     | 1,083 views

    There are two different topics to explore in this message: The reasons to stay faithful to God during a persecution, and, the role of deacons (or elders or servants) in the church. All of these come as a result of the faithfulness of the early believers, and should be an encouragement for us.

    Preachers have an essential place in saving the souls of their citizens and the souls of their nations.

    Did you know that the Pastors and Preachers of our founding era were different than the average clergyman today? Instead of society relegating them to irrelevance as mere religious storytellers, most early Pastors and Preachers in America were influential in their churches and communities. Those ...read more

    The world is setting itself against the ways of God and persecution is headed our way. How do we prepare ourselves so we can stand firm in our faith. Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Read text. Pray. Francis Chan has long been a favorite preacher/author of mine. Over the years he has shared many ideas that are very similar to those of our brotherhood. For instance, there’s a meme where he says, “If the Bible and I don’t agree, I must be wrong.” He has spoken of being ...read more

    Will we experience increased persecution in the days ahead? If so, will we respond in a way that facilitates the work of the Holy Spirit, or will we respond in the flesh, pursuing worthy goals in an unworthy manner? Message examines biblical revelation of how to respond.

    Intro Persecution: Will we experience increased persecution in the days ahead? If so, will we be prepared and equipped to handle it well?

    Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

    Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023
     | 1,786 views

    Churches are expected to guide and form the conscience of society and people by pointing out the truth without fear or favour. Some of our churches today however, have lost their moral authority to the world because of power, fame, and money by their leaders.

    Morality is now measured by the votes of the Senate and the Parliament, and not the individual conscience. Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 6 – Follow My Example Of Suffering And Walk Accordingly (But Not The Writer’s Example) – 1peter 2:21-23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 24, 2023
     | 1,229 views

    This message looks at examples, especially Christ's example in suffering. Committed Christians take up their crosses and follow Christ, their example. Our Lord has set the example in suffering. That will lead to persecution/suffering when we deny self and walk in His footsteps.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 6 – FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE OF SUFFERING AND WALK ACCORDINGLY (BUT NOT THE WRITER’S EXAMPLE) – 1Peter 2:21-23 {{1Peter 2:21 “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,”}} [A].

    While His life revolutionized Hebrew thinking and affected much of world history, He did not come to overthrow the government.

    Some try to make Jesus a political revolutionary. That was not His mission, nor is it the Church's Matthew 22:15  Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.  16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we ...read more

    One thing every Pastor has remind his congregation of, is, WHEN THE LORD MOVES IN THE CHURCH, WE CAN REST ASSURED THE DEVIL WILL MOVE IN ALSO.

    As we come to the fifth chapter of the Book of Acts, God had moved by the power of the Holy Spirit in a great way. But when we get to chapter five, we see where the devil makes his move, through a couple in the church called Ananias and Saphirra. WHAT KIND OF CHURCH MEMBERS WERE THEY? They ...read more

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more
