    The Apostle John wrote that in his day, the spirit of Antichrist was already at work in the world. It has not changed. The spirit of Antichrist is still at work in our day.

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the ...read more

    THE FIRST CONVERT IN EUROPE (ACTS 16:9-16)

    A WHOLE NEW WORLD (ACTS 16:1-15) A whole new world emerged to me when I moved from USA to Hong Kong in 2008 after living there for 21 years. Hong Kong was the gateway to China, the pearl of the Orient, and, more importantly, my wife’s hometown. I had no choice. Doris said, “If you’re not going to ...read more

    Apostles' Creed: He Descended Into Hades Series

     | 4,165 views

    1. Jesus joined humanity in mortal life and death. 2. Jesus frees us from fear of loss. 3. Jesus frees us from fear of abandonment.

    APOSTLES’ CREED: He Descended into Hades When we talk about the Apostles’ Creed in membership classes, I ask people if they have questions they want to talk about. Almost always, someone asks about the phrase, “He descended into hell.” What does that mean? Honestly, I don’t know exactly what the ...read more

    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 26, 2020
     | 6,268 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Paul's second prayer for the church in Ephesus is a great model of how we can pray for our church and for other churches today, for God to strengthen his people with power.

    PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH INTRODUCTION We’ve now come to the sixth and last in our mini-series on prayer. We first looked at Gideon’s prayer for guidance. Then we spent two weeks on the Lord’s Prayer. Then we had two weeks on Daniel’s prayer of confession on behalf of his people. Today we’re ...read more

    Last week we looked at the difference between worshiping false gods and the one, true God as well as looking at the differences between the false gospel and the real gospel. Today, I will focus on how Jesus is the real thing and Satan is not.

    THE REAL THING (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the difference between worshiping false gods and the one, true God. We saw God warning his people to not have images of God or to worship idols of wood and stone. And God told them what would happen if they did. He told them they would find ...read more

    A powerful part of prayer is telling God how much we "adore" Him. Have you ever done that? Do you know why it is important that you do do that?

    (This was the first of two sermons preached by our Associate Minister Scott Jewell while I was in Israel) OPEN: “I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.” -- D. L. Moody We’re going ...read more
