     | 4,559 views

    This message relates the events of Pentecost to our situation as the Church in a lost world today.

    Today is the day we celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost, nearly 2,000 years ago. However, while we are going to read about the remarkable, earth-shaking events of that day, this is not a history lesson. The story of Pentecost does tell us how Christ's first disciples reached the ...read more

    Imagine a cold dark prison. You see a prisoner hunched over writing a letter. He is writing a love letter from his prison cell. This love letter is to a church that he loves dearly. You see this man in prison is the Apostle Paul. He is writing this letter

    Read: Philippians 1:1-2 Imagine a cold dark prison. You see a prisoner there chained to the guards. This prisoner is unassuming in appearance and for the moment is very quiet.

    based on 99 ratings
     | 8,484 views

    This is the second sermon in the series "Becoming A Contagious Congregation, A Study of the Church at Antioch".

    There was something special about the church at Antioch. We’ve already seen (in the first sermon in this series) that God’s hand was on them because they were a praying, Spirit-filled congregation. Notice what Luke says about the way Barnabas perceived the church at Antioch. In Acts 11:23 it ...read more

    The church today does NOT do enough to bring people out of darkness and into the light. Levi followed Jesus and invited his friends to do the same, we can to.

    Unity in the church is important because it reflects the character of God, it exemplifies what Christ came to do, and it is necessary to the health and growth of the church.

    Does it seem to you that people are angrier than they used to be? The unspoken rules of civility that help us all to live together in a society are either unknown or ignored. Violence is seen as an acceptable way of addressing conflicts. People seem less tolerant, more willing to lash out at one ...read more
