Sermons on Apostles:

From House To House

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

Saved For Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Christians often need to be saved from their subjective fears that put their emotional system into a turmoil.There was a spirit of pessimism reigning over the lives of the Apostles in this setting. They were safe, but they felt like they were sunk.

Most of us probably have some money in a saving account where it is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Cooperation, or FDIC for short. This brilliant idea which saved the banks after the depression, and saves all savers a lot of anxiety is a gift God gave to the American people through a ...read more

It Is Finished Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 10, 2021

What was finished? What was this mission that was now finished? Why did Jesus come? Let's look at how Jesus defined his mission -- and later, how his apostles understood it.

Saved By Faith Alone! Really??? Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021

Could it really be that works have nothing to do with gaining a right-standing with God? Don't good people who do good works get to Heaven. The Apostle Paul has an answer.

I’ve entitled my message this morning “Saved by Faith Alone! Really???” because shockingly that’s precisely the attitude of most self-described Christians in America today. An October 2020 survey of self-described Christians in America by Arizona Christian University revealed the 52% of ...read more

Who Killed Jesus?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

Who killed Jesus? Was it Judas, Caiaphas, or the Jews in general? The Apostles Creed says “He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,” no one else. If we’re looking for someone to blame, the buck stops at Rome.

Hard And Bitter Truths

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jan 16, 2025

The church as an agent of moral and spiritual transformation is becoming lukewarm. Hard and bitter truths are no longer preached in many churches. The church must wake up and once again shake the world like the days of the Apostles.
