    Preached for the first anniversary of Salem Gospel Ministries, a church for French-speaking Africans. Like the Christians of Antioch, you fled persecution, you reached out beyond your own group, and you have learned for a year from your pastors.

    What a difference a year makes! Just one short year. Just twelve months. It is not long, but it can make a difference. It can be one year toward eternity. Just one short year ago I was still in my 60’s, but now I have started a new decade! Adrien and Barbara, I hope I do not show it too ...read more

    In this sermon you will study the life of Barnabus. Barnabus is described as a good man. This sermon will cause people to rethink their definition of "goodness."

    Have you ever known anyone you would describe as “a good person?” A person is described as “good” based upon varying criteria. For some it means a person of integrity. For some it means a person who treats their neighbors kindly. For some it refers to a person of upstanding moral character. ...read more

    Sometimes Christians suffer because of their faith, but God is able to deliver and make it right.

    Religion and Politics Acts 12:5 INTRO.: A man once said "I guess no one should talk about religion or politics." I informed him I disagreed since my livelihood involved talking about religion.

    One of the greatest desires we have as a people is to go through things that are uncomfortable & still be comfortable.. Peter shows us in this text just how to do that.

    Acts 12:1-7 Ushers, let the worshippers in that they may hear the word of the Lord. You may be seated in the prescense of the Lord. Amen. I want to take a strange twist on this text this morning if I may. Many of you have probably heard this text preached before in terms of being delivered or ...read more

    This message looks at the problem in Acts 11:1-18 of those in the early church focusing on the wrong aspects of what took place there.

    Sometimes we as Christians can get all bent out of shape over the smallest, most insignificant things. You might think that it has something to do with today’s “drive thru” culture but you would be wrong. In fact, today we will see that it goes all the way back to the early Church. That is why I ...read more

    Do you often think that because God doesn’t answer prayer quickly that He is not going to answer at all? That doesn’t matter. Don’t be surprised WHEN He answers your prayer.

    This sermon follows the progression of Acts 11:19-26 and identifies 10 things we should be aware of today. I used train illustrations with the 10 words.

    There are 10 stops along the tracks. (I used train related illustrations for each of these words) 1. Dispersion – v. 19a – Sometimes life takes us in many different directions just as it did in the early Church. 2. Exclusion – v. 19b – Often we like the early Church miss the point that the gospel ...read more
