When you stop to think about it…what brought us here today. Now I don’t mean by plane, train, or automobile, but what things in our lives caused us to be gathered today, and each Sunday before and after today?

"simon Says...." Part Two: Re-Thinking Possible Series

Contributed by Martin Wright on Jun 10, 2025

In part two of our "Simon Says..." preaching series we find Jesus challenging Simon Peter (and challenging us as well) to re-think what is possible with God's help. What might happen if you invited Jesus into your home, into your career, into your circumstance?

This sermon is about the various meanings of the word - Repent with primary emphasis on the idea of a "changed life" i.e, reorienting your story to God's story.

Last week we began a new series called What Shall We Do? Responding to What God has Already Done for Us. Really that question is a very biblical question because it comes out of the Bible.

Pentecostal Power Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The early church celebrated this day long before they did Christmas. If we are unaware of this day it is due to the lack of understanding of the place of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church.

One of the oldest festival days in history is the Festival of Pentecost. It was one of the favorites of the Jews for centuries before Christ, and it has been a significant day in the church for two thousand years. It became the third great Christian feast after Christmas and Easter. It marks the ...read more

Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more

Pentecostal Results Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Peter didn’t even give an invitation. There does not appear to be an invitation given anywhere in the early church. People were so moved by the Holy Spirit that they cried out for conversion.
