We all face giants of one kind or another. God shows us through David's confrontation with Goliath the principles for slaying giants we all face for God's honor. Hope you find this a blessing.

What is the proper place of fear in a Christian's life? As Peter writes, "If you call God your Father...then conduct yourselves with fear." In other words, we should fear God because "he redeemed you." We are not to take his commands lightly- otherwise we will face him as judge.
What has Easter changed for you? Have you been changed by Easter? In the letter of 1st Peter, verses 3-5, Peter writes about three promises in our spiritual healing that the resurrection of Christ brings to us.
The notion that the church should be open to welcoming the sinner into its midst without requiring repentance is not correct. God's position on this is laid out in scripture. Lev. 10: 1-10 states how God regards those who come before him offering profane things. This is also recorded in Ezekiel 44: 23
The difference between what is holy and what is unholy is knowing what is of God and what is not of God. The result of offering something unholy to God is that his name is profaned; Ezekiel 22:26
An unrighteous, unrepentant person cannot offer anything to God and hope to have it accepted. God regards this as noted in the passage; Isaiah 65:6
Remember the evil son who is to be stoned to death? Duet. 21:18-21 What abnout the sin of Achan after the battle of Jericho? Joshua 7:7-13.
God is serious about his OWN people and sin. So why allow someone in the midst of the assembly who is not even saved and refuses to repent?
Why has mankind insisted on making a "house" or temple for "God?" Every human culture throughout history has shown a belief in some sort of deity, and has constructed temples in which that deity is to be worshipped. Modern people might think that they have escaped that past by their faith in secularism and humanism, but they have onlly substituted one "supreme being" for another. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows through the sermon of the first Christian martyr how the true God cannot be confined to such temples, and can only be met in worship through Jesus Christ. This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, PA on April 13, 2014. First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.
A momentous development for the future of global Christianity sprang from the testimony and death of the first Christian Martyr Stephen. No longer would the Christian mission be limited to the confines of Palestine. Now it would begin to extend to the nations of the earth. Pastor MacLaren's sermon is based on Acts 8:1-13 and was present to First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, on April 27, 2014. First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.

Pastor E Dean, preaching on our 1 Peter reading, tells us some of the benefits of Suffering, that life troubles can make us “bitter or better” and that we have a living hope in our Risen Christ.
Whenever we remember something, especially that which is good, it encourages us to have hope. On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Jeff encourages us to "Just Remember" in particular the Word we heard. God has already spoken to our current situation. For more information on the ministry and other videos, visit www.ongoodground.org Download this for FREE on I-Tunes.
