Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms.

Two Kinds Of Appearances

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

Your Stuff, Is Yours. Your Neighbor's, Your Neighbor's (Exodus 22:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 23, 2022

God expects his people to keep their hands to themselves. And God knows that property rights are part of the bedrock of what makes societies function.

One of the main topics discussed among my coworkers over the past year or two, has been inflation. All of us are constantly feeling the effects of it. Everything costs more. We find that we save a little less every month than we used to. We find ourselves reexamining what we buy, and thinking ...read more

" A Fruit Called Goodness"

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Oct 7, 2021

Third in the series based on the "Fruits of the Spirit". Being Good is not the same as "goodness". Goodness is about the character trait of righteousness.

Sermon # 4 - The Power Of The Early Church Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 30, 2023

The early church was dynamic and turned their world upside down because they possessed certain characteristics. If we want to see revival in our churches today, we too must follow their example.

We have been considering God’s promise for His people from Act 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We will consider in detail the life of the early church, and see what we ought to do, in order for the Lord to fulfil this ...read more

Journey Through Acts (Part 4) Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Jan 16, 2024

Sermon # 4 - Called To Do Good For Evil Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 31, 2024

How do we respond to the good and evil that is done to us? There are many ways we can respond, but God’s word teaches us the right way, and it is the way Jesus exemplified for us.

We read in Numbers 22:12, And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
