What Are You Holding Back

Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 13, 2019

What keeps you from giving everything to God? Check out two sets of people who were following Christ and made two different decisions about their lives, causing two different outcomes.

This morning I want us to look at two sets of people: one set held nothing back from God, and God used them to change their world and ours too. The other set, not so much. Because they kept something back from God, their lives came to a quick end. Before we look into the lives and circumstances ...read more

"Had Been With Jesus”

In The Name Of Jesus

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on May 24, 2021

Today’s text is a real life drama. It is after Jesus had been crucified, raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. The players in this high drama are the disciples of Jesus, a lame man, the people in the temple, the priests, the religious leaders and of course God.

When we come to the scriptures it is important that we open up our hearts and minds to hear from God. As it is His truth and His love story to us. Therefore let us surrender to Him all our emotions and thoughts. Father by your Spirit as we come to today’s text give us fresh eyes to receive a ...read more

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

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
