    Expecting Miracles

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 8, 2023
     | 1,622 views

    We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

    Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more

    Jesus poured out everything–His knowledge, His dignity, His very human life-blood to the last drop on Calvary. He held back nothing so He could give it all to us

    An Easter Homily One of the first phrases out of St. Peter’s mouth on the Day of Pentecost, the day in which the Holy Spirit filled the disciples of Jesus and they broke out in tongues and prophecy, is “Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and ...read more

    We are not called to save our buildings, but to conquer Satan's domain. We are to storm the gates of Hell. But, how can do we do that and how can we shake the foundations of people's indifference and bring down the walls of their lack of faith?

    Walls Come Tumbling Down OPEN: About 1400 B.C. (1400 years before Jesus was born of Mary) Israel crossed the Jordan River, following Joshua into Promised Land. The first city that Israel that came to was Jericho, and archaeologists tell us that Jericho was a massive fortress-city with walls as ...read more

    The Jesus Message For The Guilty Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 20, 2023
     | 1,187 views

    This is the Jesus Message to the Guilty. If you’ve ever felt guilty - you’ve asked that same question. The Bible is full of examples of men and women who disregarded God in order to follow their own willful ways. They were captive to feelings of guilt and remorse.

    The Jesus Message for the Guilty      Acts 2 Introduction The Day of Pentecost is one of the most important events in Bible. -It is the birthday of the church. -It is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. - It presents the promise and hope for an ongoing presence of God in the life ...read more

    Persecuted: Why? Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,213 views

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    The Spirit's Work and Mind Intro: A. Luke writes a gospel account of the life of Jesus, and then gives us the sequel, the early beginning of the church. It is in the book of Acts we are introduced to the Holy Spirit at work guiding the church leaders and be at work in all disciples of ...read more

    Various churches have various teachings and various practices concerning baptism. But that does not mean that the Bible does not provide us with a good understanding of the will of God in the matter of baptism.

    Pentecost sums up the gospel with simplicity and audacity: Jesus Christ offers salvation to all, and the church exists to proclaim it.

    “United for a Purpose” Acts 2:1-21 Pentecost. What is Pentecost? I’ve had many long-time church members over the years who weren’t familiar with what this day is about, and it is an incredibly significant day in the life of the church. It ranks up there close to Christmas and ...read more

    Why are their disagreements concerning baptism? There should be agreement. The scripture is clear concerning the need for baptism. Let's look at the basics of baptism.
