     | 4,232 views

    The story of Pentecost tells us not only of how the church was born, but also how the church has continued to outreach and outdo herself because of the power, influence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

    WHEN THE CHURCH WAS BORN Text: Acts 2:1-21 I read the story about a football player whose performance exceeded the expectation of others. "…. In the last two minutes of the game, with the score against his team, makes a touchdown. He runs faster than his legs can carry him, and farther than ...read more

    Although the world does not rightly honor the Lord God, his glory fills all things so that like Isaiah we stand trembling before his holiness because of our sins but receive his forgiveness because of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    The Lord’s Glory Fills All Things Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    No man in human history had a greater opportunity for success and happiness than did Judas Iscariot. Yet, since his death, he has ranked at the top of the list among those who also betrayed the Lord. Luke called him a traitor. John the Beloved labeled him

    This sermon deals with the basis for rejecting homosexuality as a lifestyle acceptable within the Scriptures.

    Jesus is our model for the acceptance of other people. Jesus invited people from all walks of life to come follow him. He loved and he welcomed many. Yet Jesus’s words and demands offended a lot more than they attracted, because Jesus would not tolerate sin. He gave a stinging rebuke ...read more

    Study in the High Priesthood of Christ and our response to His Priesthood.

    The High Priest Today is April Fool’s Day.

    Our marriages should reflect the kind of commitment Jesus demonstrated when He went to the cross. We have in Scripture, instructions to both the wives and the husbands, that we bring our marriages under the Lordship of Christ.
