    Our hearts need to be convicted again of our sin of placing Christ on the cross. Your sins put Him there, but you can be forgiven in the same matter that the people on Pentecost were forgiven.

    RELIVING PENTECOST: THE CONVICTION ACCOUNT THEME: RESPONSING TO THE CONVICTION OF OUR SINS. TEXT: ACTS 2:36-41 Year ago there was a large controversy over a movie. The fighting was intensive.

    How did God get a self-sufficient, highly educated pagan and atheist to change his life around? And what do we need to know and do to take part in this miracle of conversion that takes place with men like Phil Robertson?

    OPEN: ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP4r4sXmqmo] - from "time marks" 4:48 to 8:45. We opened the sermon with this video cut from a CBN TV interview with Phil and Kay Robertson.

    Saul was formerly a ’Preacher of Hate’. He was once a Religious Terrorist! After his dramatic conversion Saul, like us, was a forgiven sinner. He received a Jesus welcome into the Church from Ananias and Barnabas. That’s the Church God wants!

    He was once a religious fanatic and a religious terrorist at the same time. He was once a preacher of hate. There was a time when he was “breathing out murderous threats against followers of Jesus” (9:1). Saul! We heard last week that Saul’s conversion was as dramatic as the transformation which ...read more

    In this account, Eutychus attended church in order to worship God, but he wound up dying right there in the preaching service! Do you think that you could trust God, or His Son, Jesus Christ, in a situation like this? Paul did!

    At my first pastorate, during the middle of a funeral service, the floor to the sanctuary gave a loud pop like lightning striking, and then it fell about six to eight inches! The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more

    Joshua shows us God’s faithfulness and warns us about the dangers of failing to trust him. We are so much like Israel it’s scary.

    Who’s word do you put the most trust in? There was a sign in a store that said, “In God we trust, all others pay cash.” As Joshua’s life comes to a close he calls all the people of Israel together for one last charge to encourage them and attempt to solidify their commitment to the Lord. Among ...read more

    His name had been Saul, but that - along with his entire life - was changed when he met Jesus. What changed him and what can we learn from his experience?

    OPEN: There is a story about a little girl who proudly wore a shiny cross on a chain around her neck. One day her preacher noticed how proud she seemed to be of her pretty cross, and said to her, “Honey, don't you know that the cross Jesus died on wasn't beautiful like the one you're ...read more

    This sermon is based on Chapter 9 of Charles Swindoll's book, Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit, by Charles Swindoll. We discuss the fact that like Saul and Barnabas, we need to be ready to obey when God calls for the changes in our lives and ministries.

    Introduction: A. I want to begin this sermon with a statement from Peter T. Forsythe. 1. I believe he was right on when he said, “The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom, but its Master.” (Warren W. Wiersbe, The Integrity Crisis, Thomas Nelson Pub., 1991, p. ...read more

    Sin is more than an outward act, sin is a STATE OF MIND. Sin is much like a dandelion you can fight it your whole life and it tends to spring up again and again. Sin starts as a seed of thought and roots from there.

    WHAT MOTIVATED PAUL We live in a world where a lot of people don’t believe in God. But not only that, many people who do believe in God are not exactly passionate about telling those who don’t believe in God about him. What will motivate us to tell people about Jesus?
