    Easter Makes A Difference

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 18, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,638 views

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh. Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    Ten Arguments For The Historical Jesus

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 28, 2025
     | 164 views

    Gary Habermas in his book, The Historical Jesus, gives at least 10 evidences. As part of my Apologetics series, I have abbreviated and rewritten them to fit front & back on one piece of paper.

    TEN ARGUMENTS FOR THE HISTORICAL JESUS 1. MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT SOURCES. The existence of multiple independent sources – the four Gospels, Paul’s letters, and other early Christian writings – that attest to the historical existence of Jesus. There wasn’t just one witness to Jesus, but a large number ...read more

    Unable To Be Silenced Series

    The disciples were bold in their witness to what Jesus Christ had done. Attempts by the authorities to silence them failed. God had called them to be his witnesses and they could not keep silent.

    Acts 5:27-32 “Unable to be Silenced” INTRODUCTION There are times that the courage of others amazes us. Recently I viewed the movie, “The Hurt Locker.” It is a story about the war in Iraq. I was amazed and humbled by the courage of the soldiers who were portrayed in ...read more

Our goal is to gain greater insight and understanding about the Church, by studying the early Christians who are portrayed in the Book of Acts. So far we have learned that the early ...read more

    There is a need for the church to turn back to prayer to advance the Kingdom of God

    As we begin 1997, there is an important call, not only in the Assemblies of God, but in churches throughout the world to return to the alter, to return to prayer as a vital part of our Christian life. Throughout the month of January in the evening services I am going to be spending time ...read more

    A sermon on prayer from the book of Acts (Much material taken from Jerry Paul's sermon called "Restore New Testament Prayer" http://www.thecra.org/avitems.htm under 2006 Symposium)

    HoHum: Daniel Henderson- In our culture of rugged individualism we have come to the conclusion that it is better to pray alone than with others.  Unfortunately, most of us never learn to do either one very well.  Like most disciplines of the Christian faith, we learn best to pray alone when we have ...read more

    A sermon about taking Jesus to the party, and why God loves you enough to be born as a baby

    One little known fact about Father Christmas - and I am not making this up - is that in the year 325AD he punched someone in the face. I am sure he was very sorry about it afterwards. It certainly flies in the face of Jesus’s teaching about loving your enemies. Father Christmas is best known for ...read more

    This sermon is for the occassion of an Historic Anniversary (150th) of the church, and remembers the pioneers who have gone before us; but also encourages the pioneers of this present day.

    One can almost imagine the first churches encounter with the beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. There were no Ministerial Alliance S.O.P.’s… No gas vouchers… no Confirmation Classes, nor was there an Evangelism Committee to carry out the year long planning… instead Peter and John found ...read more

    Jesus understood the needs of His disciples before they knew they had a problem. He was preparing them for the trying days He knew were ahead. He was making provision for them so that they could continue to live victorious lives.

    The Lord’s Provision Acts 1:1-11 Series Introduction The Early Church turned its world upside down for Christ. It spread the good news of Jesus in the face of extremely hostile conditions.
