    The Power of the Gospel

    A long time ago, the only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small uninhabited island. He cried out to God to save him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none came.

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Feb 3, 2021
     | 1,823 views

    This sermon is part of series on the Psalms of Assent. The focus is on how the Jews would joyously go up to Jerusalem for worship, and how we can experience the same joy in going to the local church.

    In case you haven’t been here the last few weeks, we talked about the idea that the Psalms of Ascents were actually believed to be sung by the Jewish pilgrims as they made their way up to Jerusalem for the various Jewish festivals. Although they were considered to be somewhat of a travel psalm, ...read more

They became extremely generous and kind. And the church grew exponentially. II. They devoted themselves to prayer. Why do we need to ...read more

    Be Perfect 2 Cor. 13:1-14 See: Vs.9, 11 Paul prays for the church of Corinth to be perfect.

    No matter how beautiful the artificial plants maybe, but still they do not posses life that the real plants have. That is why they do not grow. Growing distinguish the fake from the genuine.

We must not let deceitful people trick us by their false teachings, which are like winds that toss us around from place to place. Eph 4:15-16 Love should always make us tell the truth.

    I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.
