Mother's Day 2019 - Finding Hope In A Broken World

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 10, 2019

The life of a Jesus follower should be one of hope in a world filled with broken relationships. Is there hope? Or, is the best we can hope for is being "broken together"?

Acts Of The Apostles (9 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In chapter 5, we discovered that the Lord had to purge the early church of hypocrisy.

The people learned to fear the Lord, and those who loved Him went on serving Him faithfully, filling all of Jerusalem with their doctrine. Look at Acts 5:28, We read, “Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your ...read more

The Choosing Of A Deacon (Ordination Service)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022

One thing the devil has been very successful at doing is taking something that God created, and using it for his own evil purpose.

For example, God gave mankind the wisdom and the ability to produce television sets for our homes, to provide wholesome and godly programs to be a blessing to our families. But look how the devil has taken the “scum” of Hollywood to corrupt the minds of our families. The devil has used television ...read more

Faithful Deacons Acts 6:1-7 This morning we come back to our series through the book of Acts. We arrive at chapter six.

Stephen Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 11, 2020

If you take away anything from Stephen’s message today, it should be this: Jesus is all you need. Say it with me: “Jesus is all I need.” Say it again: “Jesus is all I need!”

If you saw Stephen on the streets of Jerusalem or in the market, he probably wouldn’t seem very different from you or me. A good man … a good neighbor … a good friend … a hard worker … always ready to help. Maybe a good husband … we don’t know if he was married or not. Lately he had been ...read more

Growing Pains Series

Contributed by Scott Jewell on Oct 16, 2016

The good news and the bad news is that growth brings people and new people bring different ideas. What do we do in times of conflict? Check out these thoughts from the church in Jerusalem.

Growing pains- they can be a good thing. There’s a saying that goes, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Growing pains can also be bad- after all, they’re a pain. It hurts. As a child growing to maturity, there are a number of times you go through ...read more

“the Dynamic Impact Of A Good Deacon”

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Feb 19, 2014

In Acts 6, we see what kind of positive impact the effective ministry of the deacon can have on a local church.

The early church was experiencing phenomenal growth, marvelous miracles, pulsating power, and unlimited blessings. Then, right in the middle of this success story, dissension arose. The Greek speaking widows were being neglected in favor of the Hebrew speaking widows. The Apostles said that they ...read more

Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023

Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

Sermon # 7 - Time To Stop Murmuring Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 21, 2023

Do we find ourselves complaining and murmuring about many things? Why do we do so, and how can we stop doing this? This sermon will help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word.

If we as a church today desire to resemble the early church, and if our aspiration is that people should be added in great numbers, then it is only appropriate that we not only evaluate ourselves in the light of God’s word, but also investigate to see what the early church did differently that made ...read more
