    This sermon follows the progression of Acts 11:19-26 and identifies 10 things we should be aware of today. I used train illustrations with the 10 words.

    There are 10 stops along the tracks. (I used train related illustrations for each of these words) 1. Dispersion – v. 19a – Sometimes life takes us in many different directions just as it did in the early Church. 2. Exclusion – v. 19b – Often we like the early Church miss the point that the gospel ...read more

    What Is Our Ambition?

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

    Purging Revival

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,520 views

    National revival must begin with corporate revival. Corporate revival must begin with personal revival. The steps in personal revival are: SEEING the need for purging, SEEKING the Lord for purging and the SATISFACTION that comes as a result of purging.

    INTRODUCTION: These verses were the prayer of David. This would be a good prayer for all of us to pray. If we would pray this prayer and mean it with all of our hearts THERE WOULD BE REVIVAL! Notice three steps in purging our hearts, lives and actions: 1. SEEING the need for purging—Psalm 51:7 ...read more
