    Like Peter, we don’t always want to accept God’s choice for those we are to witness to. Let’s learn to witness to those who we feel aren’t good enough.

    There is a position of receptivity. This is not a physical position, but a "posture" within our spirit-man to receive impartation from the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately we often quench the operation of the Holy Spirit long before He has an opportunity to del

    This morning I’m going to attempt to compare the Game of Golf and the Christian Life. I have found that there are some good ways to help illustrate how we should live our Christian life, through this game we call Golf.

    God accepts ALL sorts of people in his family -- and we need to as well!

    Acts 10:1-48 We continue our study of the Book of Acts, and we now come to chapter 10. It opens with a Gentile soldier named Cornelius, who is told by God in a vision to send for Peter. Meanwhile, Peter is in another town and it’s late in the afternoon and he is tired and hungry. Someone starts ...read more

    Peter discovers that God has more in mind than just the people of Israel as he’s taken outside his comfort zone to share the gospel with Cornelius

    It’s a weird story isn’t it? Peter’s up on the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house in the middle of the day praying and he starts to feel hungry. So he asks the cook to prepare some lunch and while he’s waiting he falls into a trance. Perhaps the heat of the day has got to him. Perhaps he starts to ...read more

    Fueled by Philip Yancey’s What’s So Amazing About Grace?, Jesus’resurrection showed that God opened the door for oddballs and misfits.

    Acts 10:9-16 – From Lamb to Ham I’ve been wanting to preach this message for some time. And right after Easter is a good time to do it. Today I’m talking about one of the changes that Jesus made by His life and death. I’m talking about food. Now, our religion has very little to do with ...read more

    We are fortunate that the Holy Spirit has been poured out on us. There are many people that want to know more about God, but don’t know where to begin.

    We are fortunate that the Holy Spirit has been poured out on us. There are many people that want to know more about God, but don’t know where to begin. The Holy Spirit should be impacting our lives so dramatically that those who know us will want what we have. Regretfully, that may or may not be ...read more

    I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

    In our text Heaven opened to show Peter a vision from God of our world,both Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans. God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance.
