    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 25, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,738 views

    The healing of a man lame from birth, the preaching of Jesus' resurrection, and the call to salvation.

    HEALING, RESURRECTION, AND SALVATION. Acts 4:5-12. There is a parallel between the persecution of Jesus upon the healing of a man ‘blind from birth’ (John 9:1), and the persecution of Peter and John upon the healing of a man ‘lame from his mother's womb’ (Acts 3:2). Suffice it to say that ...read more

    Let’s rediscover the hope of the resurrection and how it applies to us.

    A look at the danger that comes with claiming that our conscience is the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong. We have traded blush on our cheeks for a shrug of our shoulders.

    GETTING RID OF SHAME: We frequently trade blushing for shrugging. - Jeremiah 8:12. - This is such a rich phrase here in verse 12 – they don’t even know how to blush. - Sometimes we act like the heart and conscience will always be a reliable artiber of what’s right and wrong, ...read more

    What should we do if we find a missing sheep? What should we do if we have misplaced silver?

    The Missing Sheep In verses one - two: Sinners, are the classification of people who were crossed or cast out by many of the religious people of the time. Publicans (tax collectors) were especially detested. Why were the Pharisees bothered and irate that Jesus related with these individuals? The ...read more

    This parable of Jesus tells us to: 1. Be Alert. 2. Be Prepared. 3. Be Filled.

    I can still remember the excitement and confusion in the 1980’s which surrounded the publication of a booklet by Edgar Whisenant, a former NASA engineer, entitled 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988. He sent his book out free to people all over the United States. There must have been ...read more

     | 6,000 views

    This sermon starts by looking at just how amazing it is that the word became flesh and then continues by looking at how truly amazing it is that since God was made a child we can become His children.

    Some times we do things that, well just aren’t too smart. In my case, this happens on a weekly basis. A while back, I heard a noise out near our trashcans and I looked out there to see a large raccoon digging for a little midnight snack. This had to be stopped.

    To be successful in life, you must force yourself to learn the things you don’t want to learn.

    Christ is coming back...He’s coming back at 7:00 pm tomorrow night! Now, we realize that this is an absurd statement, because no one knows the day or the hour of His return.

    Come, for everything is ready now. And there is no legitimate excuse to refuse.

    Dwight L. Moody once preached a sermon from this parable; something I’m going to tell you about at the end of this sermon. His title was “Excuses” and as a sort of salute to the great preacher I’ve given mine the same title. I’ve never seen his sermon so any resemblance in this sermon to his is ...read more

    There are ditortions and blessings of both law and grace. It is not one or the other, but a dance of the two.
