    This sermon explores cultivating a steadfast, fruitful faith through fostering fellowship, obedience to Jesus, and spiritual growth, as exemplified in Acts 11:22-24.

    Good morning, beloved family. Today, I want to ask a simple question for us to consider: How do we cultivate a faith that is not only steadfast but also fruitful? It’s been said: "A good character when established is not easily overthrown." And this is the essence of our discussion this morning. We ...read more

    If you want a growing church that builds itself up in love, then accept your spiritual gifts, develop them and use them wherever and whenever you can.

    When a local church broke ground for a new 500-seat sanctuary, an inventive church member made sure everyone could participate in the experience. The man attached a 145-foot handle to a stainless steel spade so that all 300 members could squeeze together to turn the first shovel full of dirt. A ...read more

    This is a Scriptural examination of the gift of tongues. The Word of God defines the gift as well as describes its purpose, proper usage and active duration within the Church.

    Of all the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, none has provoked more interest and fascination than that of the gift of tongues. This is not only true of the last one hundred years, with the advent of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement, but even in the 1st Century as is evidenced by the ...read more

    The Corinthian believers had powerful and impressive spiritual gifts, but Paul is essentially telling them those gifts don’t really impress God as much as three others that they seemed to have forgotten. What were those 3 gifts, and why were they better?

    Kids learn quickly. But they see life and love from their own point of view. Asked what the thought about “falling in love” several children gave these answers: · Tom, age 5 - Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife. · Glenn, 7 - If falling love is anything like learning how to ...read more

    We do not deserve any good thing from God, but He is a giver. Indeed, it is “by grace (we) have been saved through faith, and that not of (ourselves); it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
