    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 11, 2023
     | 3,202 views

    The persecution forced the church to decisions that would unlock the full potential of the Church in terms of scope, efficiency, and effectiveness. The Church at Jerusalem became the Church on the move. We are a part of that movement.

    Sermon: Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Scripture: Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were ...read more

     | 3,750 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    God’s Divine Disruption Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 18, 2023
     | 3,760 views

    The God’s call is always a divine disruption. Salvation, discipleship, and service will disrupt your normal activities and redirect your life. It is life changing, redirecting, lonely, scary, but totally worth it!

    Sermon: God’s Divine Disruption Scripture: Acts 9: 1-18 Saul’s Conversion “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation ...read more

    The Work Of An Evangelist

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 19, 2023
     | 1,656 views

    The Great Commission is our call to evangelize the world. It applies to every believer, without exception. And if you are a believer, but don’t have the desire to tell others about Jesus...then you are not right with God.

    The Work of an Evangelist Acts 8:26-40 Sitting in his Roman cell, knowing that the time of his death was at hand, the apostle Paul wrote one last letter to his protégé, Timothy, and encouraged him to remain faithful to the very end. He told him to 2Ti 4:5 …be watchful in all things, ...read more

    It Didn’t Just Happen

     | 1,272 views

    The crucifixion of Jesus was not a random incident: it was part of God’s plan from eternity

    It was a journey of some two thousand kilometers—from Jerusalem all the way back to what is modern-day Sudan. The lone traveler had come to worship at the Temple. And I can only imagine that it was for him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As his horse plodded along, he occupied his time by ...read more

    Prophets primarily are persecuted and perish, not prancing in prosperity.

    Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

    The Bible declares to us in Ephesians 4:5 that there is only "One Baptism". This is of course Scriptural Baptism, which is Right Kind of Baptism... and must involve the Right Person.

    37) THE RIGHT BAPTISM OF THE RIGHT PERSON We Believe In One Baptism – Involving The Right Person.

    There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

    There was an antique collector passing through a small village when he saw an old man chopping wood with an ancient ax. “That’s a mighty old ax you have there,” he remarked. “Yep,” said the villager, “it once belonged to George Washington.” “George Washington??? Not really!" gasped the ...read more

    Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,665 views

    Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

    First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,606 views

    An unstable person who feels inadequate in their identity might steal another’s because it might bring them personal gain. Others who have turned to evil find pleasure in stealing from a person more wealthy than they.

    Knowing mankind has to have individual identifiers for every person, place and thing, he has instinctively created an almost impossibility to recognize things of a spiritual nature. Man cannot readily recognize things of a spiritual nature because he does not see, hear, touch, nor smell or taste a ...read more
