    God is close to each one of us, but not as close as He wants to be. The up close God wants you to get close to Him if you are willing.

    The Up Close God Text: Acts 17:16-34 Intro: After being chased out of Thessalonica & Berea for preaching the good news about Jesus, the apostle Paul spent a few days in the city of Athens. I’m not sure what Athens is like today, but in that time it was a favorite place for philosophers and ...read more

    Today there is a lot of talk, but very little evidence by way of demonstrating God's power

    To An Unknown God

    Our world is incurably religious and is filled with people on a spiritual search. We find it easy to talk religion, but our calling is to share our relationship with the living Christ.

    We are incurably religious! Wherever you go, you will find that people are religious. We are groping for something we never quite find. Ride with me up and down Sixteenth Street, here in the city, or out New Hampshire Avenue, past Colesville. The architecture is ample proof that people are ...read more

    Our discouragement over our apparent lack of success reveals our lack of faith.

    Our discouragement over our apparent lack of success in telling others about Jesus Christ, or in living our Christian life reveals our lack of faith. We must remain obedient to Jesus and continue to share who Jesus is, even in the face of no success. In our Scripture this morning, Paul, Silas and ...read more

     | 2,754 views

    This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

    People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more

     | 7,092 views

    The Word of God is to be our Source of Truth. What does the Bible say about sin? There are conflicting and confusing messages in the world today. This message is a reminder that the God who made us will enable us to live the life He has called us to live.

    What is the measure you use to determine the value of a message like the one you are about to hear? I mean, how do you evaluate it? Is the value in a message like this in the speaker’s ability to hold your attention, or to make you laugh, or make you cry, or move you some way emotionally? It is ...read more

    Don’t Check Your Brain At The Door!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2019
     | 4,271 views

    Christian faith is more rational than atheism because it recognizes the minute information we possess and the insuperable complexity and design of the universe and life forms. We rest our intellect on the intellect of God. What could be wiser?

    “DON’T CHECK YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR!” Acts 17:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE CHECKER (I was told this by a friend) 1. I went shopping at Walmart earlier today and got a sack of chicken legs. Right before the young lady rang them up, I asked her if they were front or back legs. 2. She paused ...read more

    Paul looked for ways to share the Gospel in a most unlikely place. He gave them something to think about!

    Our text is from Acts, chapter 17, and here is the background. Paul has left Philippi, as written in Acts 16, and now he’s heading to Athens after he had been in Thessalonica and Berea. He’s now there in Athens, which was the capital of thought in those days. Athens was one of the largest and most ...read more
