     | 18,095 views

    Pentecost has been the source of much too much confusion and little unity. What does it mean?

    When the Day of Pentecost Was Fully Come Acts 2:1 We now begin the first of several messages about the day we called Pentecost or Whitsunday on our church calendar. Careful exposition of the text is very important here, because to go wrong here is to go wrong for the rest of the Book of Acts. As ...read more

    A Voice From The Beach

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014
     | 6,830 views

    A perspective on John 21: 1-14. Like the disciples in the boat who listened to the voice of a ‘stranger’ from the beach, somehow you too will know at the right time where to ‘cast the net.’ At that time, you too will say with joy, “It is the Lord.”

    John 21: 1-14 A Voice From The Beach The Gospel according to John closes with one more miracle given by Jesus. Although it is the final miracle recorded in the Gospel, it is the first of his resurrected life. It happened this way: Some of the disciples of Jesus were sitting about on the shore by ...read more

    Have You Heard God's Calling? Have You Answered?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Sep 13, 2013
     | 6,192 views

    God still appears to us, and He still calls us in many ways. While it is hard to hear Him calling above the din of the world's chatter, He is calling, and He is visible for those who have eyes to see.

    In the earliest church, there wasn't a single member who had a financial need for long because, whenever a need arose, the wealthier members sold a piece of their land and gave the proceeds to the church. This ministry of grace (Acts 4) appears to have been commonplace... but the only man mentioned ...read more

    Sheep have unique characteristics. Some you may know about and others may surprise you. The Bible refers to us as christians as being the sheep of His pasture. Let us see how much we act like sheep.

    Sheepish? Timid, shy? Sheep-like? Ps 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
