The Scattering Series

Contributed by Troy Walliser on Nov 6, 2020

Even if the future of the church in America looks like VERSES 1-3, God can still bring about VERSE 8.

The Scattering Acts 8:1-8 My favorite movies are those with plot twists at the end. When what happens at the end of a movie, you never saw coming at the beginning. And when the ending is revealed it's kind of like, "oh, everything makes sense now." I think the first time I vividly ...read more

Acting the part of St. Paul I spoke frankly to the church that I had a hand in planting twenty years ago

A Critical Age - Numbers 11-4-25 the Message Bible It is strange for me today to be a guest speaker in what is my home church. I can’t help but think of St. Paul who planted churches and then when he had opportunity or God’s calling he would visit them to look in on their ...read more

Deep Community

Contributed by Jim Belcher on Oct 1, 2009

How do you achieve deep community and fellowship within a group of believers?

What took a small, scared group of believers and filled them with so much confidence that they eventually became the dominant religion in the Roman empire?

There Is No Other Name Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Feb 5, 2010

We all have things that we are deeply embarrassed about, perhaps even ashamed of, things that we don’t want anyone else to know about. And sadly that embarrassment can all too often overflow into our spiritual life.

Embarrassing moments On my book shelf in my office I have a book called ‘Tall Tales of a Big God’ written by a man called Maurice Smith. Maurice is (or at least was) an international Christian Speaker travelling all over the UK, and Europe and particularly the USA. And his book is a compilation ...read more
