based on 8 ratings

Dr. Wood used this sermon to show his listener that the first church was totally consumed with God and they did great things in His power. Unbelievers cannot understand the happenings of Christianity until they give their heart and life to Jesus Christ.

Too often, we have a tendency to stare up into the clouds waiting for Jesus to doing something amazing when the whole time He wants to be doing amazing things through us.

Over the last few months we have learned a lot from Nehemiah and the Israelites as they rebuilt the Jerusalem wall and reestablished the city. Tonight, we are going to turn away from Nehemiah and begin looking at a new book of the Bible. That book is Acts which is the fifth book of the New ...read more

David's Prayer Life

Never forget, verse 14 tells you why they were able to experience ...read more

The Holy Unscheduled And Uncomfortable Spirit Series

based on 7 ratings

Often time we approach God and the Holy Spirit the way we do a doctor’s appointment. We pencil him in when it is convenient for us. That is not how God works though. He works on His time and he is often uncomfortable.

In the book of Luke, we find an interesting dialogue between Jesus and a few men as they make their way to Jerusalem. One of the men tries to make himself look and sound good to the others as he exclaims to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus, knowing the man’s heart, looks at ...read more

Satan does his best to thwart the plans of God and the preaching of the gospel, but he is a defeated enemy because God has anointed the church with the Holy Ghost and fire!

DON’T MESS WITH US DEVIL By Pastor Jim May One of the marks of a true church and of a true Born Again Child of God is that they have power at their disposal beyond anything that the world can produce or that Hell can gush forth. In Acts 1:8, Jesus said these words to the disciples before He ...read more
