     | 4,493 views

    This message relates the events of Pentecost to our situation as the Church in a lost world today.

    Today is the day we celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost, nearly 2,000 years ago. However, while we are going to read about the remarkable, earth-shaking events of that day, this is not a history lesson. The story of Pentecost does tell us how Christ's first disciples reached the ...read more

    We frequently look in other directions to try to see spiritual transformation for our churches. Our only hope is a move of the Spirit, who can bring the dead to life.

    DRY BONES: There are moments that seem hopeless. - Ezekiel 37:1-3a. - The immediate context here is the life of Israel. Things had become hopeless for them. - Their disobedience had led them to a place of despair and defeat. As they looked at their ability to stand up to their enemies, the army ...read more

    There are a lot of jokes about growing old. For example, it has been said:

    We're over the hill but don't feel sad This side of the hill ain't all that bad. So give us "five" and then a smile To us who have been here for awhile. With by-pass pain and mended hip And plumbing fixtures prone to drip; We all may seem a sorry lot, But we rejoice for what ...read more

    Live As Children Of Light

    Contributed by Mathew Philip on Mar 27, 2023
     | 3,149 views

    Light is just as necessary in our spiritual life as it is in our physical life. In the spiritual realm, darkness means whatever is contrary to the God.

    Paul started the chapter saying that the goal of the Christian life is perfect imitation of God. Paul is exhorting the believers in Jesus Christ to "Live as children of light." (Ephesians 5:8) because God is light. The apostle John said that one day, “we shall be like him, because we ...read more

    Expecting Miracles

    We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

    Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more

    Jesus calls us to live the life we have now. Too often, we are so busy lamenting the past or reaching for the future that we miss what He wants us to do presently.

    Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other’s business.

    . Too many people do this still today, they run to God’s grace desiring eternal life in heaven, but quickly pull back from God at the first hint of obligation or responsibility to this grace we freely enjoy.

    Intro: A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. His father returned from church holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked, "Why do you have that palm branch, dad?" "You see, when Jesus came into town, everyone waved Palm Branches to honor ...read more

    What kind of a gift are you leaving for your children and for those who are around you. What kind of words will speak from beyond the grave when you are no longer able to speak.

    I want to talk to you today about my father. I dedicate this message and the remainder of this service to the “Bishop”.

    Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

    I begin this morning with an invocation from my favorite poet, the bard of Baltimore, Ogden Nash, who addressed our favorite god in prayer: “Oh, money, money, money; some may think thee holy. But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more
