    A devotional talk prepared for a men’s breakfast about how the Holy Spirit tries to communicate with us if we allow Him to. I also invited the men to share "Holy Nudges" that happened to them.

    “Holy Nudges” (Inspired by Article written by Clark Cothern, Discipleship Mag. Mar./Apr. ’08, Issue #164, p. 57-59) An example of a “holy nudge:” At one point in my previous ministry in Santa Fe. Tx. I remember getting a repetitive urging to call on a man named Larry who was attending our church ...read more

    Some opportunities will not be presented for the second time in our lives, so is this opportunity when the lord speak to us might not be repeated again, so I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity

    Revelations 3:6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’ Matthew 6:14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

     | 1,288 views

    Holy Spirit is no more the property of a few prophets, saints but for everyone who seeks him. Though He is unseen by the World but experienced by believers, he took the form of Dove, the form of fire, and the form of flames of tongues.

    Text: Acts 1:1-8 Theme: The Power of the Holy Spirit.   Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever!   Introduction: The Holy Spirit of God is introduced in the Old Testament with several occasions severally.

    Saul was an unusual convert, to be sure. But perhaps he can serve as an example of the things the new believers go through when they come to Christ. And we can also find out how we can encourage them by reaching out like Barnabas did.

    Passage: Acts 9:19-31 Intro: There are times in our lives when we undergo dramatic change. 1. moving, starting a new school, a new job. 2. many factors in these changes, but one of the most powerful is the change in relationships. 3. separate from old friends, perhaps struggle to make new ...read more

     | 31,907 views

    Jesus saved us to live a wild and adventurous life. But how can we do that? We're not apostles like Peter and John were. We don't have their courage and experience. We're just common ordinary folks... or are we?

    OPEN: When we first started this series, I sang the chorus to “Born To Be Wild” (by Steppenwolf). This morning I want to sing for you the 1st phrase of the first verse of that song: “Get your motor runnin' - Head out on the highway. Lookin' for adventure and whatever comes our ...read more

    Storms… they are part of life. And here in our text, Paul faces some storms. And through this time in Paul’s life we can find the anchors which held him firm during those storms.

    You know, the Bible is packed full of some really great stories. Stories that tell us history like the creation story. Stories of love like the one we find in the book of Ruth. Stories of war are scattered all over the Old Testament. Stories with drama like the lives of Joseph and David. ...read more

    Do we bypass people with the good news about Jesus because we think they wouldn’t be interested because they are not like us in the way they dress or talk? How to pull down the barriers that keep us separated from people who are unlikely friends.

    A difference of opinion between them lead to each going his separate way. Barnabas went to Cyprus, and we hear no more of him in Acts. Paul remains the focus of attention as he returns to Galatia and then embarks on a new enterprise.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 19,767 views

    The Book of Acts gives the model of what an on-fire N.T. church should look like. Philip's revival at Samaria has four distinct signs of what should drive and characterize an awakening. If you want revival, then have a look at the real deal!
