Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jan 15, 2020

In anti-Christian environments, mature Christians are called upon to be faithful by continuing the work that Jesus began both to teach and to do - willing to cross all kinds of barriers to carry the gospel to any and every one.

The Gift Of Baptism

Contributed by Betty Johnson on Jun 28, 2012

This message unpacks some of the statements made about baptism and leads the believer, hopefully, to make a clear decision about their own theology of baptism. This message preceded a full immersion, believers' baptism.

The Gift of Baptism Scripture: Acts 8:26-40 We’re going to consider several passages of scripture today, but this one is the key passage for what I think is the main consideration for today - at least it was for me this week. Today is Baptism Sunday. It’s a very special day in the ...read more

Obvious Evangelists And The Crazy Woman

The Birth Of A New Believer Series

Contributed by Rick Crandall on May 19, 2017

The spiritual birth of a new believer is the greatest miracle that can ever happen in anyone’s life! -- So marvel at the miracle: 1. of God’s interest (vs. 26-28). 2. of God’s intricacy (vs. 27-33). 3. of our involvement (vs. 29-37).

"only Use Words When Necessary??"

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 30, 2021

There are a couple of saying attributed to Francis of Assisi that have always been troubling to me. Every time we hear something from a preacher past or present what are we to do? We are to search the Scriptures to see if it is so, so let's do so!

Was Francis Right? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” And our memory ...read more

An Act Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus who said to go into all the world and baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It was an act of obedience on Philip's part to baptize the Ethiopian and act of obedience on his part to be baptized.

Some of the best things in life can be so bad. It is somewhat shocking, but Lewis B. Smedes in his book Caring and Commitment points out that even commitment can be a bad thing. The purpose of the book is to get Christians more committed, but he points out the negative side of this very ...read more

"staying Connected"

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021

In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more
