    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “The Great Pretender” Acts 8:9-25 In the first eight verses of chapter 8 we saw revival come to Samaria as Philip the Evangelist preached the good news of Jesus Christ. Miracles were performed, souls saved. Just a few verses in and we see that wherever God sends genuine revival, Satan ...read more

    The Holy Spirit equips the whole body of disciples to continue the work of Christ.

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2023 For several weeks now, after the Paschal celebration, we have been hearing the last teaching of Jesus from the Gospel of John. This long speech and promise is positioned by John at the Last Supper, but it would also make sense in the period between Easter and Christ’s ...read more

    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

    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.

    PSYCHIC NOT-LINE I watched a crime show recently that featured a palm reader who was taking advantage of people and manipulating them out of their money. In one case she ended up getting over a million dollars from this elderly woman. It's sad. But unfortunately it's not uncommon for ...read more

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,638 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

    The Story Of Simon Series

    If you make any effort to live for God, you will face opposition. If you’ve never run into Satan, it’s because you and he are traveling parallel in the same direction.

    In the early part of Acts, we are introduced to 5 brief biographies that I want to introduce to you now. If you enjoy reading a biography, then you’ll benefit from these short bios. Think of these five men as the Mount Rushmore of the early chapters of Acts, if you will. A week ago we saw the ...read more

    God works strategically so that all races are included. God is working to populate heaven with all kinds of color. The Holy Spirit wants us to move past the barrier of the races.

    We love to tell the “before and after” stories. Weight loss - I lost 100 pounds! Before and after for dental cosmetics commercials. Rogaine – I have hair! Or look at this one: meet my wife’s first husband (show picture of younger me) -:). Acts loves to tell “before and after” stories as well. Only ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,478 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

    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.
