    Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,062 views

    Remember that we read in the sixth and seventh chapters of Acts, about the life and death of that great deacon, Stephen.

    The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,357 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

    Restructuring The Church For Expansion During A Pandemic Of Presecution

    Rapid growth, constant persecution and limited resources made the Apostles rethink their future and the future of the church. They reorganized their ministry team to maximze their efficiency and effectiveness. Let;s see how!

    Sermon Restructuring The Church For Expansion Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,942 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Passing Through

    Today we look at another Deacon who never identifies himself as a Deacon; We must consider this Evangelist who never identifies himself as a Preacher; the bible says of him only that he was filled with the Holy Ghost and today that he is just passing through!

    Acts 8:35-40 (NKJV) “Passing Through” June 5, 2022 This is not our home, we are just passing through! In John 15, Jesus said that “we are not of the world,” because He chose us out of the world! Peter said we are “strangers and pilgrims!” in this world (1 Peter 2:11). Paul said in ...read more

    Confirmation

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 22, 2022
     | 1,851 views

    Is confirmation biblical? Does it have anything to do with the biblical doctrine of laying on of hands?

    Infant baptism is neither mandated nor forbidden in the New Testament but has forerunners in the Old Testament. In adult baptism, water and laying on of hands occur as one ceremony. Infant baptism often separates the use of water and laying on of hands by many years. The author of Hebrews teaches ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of God's abundant grace as seen through the conversion of the Ethiopian by Philip and how God continues to pour out His grace to those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.

We have been most recently going through the New Testament portion of the story called the book of Acts. As I mentioned a couple times, the book of Acts is a long ...read more

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,583 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Are things like horoscopes and astrology ok? Are things like Ouija boards and holding séances just harmless fun? What does God think about psychics and fortune tellers? Let's find out.
