For the past 10 years we were given the privilege to serve Michigan Heights Baptist Church in Stockton and now God has brought us here to serve Him through serving you.

    Baptism is an outward act, with visible elements, that is key to the inward attitude and acceptance into God’s kingdom.

    Baptism Before performing a baptism, the pastor approached the young father and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious step. Are you prepared for it?" "I think so," the man replied. "My wife has made appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and cakes for all of our ...read more

    The Bible often teaches and illustrates the doctrine of God’s providence; His providence should be a source of great comfort and instruction for every believer.

    “What rotten luck I’ve been having lately!” “I’m having a bad day!” “Oh, well, whatever will be will be, and there’s nothing that we can do about it!” You’ve probably heard people say all of these statements. Perhaps you’ve even said or thought something similar yourself at times. But all of ...read more

    Walking Headlong Into Trouble Series

    What do you do when you know trouble is coming? Do you run the other way as fast as you can? Paul didn’t and his example helps us when we face difficulty or when those close to us face trials.

    Did trouble take Paul by surprise? It shouldn’t have. Back in Acts 9, right at his conversion, Jesus made it clear to then Saul what his future would be like. He told Ananias, who was sent to pray for Saul, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings ...read more

    God over-turned and overcame the opposition of the Jews and the Romans allowing Paul’s worst time to become His best enduring legacy. Challenge - Can we, like Paul trust and obey God even when our best efforts for Him seem to initially fail?

    Turning Your Worst Times to Your Best Legacy (Acts 22) We see a lot of reality shows on TV today but perhaps my favorite is Bridezilla. It amazes me how what should be the best time of a young woman’s life turns out to be her worst legacy. The show chronicles the life and experiences of young ...read more

    The Centurion had purchased his freedom at a great price, but Paul was born free. Our freedom has been purchased at great price by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    Born Free Wednesday, July 2, 2008 By Pastor Jim May Acts 22:25-28, "And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

    INTRO.- Job 14:1 "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble." Eccl. 2:22-23 "What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless." WHAT ...read more

"My future," was the quick answer. "What makes it look so hopeless?" "My past." What’s the application or moral ...read more

    Baptism In the Teachings of Paul Acts 22:16 INTRO.: Story of Paul’s defense in Jerusalem: Acts 22:1ff. Paul emphasizes the role of baptism in his own conversion.

    From this text, let’s get some ideas about setting sail in life in order to accomplish God’s will. 1- We must set sail for our mission 2- We must set sail in regard to the Lord’s will

    INTRO.- Luke said, "We put out to sea." ILL.- Recently, we heard that Edward Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor, a cancer, but he’s not giving up. You have to give him credit for this. He’s continuing to do, to go about his business. And over Memorial Day weekend he even put out to sea and was ...read more

    Paul goes to Jerusalem and is arrested; is he doing the will of God?

    “Under Arrest” Acts 21:17-36 July 13, 2008 Could Paul have been wrong? Certainly, as I’ve repeated, he was a man, a man of flesh-and-blood, and he was not above sin! There are two points in today’s passage at which different commentators believe that Paul made an error. There ...read more
