    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,414 views

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (10 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 980 views

    In chapter six, the apostles felt the need to bring before the church the task of selecting seven deacons.

    They chose seven outstanding men. However, one of those men stands out head and shoulders above the rest. His name was Stephen. Most of chapters six and seven deal with Stephen, this man of God, who was so greatly used by God. Have you ever wondered why they singled Stephen out. The church ...read more

    In chapter 5, we discovered that the Lord had to purge the early church of hypocrisy.

    The people learned to fear the Lord, and those who loved Him went on serving Him faithfully, filling all of Jerusalem with their doctrine. Look at Acts 5:28, We read, “Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your ...read more

    The Choosing Of A Deacon (Ordination Service)

    One thing the devil has been very successful at doing is taking something that God created, and using it for his own evil purpose.

    For example, God gave mankind the wisdom and the ability to produce television sets for our homes, to provide wholesome and godly programs to be a blessing to our families. But look how the devil has taken the “scum” of Hollywood to corrupt the minds of our families. The devil has used television ...read more

    There is a story told of a football game between two teams, the small animals and the big animals.

    In the first half, the big animals were winning. The score was 70 to nothing when half-time came. When the second half began, the big animals got in their huddle and planned their strategy. They decided to send the elephant down the left side with the ball. They threw him the ball and he ran hard ...read more

    When The Church Is Scattered

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 23, 2021

     | 3,891 views

    Studying the response of the first church when persecuted can encourage a proper response to disruption of services in the modern church in the West.

    “And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.” [1] Fairmeadows Church met at seven o’clock each Wednesday evening for a prayer meeting. One evening, rather than going ...read more

    A Church Without Walls

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 29, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,133 views

    A study of the first congregation of the Lord provides us with the example of a church without walls. The members did gather for worship, but they were compelled to penetrate their world to tell others of Jesus. We must do the same in this day.

    “There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after ...read more

    Pastor Not Chairman

    Not happy with the way your church is going? Let your pastor be a pastor, not the Chairman of the Board or the CEO.

    Topic on LinkedIn - Why Are Churches Run Like a Business When Paul's Model Kept Business and Church Separate? My comment: I believe that God calls pastors and not CEOs. Had the Church kept things simple we would not have the issues to address. Act 6:3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among ...read more

    Unstoppable Church (Christians) Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,159 views

    Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

    Lots of people get stopped by lots of things. I remember being stopped in my tracks one day at church – Snake. People are stopped in their tracks by all kinds of things. Sadly, I have known people who were stopped in their tracks relationally. Maybe they got burned in a relationship, or even in ...read more

    The Holy Spirit Is Not A Side Show Act

    Many things are done that are attributed to the Spirit, but He did not do them. Discernment is needed.

    "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." What does the plurality of heavens refer to, and what do the heavens' utterances say about God's glory?

     | 7,896 views

    Passages in different locations are often interconnected in such a way that one avenue of thought springs from another. Although these psalms were not written with the intent that they be interconnected by us today, they collectively express a message relevant today.

    Stephen Series

    If you take away anything from Stephen’s message today, it should be this: Jesus is all you need. Say it with me: “Jesus is all I need.” Say it again: “Jesus is all I need!”

    If you saw Stephen on the streets of Jerusalem or in the market, he probably wouldn’t seem very different from you or me. A good man … a good neighbor … a good friend … a hard worker … always ready to help. Maybe a good husband … we don’t know if he was married or not. Lately he had been ...read more
