    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 30, 2018
     | 9,262 views

    To serve God well, we need to do many things; the most basic things are simple concepts: being led by God and reaching out to others.

    The Change of Plans That Changed History (Acts 16:6-15) 1. A guy goes in for a job interview and sits down with the boss. The boss asks him, “What do you think is your worst quality?” The man says “I’m probably too honest.” The boss says, “That’s not a bad thing, I think being honest is a good ...read more

    3rd century history of Christianity

    Church History A.D. 201 – A.D. 300 I’m going to use a bit of artistic license today. So that it’s easier to get into the picture of what Christianity was like in the 3rd century A.D, I am going to attempt to go back in time using a time machine. I am only 22 years old so ...read more

     | 3,870 views

    All over the Bible God talks about His Sovereignty. Here are the incidents in the books of History, from Joshua through Esther. God does what He wills!

    Joshua When God sets His love, that is one thing. But when God sets His judgment, it is quite the other, but no less definite. The summarizing of Joshua's conquests is in the book by that name, chapter 11, verses 18-20. First, there was a long war. Next, virtually no city was exempt from the ...read more

    The Major Dynamics Of Church Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 15, 2021
     | 1,927 views

    Our personal histories, church history, our culture and experiences all color our view as to what church is about. We need to recalibrate and correct our assumptions by returning to the Scriptures.

    The Major Dynamics of Church Life (Romans 15:1-13) NOTE: If I could do it over again, I would make three sermons from this text. All three points could have used more elaboration than I gave them. In the first point, I could have demonstrated further that the New Testament purpose for church ...read more

    Daniel 11 is an amazing chapter. The first 35 verses were future for Daniel, but are history for us. The last 10 verses were future for Daniel and are still future for us! What this means for us and how can we apply it to our lives today.

    Lessons from history as found in the book of Judges

    One of my favourite lines from the TV series, Mash, was the statement that this was the latest ’war to end all wars’. The point they were making of course was that we never seem to learn from history. No matter how bad our experience of history is, we never seem to be able to learn our lesson so we ...read more

    The influence of Babylon turns the simple organization of Jesus into a world power that does untold damage to its surroundings. The true church survives and is persecuted.

    The Book of Acts records two great "Pentecostal" experiences in the early church. But often, throughout church history, many personal “Pentecosts” have occurred.
