Hebrews 12: 1 Sermon: Witnesses and witnessing According to the Bible we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. I don’t think this means that we are living our lives on a stage and that the angels and all of God’s people who have died and gone to be with the Lord are up above ...read more

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Sep 14, 2011

Jericho stood directly in the way, between Israel and the Promised Land. Its walls were built well and believed to be able to withstand, anything that an enemy could throw against them, or so they thought!

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop! I want you to think back for just a moment, to what the earliest memory you had as a child, when a world event was taking place. For me, probably the first national event I ever remember, was the rocket that took off and was headed to the moon. Almost anyone you ...read more

Power To Succeed Series

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013

The fact is, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that God has quit working with power through His people – and I have come to the conclusion that the fault does not lie with God, but with those of us who claim to follow Him.

The book of Acts found in your Bibles records for us the history of the early church and how God used ordinary people to build His kingdom. While we call it the “Acts of the Apostles” it would be more accurate to call it the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” as it was the Holy Spirit moving through, in, ...read more
