    Contributed by Larry Wilson on Oct 7, 2011
     | 4,955 views

    Early in the history of the church, the Lord added an office to the church. It was not an afterthought, for He knew from eternity past that He would do this. But now the time was right, and the need was great. Why were deacons added? What is the lesson fo

    THE FIRST DEACONS Acts 6:1-7 November 13, 2005 (The Ordination of Fred Thomson) INTRODUCTION: • Some long for the good ole’ days. • They remember the warmth of the fire and forget the chopping of the wood. • Some would love for us to get back to the early ...read more

    Me? A Priest? Series

    Being a priest is an AWESOME PRIVILEGE and AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. Leviticus 8-10 is the ordination of Aaron and the death of Nabab and Abihu. In the NT, we are all priests!

    Me? A Priest? Selections from Leviticus 8-10 My wife’s grandmother was a woman who always spoke her mind. When my then-fiancee told her grandmother that she was going to marry a minister, the crusty old woman said, “Marry a priest? I wouldn’t do that! You can do that if you want, but I would never ...read more

    And The Gospel Goes On Series

    The theme of Acts is not just the works of the apostles but that nothing stops God from spreading His word.

    And the Gospel goes on. Acts 8:1-24 Very anticlimactically written, from this point on there is a shift from Peter and John to a man named Saul. Saul is introduced as being present when Stephen was stoned and that he gave his approval. Dr. Luke gives us insight into Saul and then will compare it ...read more

    Some people get excited about Jesus at Christmas or other special occasions, but He is much more than a holiday.

    Jesus is Not A Holiday December 27, 2007 (For Better or Worse: I died at church!) 1 Cor. 11:17 (NLT) But now when I mention this next issue, I cannot praise you. For it sounds as if more harm than good is done when you meet together. Do you think it is possible that church can do more harm than ...read more

    Why every believer needs to be an active participant in a local church

    As a pastor, I’m constantly amazed at the excuses people have for not going to church. So I read with interest this week how someone parodied many of those excuses by coming up with a similar list of excuses that people could give for not washing their hands: 1) I was forced to wash as a ...read more

We’ve said while no church has achieved perfection, there is such a thing as a church heading the right direction; and the early church in Acts two was such a church. So we’ve looked to their example to learn what would be true ...read more
