    Taking the gospel to the end of the world required the Church to change. Each of us has the opportunity to change and grow until our very last breath. Every living thing must change to survive and fulfill its purpose.

    No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

    Ascension 2022 I polished up my Ascension Day homily last Sunday. Then I tore it up on Tuesday afternoon. Senseless, mindless murder down the road in Uvalde, a place many of us have visited or lived.

     | 1,567 views

    The Second Chapter of Acts describes the birth of the church in accordance with the declaration of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 16:13-19). Acts shows the power and direction of the Holy Spirit in the work of the church beyond the day of Pentecost.

    This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

    The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...read more

     | 5,389 views

    The power of the Holy Spirit deposited in the life of a believer cannot be fully exercised until the believer fully surrenders all to Jesus Christ. We don't need more power, we only need to surrender more to God to put the power in action.
