“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glor

11 While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement. 12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, wh

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded th

And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” Then he said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your n

Did any one of you get up this morning and say to yourself: “I want to be a servant today.”? Probably not, although several of you will be servants today, and, in fact, some of you have already been servants this morning. The question before us this morning is this: “What Is A True Servant?” The true servant possesses an unsatisfied appetite for doing what is right – having a passionate desire and drive for justice. An unsatisfied appetite simply means that we are constantly

Many books have been written these days on the subject of “How To” do a certain task or event. How to do a multitude of everyday things. Examples: How to Do Just About Anything: A Money-Saving A-To-Z Guide to over 1,200 Practical Problems by Reader's Digest (Editor) How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie – How to Write Your Own "How-To" Book These show the way to do a certain thing. And, when we think about it, the Bible is also a “How To....” book. “Enter thr

The question before us today is this: Who is the Greatest? Jesus answers that question as recorded in Matthew 18:1-5 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of

The Church is only the Church when it exists for others...not dominating but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others. —Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1 Peter 2:1-10 Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lor

Yesterday, the United States of America celebrated its 250th milestone, marking 2.5 centuries of victories, struggles, prosperity, and hardship. We thank God for the freedoms we enjoy: the opportunity to freely worship, along with many other blessings bestowed upon our country. 250TH BIRTHDAY OF AMERICA: OUR HOPE IS STILL IN GOD Although millions of Americans today place their hope in material possessions, which become their gods. But, that is what our nation is built upon –

Very often, it seems that life is one long uphill struggle. We finish one difficult period only to go into another one. One battle after another. I’m sure most of us have heard someone say that when you become a Christian everything in life will be better. There are no struggles, no trials – everyday is perfect. It is true that everything changes for the better – your attitude, your values, your priorities, and so on. But very often in Scri

The Greatest Gift to give a father on Father’s Day is the same one that is the best gift to give a mother on Mother’s Day. God Himself tells us that greatest gift in His Word in the 5th Commandment. Honor your father and your mother. God gave us the 10 Commandments to instruct us how we should live – how we should live toward Him, and how we should live toward one another. Honor means to regard a person with great respect, to esteem them, or to give recognition to them. Honor

But some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you.” Acts chapters 24 and 25 cover one of the most vital truths and teachings about standing firm in our faith and proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord in the face of

PRINCETON CHRISTIAN CHURCH ACTS 4:1-12 June 7, 2026 Acts 4:1-12 As they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them, being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them and put them in jail until the next day, f

What happens to a person when he or she neglects to consider the Lord Jesus Christ in their life? That person brings judgment on their life as they fail to give Jesus Christ priority in their life. When God is banished from a person’s life, his life fits the description of the life given here in the Scriptures. A most terrible description of a most terrible person. Look at the dreadful things which enter a life without Jesus Christ: 28 And just as they did not see fit to ackn

Some years ago, an American economist wrote in a national magazine and said: “The health of the American economy depends upon the ability of the American consumer to take on more debt.” Now, I am no economist or financial wizard, but that statement sounds a bit off. It totally runs the opposite to what we read in Deuteronomy which says that anyone who owes to another is the slave of that person. Paul, in one of his writings reinforces that truth – and, in fact, plainly writes

INTRO.- Today we are here to worship the Lord and honor our mothers. Not only are we commanded to honor our mothers; it’s also the sensible and loving thing to do. Many of us here today would love to still have our mothers living, so we could honor them in person as we remember them and love them. ILL.- A six-year-old boy, separated from his mother in a supermarket, began to walk around the store yelling out: “Martha! Martha! Martha!” That was his mother’s name,

Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the Lord is coming; Surely it is near, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations. A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The la

“Blessed are you, O Israel; Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord; Who is the shield of your help and the sword of your majesty. So, your enemies will cringe before you. And you will tread upon their high places.” Deuteronomy 33:29 Those words, of course, were written to the people of Israel. In the Christian age today, we might rephrase this verse to read like this: “Who is like you, O Christian, who are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ?” The life that is lived in Jesus

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not re

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas
