Sermons on False Disciples:

Dimly Seeing God's Glory Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Jan 27, 2011

In our study tonight Jesus is drawing to a close His teaching for His disciples. The hour is at hand and His arrest is in the very near future! The disciples have a sense that something is going on, but their spiritual perception is dim and limited.

And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death." 34 ...read more

Waiting On The Spirit

Contributed by Bishop Johnathan Hester on Mar 11, 2011

Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.
