  • The Relevance Of Wonders

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,624 views

    Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

    Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    Sermon: Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Scripture: Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.

    Hope is a gift from God. It effects our outlook and how we interact with others. Hope can keep us alive and help us reach our goals.

    Pandora’s Box Saint Augustine said: "Let those who dread be allowed to hope," But what exactly is hope? I’ll start with Greek Mythology because I’m reminded of the story of Pandora. Mythology stated that Zeus first created only men. Prometheus first stole fire for man then tricked ...read more

  • Ministry Is A Liability

    Contributed by Heather Cook on Jan 4, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,762 views

    A personal story of my first few years in ministry. I tie it into the fact that when you are doing effective ministry you will have enemies. Just as Christ did.

    I was 21 when I first set foot in Connecticut Valley Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. I was nearly a month married, full of enthusiasm and excitement for the adventure of “real” life. Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

    Philippians 2:19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know ...read more

    Living generously creates a ripple effect that can impact others and future generations. Our generosity is a response to Jesus' self-sacrificing love and can inspire others to be generous.

    You know when you toss a pebble into a pond, and it creates ripples that spread out? That's what we're talking about. Our actions, like that pebble, can create ripples that impact others. We've all been influenced by someone, and that person was influenced by someone before them. It's like a chain ...read more
