     | 1,413 views

    There are things that, as Christians, we must burn in our lives. This message looks at people who burned bridges for their faith.

    Good morning to the Lord’s beloved! Many people don’t know this, but Julius Caesar was once a rebellious Roman.

    Acts 8:9-25 teaches us about a faith that does not save.

    Introduction Years ago, I read a story about the famous outlaw Jesse James (1847-1882).

    Joseph was the good son. But to his brothers, he took it too far. So they plotted to end it all, but GOD… But GOD...had other plans as the story of Joseph unfolds. From riches to rags, and rags to riches.

    The Trial Of Stephen, Part 5

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 5, 2024
     | 371 views

    This morning, we shall see how the failures of the Wilderness generation and their rejection of Yahweh for a golden calf became the paradigm for the Sanhedrin's rejection of Jesus for a Golden Temple made by hands.

    The Trial of Stephen, Part 5 Acts 7:36–41 NKJV He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me ...read more

    Obstacles Or Closed Doors

    Contributed by Rakesh Sharma on Oct 25, 2024
     | 632 views

    In moments of chaos and uncertainty, we often find ourselves standing before seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Just as the Israelites faced the Red Sea with fear and doubt, we are called to trust in God’s power to create new paths for our deliverance.

    >> Bible Reading: Exodus 14:10-18 10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to ...read more

    God may use persecution to compel the faithful to fulfil His commands. That was assuredly the case for the first church, and it may be the case in this day.

    ACTS 8:1b-4 THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! “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 ...read more

    Heritage Series

    Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Nov 15, 2024
     | 1,071 views

    Do we know enough of our own history that we could, like Stephen, stand before a trial and explain why we believe in Jesus as our Saviour and how America is better because of the work of God?

    “Heritage” Acts 7:1-54 How important is our heritage? Webster’s 1828 = Heritage, 1. Inheritance; an estate that passes from an ancestor to an heir by descent or course of law; that which is inherited. 2.

    Freely giving will not make you rich and if you are selling God's gifts and blessings you are not blessed.

    Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of ...read more

    Rage Of The Heathen

    If there is any purpose to be gleaned from the murder of Charlie Kirk, it is this: we can no longer lean on activists like Charlie to do our work for us.

    A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 755 views

    Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

    A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more
