    We’re all so different. We come from different backgrounds, different convictions. But when we all love each other and open arms to all kinds of people, that’s when the beauty of unity is seen. And God wants that here.

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution.

    3 of 5 messages on Miracles of Jesus. This message is on how God wants to open your blind eyes to see what He will do in your life - if you let him.

    Opening Blind Eyes Sept 9, 2007 What does God want you to see? If you have 20/20 vision, I want to bring you into my world for a minute. This is, more or less, what I see in the morning when I go look in the mirror, and you might say, “That’s doable. Let me tell you it’s a lot more doable if ...read more

    In the middle of nowhere, Jacob encounters God and realizes God’s presence encompasses more that what just his eyes see.

    Last week, we looked at a central figure of the OT, Abram, later named Abraham. We talked about some of the similarities between the unknowns of Abrahams life, such as the lack of any information about his childhood, and that of Jesus and how little is know of his childhood. We discovered that as ...read more

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

    Jesus opened the eyes of the travelers just as he opens our eyes as we travel the road of life.

    Text: “Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight” (Luke 24:29). I wonder if we had lived in the days when Jesus was born and walked upon the face of the earth if we would have had any difficulty accepting the things Jesus taught and did. Would we have given ...read more
