,

The message, "When Presents And Signs Make No Sense." This funny and insightful message will bring fresh joy to your Christmas.

Are you walking dead?

The Spirit is alive. Adam and Eve were the first to sin. Cain followed in sin when he slew Able. We have to learn to do our best for God the first time. "Dead" is listed 386 times where alive is listed 81 times in the Bible. A lot of people are walking dead, we should be walking in Christ Jesus to be alive. We are in the world, but we are Not of the world. Sin will bring you death. But if you have Jesus in you, you are Alive. We owe the flesh nothing. But we owe Christ Jesus everything.

Romans 8:1-16

​ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

condemnation - 1. the expression of very strong disapproval; censure.
"there was strong international condemnation of the attack"
synonyms: censure, criticism, strictures, denunciation, vilification;

Carnal minded - 1.pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the-body, its passions and appetites; sensual:

Long suffering - 1.enduring injury, trouble, or provocation long and patiently.

Mortify - cause (someone) to feel embarrassed, ashamed, or humiliated.
"she was mortified to see her wrinkles in the mirror"

"I'd be mortified if my friends found out"

The Lord was able to deliver Israel from the bondage and slavery of Egypt, without any swords being lifted in the air or any battles being fought. So it is for us today! Victory is assured if we will follow and obey! Who needs and army when you have Jesus!?

Romans 5:6-14

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
