Come Holy Spirit

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024

It was on this day, in the Book of Acts, that the Holy Spirit was poured out on 120 Followers of Christ who were gathered in an Upper Room at Jerusalem. It was on this day that the Church was born in a “Blaze of Glory.”

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video on “Holy Spirit.” The word “Pentecost” designates the 50th day after Passover, which was a Feast Day. Also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Harvest.

Sing, Sing, Sing Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021

How do we live in harmony? The secret is in the Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer of the end-times that we recite in one voice every time we gather for Liturgy.

2nd Sunday of Advent With this great reading about John the Baptist from Matthew’s Gospel, you probably expect me to sermonize on repenting of sin as a preparation for Christmas. You might anticipate an exhortation to examine your consciences, identify those actions and attitudes that estrange ...read more

Brought To Life; Brought Together Spirit Filled Living: A Husband’ S Love Ephesians 5:25-27 Series

Contributed by David Taylor on Jan 21, 2025

Today we see that God calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (5:25-27). My big idea is pretty simple, Christ’s love for his church is the pattern for a husband’s love for his wife.

We are continuing our series in Ephesians, Brought to Life; Brought Together. We are in chapter five, where Paul discusses marriage. So far, we have looked at God’s vision for marriage to display Christ’s relationship with his church (5:31-32). Then we saw that God calls wives to respect and ...read more

One Another Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 30, 2022

We, the Church, need to provoke and encourage each other more than ever to go out and share that hope with a world desperately in need of some hope and encouragement.

Flying sure ain’t what it used to be … amen? You have to get to the airport three hours before your flight … go through the TSA checkpoint and get scanned … and then you have to wait and hope that your flight isn’t delayed … or worse, canceled.

Hope for Broken People!; Putting Humpty Dumpty Together Again. 2 Corinthians 5: 16-21

Three weeks ago, I quoted Rick Warren who said, “You were made for a mission. God is at work in the world and he wants you to join him. This assignment is called your mission…” “Your life mission,” he goes on to say, “is both shared and specific. One part of it is a responsibility you share with ...read more

Against All Likelihood

Excuse Me, But I Got To Press On

Contributed by Rev. M Edmunds on Oct 12, 2005

“The Ultimate Glory-Moving together in one direction, purpose and toward one goal.”

Paul, who is the writer of our text, challenges the Philippian church to press on in unity to become the best that they could be for Christ. Rather than be complacent with where they were, they needed to set their sights higher. As men and women of God who have different perspectives, needs, and ...read more
