    On This Rock (Part Two) Text: Acts 1:1 – 11 If you remember from last time we talked about how you can learn about something by looking at its origin or it’s beginning. And we’re looking at the Church. Last Sunday we saw how Jesus is the originator of the Church. He’s ...read more

    The greatest proof a non-believer can ever receive comes from men and women who are turned on to the Gospel! Turned on to the Word of God. It’s so easy to think, “O, it just the book of Acts or one of the other 65 books of God’s word.”

    Can you imagine what it would be like if the Book of Acts were missing from the NT? You would pick up your Bible and see the ministry of Jesus ending in the Gospel of John; next you would read about a guy named Paul writing to followers of Jesus in Rome.

    Ascension 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 5,340 views

    The description of the ascension of Jesus to heaven is an interesting one. It shows us how consumed we may be with the world and its values instead of being consumed with the Kingdom of God and the mission which Jesus gave to us.

    This coming Thursday is the day that some churches celebrate as Ascension Day because we know that Jesus appeared among His disciples for forty days after His resurrection and then He ascended into heaven. Normally we would celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven on the Sunday after ...read more

    At Pentecost, God enabled Jesus' disciples to do what they could not do on their own. God fulfilled Jesus' promise to spread the gospel to all lands, as the pilgrims heard the good news in thier own language. God calls us, too, to be his witnesses.
