  • What Can I Do Next?

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Apr 9, 2021
     | 2,342 views

    The early church was ready for action asking what can we do next?

    What can I do next? Acts 4:32-35 1. Early Christians greatest desire was to Remove poverty, of widows and orphans • So they sold houses land then gave all those Gains to church • Vs 34; 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, ...read more

  • Living In Community

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 9, 2021
     | 2,240 views

    How did the people in today’s text handle their material things and wealth? Did they withhold any resources? Today we will look at the greed, grace and how strong their grip is in our lives.

    LIVING IN COMMUNITY Acts 4:32 – 35 Acts 4:32-35  Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common.  (33)  With great power the apostles gave their testimony ...read more

     | 2,198 views

    Are we to sell all that we have and give all of it to the Church to administrate for everyone one. Or does this passage mean something else?

    Sermon Title: Hey, wait a minute. Scripture Text: Acts 4:32-35 ILLUSTRATION by joke. There's a story of a soapbox preacher in Hyde Park. He declared: "If you had two houses, you would give one to the poor wouldn't you?' 'Yes' said a man in the audience, 'indeed I ...read more

  • Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021
     | 1,770 views

    Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

    Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

  • God Loves A Cheerful Giver

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

  • An Outline Of Acts 5:1-11

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 5, 2021
     | 3,986 views

    Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

    Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more

  • An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 3,124 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

  • A Love That Lifts Others Up Above You Series

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on May 7, 2021
     | 3,898 views

    Love and Fresh air is not free anymore. Can we love in a such a manner that makes another person better than ourselves?

    A Love that lifts others up above you You must have heard the saying “ You can’t live on love and fresh air alone”. The underlying assumption behind this saying is that they are the only two things that are available free. Let us look at it in the context of today. Newspapers are full of stories of ...read more

  • Witness: Glorifies #3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019
     | 3,285 views

    We are called to be witnesses in the most uncomfortable situations and place so the glory of God will shine above our fears and desires.

    We began a conversation two weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live it. To live out this belief we are ...read more

     | 6,955 views

    We need to be bold in our witness for Christ. We are one generation away from being a pagan nation.

    This sermon series entitled “The Ends of the Earth” is about how we, as the body of Christ, have been directed to reach a lost world for Him. So how are we doing? Not how has the church done in the past, but how is the church in reaching the lost doing today? The fact is, we are but one ...read more

    Once there was a village atheist, a man who never believed in God. He was not interested in church and he was the only one known atheist in the area. There was only one church in that village.
