     | 9,759 views

    This message shows the powerful witness of Peter and John and the lame man who was healed at the temple gate. I am making 3 points in this message: (1) No matter what people do to you, they cannot stop your witness. (2) No matter how many people rej

    There is no name like the name of Jesus. This message shows the power of the name of Jesus in the early church and reminds us that that power has not faded. Jesus still heals, He still saves and He is still on HIs throne. 5 main points in the message.

    “The Powerful Name of Jesus” Acts 4:13-31 These men who stood here and witnessed the courage of Peter and John were now in a huge dilemma. No matter which way they turned they were trapped. They couldn’t deny the miracle that this lame man had been healed because he was standing ...read more

     | 3,395 views

    We must guard against the worldly pressures and fears that threaten us to "tone down" the Gospel message.

    FEAR! A WORD THAT IS ONLY 4-LETTERS, BUT ONE THAT CAN REAP DEVESTATING CONSEQUENCES. FEAR IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT CAN PARALYZE, CONTROLL, AND MANIPULATE US. FEAR CAN COMPELS US TO DO IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS AND CAN EVEN HINDER US FROM LIVING RESPONSIBLY AND LIVING FRUITLESS LIVES. THIS IS WHY I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,627 views

    Does our faith become shaken because we are so weak, or does our faith shake things up because it is so strong?

    Acts 4:27-37 Verse 27-28-God you made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is with in them and nothing happens without your purpose and your plan being involved! No matter what has happened in your life good stuff or bad stuff, God has a plan to use it for the benefit of the kingdom ...read more

    Acts 4:23-26 Verse 23-They didn’t complain, they didn’t say this is not fair, they praised God for what they were enduring. We might have better results with our trials, if we would praise God instead of complain. Verse 24-Lord, you are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,244 views

    Leonard Sweet in his book Soul Tsunami wrote: "our post modern American culture wants tolerance of all beliefs..." the result is the morphing of Jesus into syncretism. Americans are deeply spiritual and secualar. We cook up our own religion to our taste

     | 11,429 views

    Jesus is the ultimate name -- the only name through which there is salvation.

    Well, as you’re aware by now my name is Brad. Although, that is not the whole truth. Brad is actually a shortened form of Bradley. That’s what my parents named me -- Bradley. Bradley is a name from the British Isles that means broad meadow -- perhaps a commentary on girth. Now, I wish that I could ...read more

    Title: The Rules We Play By Text: Acts 4:1-12 Thesis: In all we do and say, we point the way to Jesus Christ. Introduction: Most games have rules that players play by.

    What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,974 views

    We like to be in control, some of us need to be in control but, when that control is taken away by sinful man or others, we need to look to the one who is always in full control.

    Acts 4:23-33 I suspect that most all of the conflicts and battles of life boil down to issues of control. Republicans want control of the congress and Democrats don’t want to give it up. Israelis want to control Palestinians and Palestinians resist. Sunnis and Shiites fight for control of Iraq. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,475 views

    In Acts 4 we see a church alive and on fire. But it is also a church under attack. How did the first believers cope with opposition?

    Introduction Once upon a time, an atheist lived in a small town. The atheist wasn’t a bad man, he just didn’t believe. He wasn’t interested in church… and there was only one in the area. It was cold and dead. More of a social club for the deceased. One day the church building caught on fire. The ...read more

     | 4,409 views

    Being spirit-filled is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing, always needed process.

    WHEN IT COMES TO DESCRIBING WHAT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN DO IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN, I BELIEVE JESUS GAVE US THE ANSWER IN LUKE 7:22-23. IT CAME WHEN JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST TO GIVE A REPORT ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD SEEN AND HEARD WHICH WAS, "THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME ...read more

    God shakes the world through our prayers.

    Scripture Introduction A man asked his friend, “What color are your pastor’s eyes?” He answered: “I don’t know. When he prays he closes his eyes, and when he preaches, I close mine.” That has little or nothing to do with today’s sermon; I simply liked it. Dr. D. A. Carson, professor at ...read more
