    If we are going to have the power of the Holy Spirit in operation in our lives, we must first get "plugged in", "turned on" and "fired up" with Jesus.

    Plug into the Power By Pastor Jim May (This sermon references a video that was purchased from Sermonspice.com that depicts a young man using a chainsaw without starting it.) Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both ...read more

    Certainly, every believer should live a life that is respectful but there is more. It’s the "more" part that is so often lacking.

    Powerlessness: Unbalanced & Unnecessary Introduction: Think about this quote for a moment: "I’m not impressed with anyone’s life unless they have integrity. But I’m not happy with their life until they are dangerous!" Many believers have made it their primary goal in life to be well-respected ...read more

    Jesus Calls Us Into His Mission

    As with the Apostles, today’s Church is called to be the Church in mission. This short sermon also emphasises that we must not ’star gaze’. We are simply to be involved in God’s mission.

    Sadly as I preach this morning there will be ‘preachers’ stating that Jesus did not ascend vertically into heaven; and whilst I will not today have the opportunity to challenge such false teachers let’s remind ourselves of this: After appearing to the disciples “many times in ways that proved ...read more

    Benefits for believers of Christ in His ascencion.

    1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that ...read more

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more

    Some churches are so focused on overseas missions that they miss the mission field in their own backyard. Jesus said we’d be his witnesses at home as well as abroad.

    Missions in Our Backyard QUOTE: Oswald Smith "The light that shines farthest shines brightest near home" Churches so focused on overseas they neglected their own mission - declined and closed!

    Life can get tough at times. The enemy is always trying to destroy us. Sometimes we need a fresh filling of Gods spirit. It empowers for life and mininstry. We can be overcomers.
