    As children begin their early school years we need to begin teaching in earnest the necessity of salvation and what the Bible has to say concerning right and wrong in order to give them a good foundation for developing godly character.

    The Divine Fire

    It is clear from our Jewish roots and the early church that Pentecost is about a new spiritual experience. It is about a promise and it is about how we are changed when we receive this promise of the Holy Spirit. It is also about a harvest.

    The Divine Fire We look back today at the first evidence of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the early days of the Christian Church. This movement by the Holy Spirit is a promise fulfilled by Jesus and a promise fulfilled by prophecy as St. Peter tells us from Joel Chapter 2 . Jesus ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,596 views

    Following the movement of the Ark in early Israelites history, we learn that God is holy and that means that he is not a commodity, but Lord. It also means that even though Joy is appropriate and even commanded, God must be approached with reverence befor

    Last week we saw that the number one characteristic of God is that he is holy. We need to understand this about God so we can make sure we are worshipping him and not some caricature of him we have made up in our mind. Do you know what a caricature is? We usually think of it as a picture, such as ...read more

     | 6,439 views

    Easter 6: We are so good at picking sides - at finding reasons to finding reasons to choose reasons for thinking that we are better than others. The lessons of the early church drive us to question this and to ask: For whom is Easter?

    A few years ago some friends from this part of the state visited us when we lived in San Antonio. We took them to lunch at a popular restaurant in San Antonio and there saw a bunch of people wearing “Go, Spurs, Go” t-shirts. Being from the Dallas area – my friend was, of course, rooting for the ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,263 views

    This early church was so powerful. . .one reason was that they had discovered that each person had gifts, and they used them to MEET NEEDS! The question is, "How can I find MY gifts for ministry?" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Acts 2:41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 ¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders ...read more

    In our text about the early church let’s consider some of the growth problems they faced and how they overcame them. Or some of the things that hindered their growth. 1- Complaining 2- Lack of workers 3- Poor organization

    INTRO.- Growth problems. Ever had any? I have. I was born with a heart murmur. Guess I got over it. I’m still here after running many marathons in my forties.

     | 4,571 views

    The gospel message ofJesus Christ is the essence of teaching by those of the early Church. The question is, How do we respond to that Gospel message? The Church at Colossae received it, sent it out, and found it to be the Power of God.

    When God needed to lift the gospel from the Jewish context that predominated in the early church, He knew that it would take a special man. And He had just such a man prepared. Truly, Paul had a unique commission.

     | 9,850 views

    The early church took full advantage of the community developed within the body of Christ. As Christ designed the church, He intended for us to benefit from one another while we each contribute to the welfare of the entire body.

    The Blessing of Community Acts 2: 44-47 The verses we have read offer insight into the makeup of the early church. This was a very exciting time in the lives of those within the church.

    The early Church walked in Pentecostal power. Church services were powerful and what we call today “Spirit-filled or Full Gospel”. They featured spiritual worship, anointed preaching, teaching, and the supernatural gifts of Holy Spirit.

    1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.

    Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,324 views

    The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

    WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2.

    Bond Slave Of Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2017
     | 6,625 views

    The more deeply a person surrenders to Christ and becomes dependent on Him daily, the more likely they are to finish the spiritual race in victory. Early Christians described it with the metaphor "bond-slave." It's what we're supposed to be!

    BOND SLAVE OF CHRIST 1 Cor. 6:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A SURE-FIRE SOLUTION 1. "I could sure do with your help, Steve," Isaac said to his best friend. “All right, so what's your problem?" replied Steve. 2. "Whenever I talk to my wife," replied Isaac, "she never seems to be interested in ...read more
