Leaders & Martyrs Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Oct 25, 2013

We have gotten so used to novelty in the church that a common response to this theme, was a rather sympathetic gesture inferring, “What, have you run out of good ideas?” Preaching and prayer just don’t seem that innovative and frankly to many, are the boring part of church.

For the first few chapters of Acts we have heard about the beginnings and growth of the early church in Jerusalem after Pentecost. This was done almost exclusively through prayer and preaching. And Satan was working hardest through the religious leaders, not to stop miracles and such, but to stop ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 12, 2017

The Law Removes The Offense Of The Cross Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 5, 2020

The apostle was accused by the false teachers of teaching circumcision in some places, and they said they were teaching no more than he taught. Or it may have been inferred from the fact (which was undoubtedly true) that Paul in general complied with the customs of the Jews when he was with them.

The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025

Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

“You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D.
