    A sermon considering the price of discipleship, and challenging people to action. I borrowed the Illustration at the beginning of my sermon from Revd. Martin Dale sermon in 2006 with thanks :)

    The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

    We gain a lot by studying the book of Acts. We learn about how the church grew in its infancy stage. Now over twenty percent of the world’s population claim to be true disciples of Jesus. But we are starting here with one hundred and twenty loyal believers huddled together in one room. It helps us ...read more

    It is increasingly apparent that we are living in the end times. The return of our Lord is drawing closer with each passing day. As we move through these last days, it is good to have biblical instruction regarding them. John provides needed insight.

    The End Time in Our Time 1 John 2: 18-23 In our previous study John gave direction concerning spiritual victory for the believer. Regardless of our maturity level, all need to grow in the Lord. Continued growth is essential in overcoming the difficulties we face. John knew the struggles present ...read more

    In a previous message we looked at GOD’S PURPOSE IN THE BAD that comes our way. When the bad comes our way, we need to remember Romans 8:28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose

    We live in a world of rapid change, much of which is bad. God's word provides believers with stability, which allows them to be a peace because they are living in grace. Paul's introduction to each of is epistles are timeless.

    TIMELESS TRUTHS FOR THE EVERY-CHANGING TIMES INTRODUCTION A. We often fail to study and teach the whole Bible! 1. I’m not talking about the Old Testament, although we don’t. 2.
