    Spiritual Disruption Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jan 15, 2019
     | 5,659 views

    Jesus had a lot of opposition from the spiritual leaders of His day. It makes us ask, If Jesus came to Church today would He be accepted? I read this week that if Jesus preached the message coming out of most pulpits today He wouldn’t have been crucified. Let’s see how Jesus handled this opposition.

    Luke 7:11-35 Introduction: Jesus had a lot of opposition from the spiritual leaders of His day. It makes us ask, If Jesus came to Church today would He be accepted?

    How Have You Responded To Jesus’ Resurrection?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 23, 2019
     | 8,050 views

    This message is about the disciples and their response to Jesus’ resurrection. And their response mirrors how many Christians respond to Jesus today.

    Jesus’ resurrection on that third day was 4000 years in the making. When God raised Jesus from the dead, it was the crescendo of our Heavenly Father’s plan to make it available for man to once again have His spiritual life living inside of him. That’s why Jesus not only died a spiritual death but ...read more

     | 2,191 views

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more

    What does it mean for Jesus to be "the door?" And why should that matter to us?

    There’s a cute little children’s song about Jesus that goes this way: “One Door, and only one, and yet its sides are two, inside and outside, on which side are you? One Door, and only one, and yet its sides are two, I want the inside - on which side are you? “One Lord, and only one and yet the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 26, 2024
     | 1,014 views

    Walk by the Spirit is the secret of the Christian life. In this message we look at the well-known verses connected with the deeds of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. God’s appointed way to walk is by the Spirit, and NO OTHER way is acceptable; the walk of faith through the Spirit.

    Having died in Christ means to be alive in a new life, but the old nature tries for dominance and will not stay dead. Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ. The great victory is that we have died to sin in Christ and now walk in resurrection freedom.
