    While our souls do indeed go to heaven when we die, this is by no means the end of it. The ultimate goal is the resurrection. This is what scripture teaches. Why has the church drifted from this teaching? This sermon seeks to answer that as well as

    Sometimes, In these later years especially, I think that we Christians have spiritualized what we believe a little too much. What I mean when I say that is that we look at the promises of God only insofar as they have to do with our spirits, or our souls. For example, when you think of your ...read more

    Uses the story of Jesus' resurrection of the widow's son in Luke 7 to remind us of the joy and difficulty that can come on Mother's Day.

    Since today is Mother’s Day, I thought I would begin with some possibilities for a list called “Murphy’s Laws of Parenting.” Murphy’s law is the idea that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So these are kind of some laws of how things can go wrong for moms or ...read more

    The Table . . . A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a  simple table is really a blank canvas?

    The Table Pt. 2 - Table Manners I. Introduction I don't know what your home was like growing up, but in my house we were taught table manners. In fact, you need to pray for me as I try to find something to do while I am grounded this week for even playing that video. We had some very specific ...read more

    Que sera sera, what will be will be --- may be a popular idea, but it is not Biblical. The new young King will not listen to the preacher... The price tag is expensive. Be a prisoner of hope!

    The Garden of Gethsemane began as a place of stress and ended as a place of rest. We can learn much from our Master.

    Your Place of Stress or Rest Mark 14:32-52 • Do you know what stress is? Everybody in this room understands this term because it is seems to be so evident today.

    The world poses a threat; anti-Christian elements don't understand us; the media often stereotypes us as ignorant or hypocritical. Our response? To withdrawal into our Christian subculture. Jesus said that's NOT the way. We're to be Salt!

    DO YOU HAVE SALT? Matt. 5:13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: GRANDMA’S NICK-NAME 1. We all leave a legacy behind us – a reputation. One girl identified her grandmother's reputation. 2. While eating dessert, nine year old Karen claimed, "Grandma makes the best apple pie in the whole ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    A Church Full of Deacons Acts 6:1-6 If I were to ask what are the two offices in the church, what would you say? The real answer is Pastor and Deacon. So many people in churches all over, including here at EBC don’t know who their deacons are. Very few doctrines are as misunderstood in ...read more

    When life seemed hopeless for a man dwelling among the tombs and possessed with demons, Jesus brought deliverance. There is nothing too great or too small for the Lord. He is more than able to meet any need we have.

As we come to Chapter 5, we encounter several more miracles Jesus performed as He walked among men. We will find Him ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,282 views

    The church faced difficulty within a culture loyal to Rome. While they were subject to Roman authority, their primary responsibility was to the Sovereign Lord. We are citizens of two worlds, and our allegiance belongs to Christ. We must always honor Him.

    Behavior becoming of Citizens Philippians 1: 27-30 As Paul sought to conclude the first thoughts of his gracious letter, apparently he was reminded of the intense struggle the church in Philippi faced. Bear in mind that he and Silas had been beaten and imprisoned there. Philippi being a Roman ...read more
