    based on 1 rating
     | 12,831 views

    The Spirit descends upon Gentile believers before Peter is ale to finish her sermon. When Peter shares what happened with the church leaders they realize that the kingdom of God is open to more people than they had first imagined.

On the day of Pentecost, which is the birth of the Christian church, over 3,000 people responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ and became Christians. A man who had been lame from birth was healed and began to ...read more

    The religious leaders questioned Jesus' authority. We know Jesus has authority, but does he really have authority over us?

    Matthew 21:23-32 "Authority Issues" INTRODUCTION God is a God of abundance and diversity. Looking around the worship area, it is obvious that we are very different people. We like to make things easy, though, so we often condense our diversity down to the basic essentials and say that there ...read more

    Freedom is purchased by great sacrifice and maintained by those who stand ready to be sacrificed. Today we owe our freedom to men and women such as these and we pause to honor them and to remember and reflect on their sacrifices both past and present.

    A Soldiers Faith Matthew 8:5-13 Luke 7:1-10 This week we mark Remembrance Day as a Nation. It is a day that holds a unique significance for each of us. For some it marks the Remembrance of a loved one who fell in service to their country or those who had been taken prisoner never to ...read more

    The Believer’s Two Inclinations (Romans 8:5-11) 1. Here is a true story from Patrick Grilliot: We Uber drivers never know whom we’re going to end up with as a passenger.

     | 149 views

    Our look at the twelve apostles continues with the “ inner circle”, or most notable in the Scriptures due to their words and work.

    The list of the twelve ordinary men commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel always lists Simon Peter as the first due to his character, his devotion to Jesus, and was given the task of being the leader of the twelve and be both the pastor and teacher to the “ sheep” and “lambs” ...read more

    If we want to be forgiven, we must forgive the sins of others against us.

    This morning, we will be hiking through some challenging spiritual terrain, but I promise that the destination will be worth the journey. I’d like to talk about one thing, one critical thing, that if done or not done can make or break a marriage, make or break a family, make or break a friendship, ...read more

    Expelling Anger Series

     | 2,230 views

    Anger, unchecked and uncorrected, affects 3 things: 1) Our view of ourselves (Matthew 5:21-22), 2) Our worship of God (Matthew 5:23-24), and 3) Our relation to others (Matthew 5:25-26).

    Matthew 5:21-26 [21]"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' [22] But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 22,149 views

    This sermon depicts the true meaning of what Christmas really is; through God’s forgiveness; His help in our storms; and the hope He gives us for our future.

    Last week, I talked about how Christmas is a time of love. God loved us enough to send His Son to be our sacrifice. Jesus loved us enough to be that sacrifice. And now, God wants us to love Jesus enough to sacrifice our will to Him. I explained that love is the willingness to sacrifice ...read more

    A sermon that highlights how Jesus demonstrates Love, Faith and Mercy in his dealings with this often neglected group of people.

    Ministry to the Samaritans This morning I feel that God is leading me to speak on the subject of Samaritans. More to the point I want to speak about Jesus’ interaction with this particular group of people. As a Jew, Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritans caused quite a bit of a stir at the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,673 views

    The mission to Samaria shows us an improper response to rejection.

    Scripture Luke has come to a major turning point in The Gospel of Luke. Up until this point we have been introduced to Jesus, the Son of Man (1:1-4:13), and we have examined the ministry of Jesus (4:14-9:50), which has taken place largely in Galilee. Now, Luke shows us the rejection of Jesus ...read more

     | 1,967 views

    Paul tells us in Ephesians that we should be imitators of God. God is love so therefore if we are to imitate Him, we become love. This message is about imitating LOVE.

    Imitators of Love Scripture: Matthew 24:10-12; Ephesians 4:31-5:2; First John 4:1-6 The title of my message this morning is “Imitators of Love” and the idea for this message came to me from a message my brother Barry delivered a couple of weeks ago at his Church.
