    This is part 3 in a series that will give our churches some good direction in being the kind of Jesus had in mind. In this message we look at 4 qualities of the kind of church Jesus had in mind.

    We are continuing our series today about the kind of church Jesus intended the church to be and we are continuing to learn how we can become that kind of a church. The church is people. What kind of people? It is made up of all the people throughout history who have accepted Jesus Christ as their ...read more

    This message is to remind us to grow in our fellowship with one another.

    We continue our 40 day focus on community. Last week we talked about our calling to reach out to others together. We are called to be mindful of opportunities to reach out with the love of Christ. That is a purpose God has for us together. The purpose we are focusing on today is fellowship. ...read more

    Pentecost--A Real Reality

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,311 views

    Sometimes we don’t realize how much we need Pentecost. Pentecost is the birthday of the New Testament Church. Pentecost is God giving His Holy Spirit to all believers, not just a few.

    Intro During the last ten days of the Church year, we’ve been living in liturgical limbo, existing between two realities. We’ve celebrated our Lord’s ascension into heaven. But since the Ascension, we’ve been waiting. We’ve been waiting for this day. Like the Apostles of old, we’ve been ...read more

     | 9,410 views

    We will be studying a topic that some have twisted so much that many are so afraid to go out on a limb they dare not even climb a tree. This topic: The Baptism of The Holy Spirit. Let’s study just the facts on this controversial topic.

    Introduction OK, so last week we spoke of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Believer, but you noticed some things were missing. There was no mention of the gifts of the Spirit, no mention of the fruit of the Spirit, so what gives? Doesn’t God want us to have these? Of course ...read more

    God wants to use us to make a difference in the lives of others.

    Acts 3: 1-16 Is our Christianity a failure? I am afraid that what many of us today call Christianity is failing because while addressing the proper way to behave, emphasizing Church attendance and tithing we have failed to offer people something that touches their heart. Something that stirs ...read more

    Things change, things happen, and things are different when God shows up. The question is, have I experienced the things which take place when God shows up in life?

    When God Shows Up Acts 3:1-10 * If this afternoon you were sitting in your house, the doorbell rings, you answer the door, and when you open the door – you discover Jehovah God has come calling; what would you do? How would respond? What would change in your day &/or week? It is true that God is ...read more

    God changes us so that the church can awe and bless the world.

    Scripture Introduction Driving home Thursday a provocative announcement on National Public Radio caught my attention. The Templeton Foundation was promoting a discussion of: “Does science make belief in God obsolete?” Such a question would not have been asked 50 or 100 years ago; we all expect it ...read more

    Your life can sparkle with the Spirit if you will let the Spirit live within you.

    Introduction: Today is the birthday of the church. We find the account of what happened in Acts of the Apostles, which perhaps should be called “Acts of the Spirit.” Newsweek magazine features a short column in which famous authors tell what the five most important books to them were.

    Becoming a Community Last week we began a series on the early church. A group of Christians that were on fire for Christ and who were committed to each other and to the spreading of the gospel, no matter what it took.

    Being Fillled With The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jun 3, 2008
    based on 18 ratings
     | 11,378 views

    As Christians we have the Holy Spirit but aren’t necessarily "filled" with the Spirit because we quench the Spirit’s work. Sermon concludes with an invitation to be filled with the Spirit, through prayer and annointing with oil.

    Have you ever thought to yourself: “I read the Bible and go to church, why don’t I see any positive changes in my life?” “Why am I still struggling with a particular sin or sins even though I keep trying to repent and give it to God?” “Why am I not seeing healing whether physically, spiritually, ...read more
