    Gypsy Smith, a British evangelist during the late 19th and early 20th century said the way to have revival is to draw a circle around yourself, get down on your knees and pray, “Lord send a revival and let it begin inside of this circle.” The reason I ch

    Believer and fellowship go hand n hand. The early church gained momentum because of fellowship. Remember, Jesus ordained the body as His living-breathing believers. Jesus also clarified, that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church—His body. Meaning me and you.

    This year may have tested you. It may have drained you. It may have humbled you. It may have taken things from you. But do not close the chapter early. God is still writing. Heaven is still moving. The story is not finished. Divine remembrance is still possible.

    BEFORE THIS YEAR ENDS, GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU There are seasons when the human heart feels forgotten. Not because God has abandoned us, but because the situation has lasted longer than expected. Many people quietly wonder, “Will this year end without a change? Will my prayers remain unanswered? ...read more

    This message shares stories and events that glimpse the supernatural realm and the God of miracles. He demonstrated His strength in the early church and continues to do so today. The Lord knows those who are His, and this foundational truth gives us hope, which we call an anchor of our soul.

    Back in the early days of Pentecost, when saints would gather together in church, they didn’t ask, “How are you doing?” They didn’t ask, “What’s new?” Their greeting was, “ Have you got the victory?” And the answer was, “ Praise the Lord, I sure do!”

    A sermon I had intended to give on Easter Sunday 2020 but was prevented by stay-at-home order from the Governor because of the COVID19 pandemic. It addresses Jesus' resurrection in connection with the "first resurrection" of Revelation 20 and the universal resurrection.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate mounted on a beautiful white horse. Nearly 2000 years before, Jesus had entered Jerusalem through the Eastern gate mounted upon a humble donkey. Two dignitaries entered the same city in two different ways. Why the differences?

    OPEN: The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II and, in 1898 he decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At the time, the once great Jerusalem was in serious need of attention. So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more

    David’s life was filled with blessings and failures, good times and not so good times. He learned early on in his life how to cry out for God’s mercy when he was lost and lonely, rejected and afflicted. God had taught David to pray and how to pray. We

    LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY Part Two Last week we looked at a couple of the stories of David and we found that he is most known for what is recorded in Acts 13:22 - David became the “a man after My (God’s) own heart, who will do all My (God’s) will.” We also noted that David’s life was not a ...read more

    How Do We Run The Race When We Can’t Run?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 5,698 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

    For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more

     | 1,573 views

    Christians were never meant to journey alone. The church provides essential encouragement through fellowship offering mutual support, worship lifting our spirits, and shared experiences strengthening our bonds. We need to actively encourage one another, following the early church's example.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Iron — FreeBridge Media We need each other. We were not made to walk through this life alone.

    Part 4 of this series describes what the first Christians were like, some of the things they did in Christianity's earliest days, and the spread of Christianity in the region and the world.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years.

    Though the word “serve” isn’t explicitly mentioned in Acts 2:42-47, the early church served each other. As Jesus demonstrated service by washing His disciples' feet, we are to serve one another through our gifts, tangible acts of help, prayer, hospitality, and generosity.
