Perplexed Peter Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 8, 2013

I want to start today by reading the eighth verse of Acts chapter 1. The disciples were listening to Jesus just before he was about to ascend into heaven. No doubt eager Peter was up at the front when Jesus gives his great commission.

How To Give A Defense For Your Hope

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013

We're supposed to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is within us. But how are we to go about that? Using Paul's defense in Acts 26 we'll lay the ground work for sharing your hope with others.

As we read his defense (or sermon if you will,) we’ll learn some valuable tips that will help us all in presenting a defense for ...read more

It's A Masquerade

Contributed by Clarence Weaver Sr on Jul 2, 2013

As Christians we must realize no matter how much we feel in control, we are not. Satan was so full of pride he thought he could be God. Only when we realize God is in control can we sense God’s power in our lives.

It's A Masquerade 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Elder Clarence Weaver "For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of ...read more

The Face In The Mirror

Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Feb 23, 2015

Beloved, have you ever looked in the mirror and the reflection told you what you didn’t want to see? You know, you might be feeling one way but when you look at yourself in the mirror the reflection reproduces something totally different.
