    A sermon that attempts to interpret the ascension of Jesus for the believer today.

    Taken up before their very eyes Acts Chapter 1: 1 - 12 I once knew a man whose family had been very successful in business. One of the principles that he had learned had been – buy in bulk. The sound principle he had been taught meant that if you bought a lot you got it at a better price and, ...read more

    What Stands In The Way?

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, Jesus has provided the church everything we need to accomplish His Will in this world.

    How many of you here this morning have had someone close to you die? (raise hands) I don’t think there is another crisis in life quite like that one. When someone that you have spent your life with is taken away from you, there is a tremendous void, a gaping hole that for the rest of your life will ...read more

    A little different take on the Ascension, using the words of Luke: "all that Jesus began to do and to teach"...giving special emphasis to the sequence, First Do...then Teach.

    Sermon Preached by Pastor Larry C. Brincefield on May 23, 2004. Title: First Do…Then Teach Text: Acts 1:1-11 Introduction 1. Many people are quite familiar with the death of Jesus Christ … • And His resurrection… • But people aren’t quite as familiar with the Ascension… • The Ascension of ...read more

    How was the early church able to grow so fast and steadily? They believed three key truths: Jesus is Risen, Jesus is Ruling, and Jesus is Returning!

    If this sermon is helpful to you look for my latest book, “The Greatest Commands: Learning To Love Like Jesus.” Each chapter is sermon length, alliterated, and focuses on the life and love of Jesus.

    As Christians we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit….. And as His Church, we need to be Spirit filled and led as we work for the Kingdom.

    The Power of the Holy Spirit Pastor Glenn Newton June 6, 2004 AC 1:1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his ...read more

    The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is not a ritual but real; it is the coming of a Person. It is not about a program but a power. It is not about propaganda but witnessing.

    Jesus gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem…” • They need to wait. No time frame was given but they were called to wait. • Apparently this is really important. They need to receive the gift the Father has promised – the baptism of the Holy Spirit. • They are not to leave the city until ...read more

    I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

    The Unhindered Gospel in the Hindered Church A 20th century philosopher, Gamaliel Bradford, once said that “Life is hope triumphing over experience.” In those words, he summed up 20th century optimism. He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more

    Men who are witnesses must be witnesses in the place that they belong, in the places where they become, in the place that is beloved, and the place that is beyond.

    “Men as Witnesses” Acts 1:1-8 Indeed let me take this opportunity to thank our Pastor Rev. Vernon Dobson who challenges us all by demonstrating the words of Paul, “let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: … but made of himself of no reputation, and took upon himself the form of a ...read more

    God wants to empower the church today with the power of the Holy Spirit so we can become the Supernatural Church He intended us to be! We saw an amazing outpouring of God’s Spirit in this youth meeting.

    How would you know if a revival happened? The best place to look is in Acts--a tiny group of peasants and slaves had no political, economic, cultural or religious power, but within three centuries the Christians were the only ones keeping the world togeth

    The Great Awakening prevented the French Revolution from happing in England. As a result, social healing took place. The rich became just and generous with their resources. The poor became more self-disciplined after conversion. Britain abolished the slave trade. There were lots of reforms, ...read more

    We need to expect God to expand our vision and be ready to embrace the call on our lives to do kingdom work.

    These past three weeks we have focused our messages on discipleship. The first week Pastor Tim so adequately, and literally, unpacked for us the story of Elmo, I mean Thomas, the imperfect disciple and how Jesus accepts us and knows us for who we really are – our good and bad. The 2nd week I ...read more
