    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 1, 2023
     | 1,710 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.

    Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025
     | 785 views

    I think, as followers of Jesus, just like the first disciple, we find ourselves wondering why God would leave us all alone … abandoned. But we are never really along … God has surrounded us with His family, the church and given us a great promised gift.

I first noticed it when I saw that the traffic lights weren’t working but I didn’t think much about it until I tried to stop into CVS to pick up some batteries. One of the clerks met me at the door and explained: “I’m sorry we have no ...read more
