A sermon on prayer from the book of Acts (Much material taken from Jerry Paul's sermon called "Restore New Testament Prayer" http://www.thecra.org/avitems.htm under 2006 Symposium)

HoHum: Daniel Henderson- In our culture of rugged individualism we have come to the conclusion that it is better to pray alone than with others.  Unfortunately, most of us never learn to do either one very well.  Like most disciplines of the Christian faith, we learn best to pray alone when we have ...read more

The Real Enemies Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Sep 19, 2013

We begin chapter 4 by seeing that the real enemies of Christ show up to put a stop to what Peter and John are saying. They’re kind of OK with the healing, but they are not OK with whom they are giving credit to for the healing

Peter and John, the rock and the one Jesus loved most, the two men who were without a doubt closest to Jesus when he walked the earth. Just walking down the street outside the MTS centre in Winnipeg, they see a crippled beggar outside the arena asking them for a few bucks. They don’t turn ...read more

Creating New Strongholds - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 5, 2019

We examine the strongholds operating in Peter and John when they were confronted by the religious leaders

Can You Be Threatened?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 4, 2018

Many in the Body of Christ are living in compromise. They are allowing the world to dictate what they will and will not believe about the Bible. How does this happen? Peter and John's confrontation with the religious leaders in Acts 4 shows us how.

I was thinking about Bro. Alain’s message this morning and what saddens me so much is how much of the Body of Christ is living in compromise and we don’t even realize it. And I thought about a Republican senator here in Ohio who came out strong and hard against homosexuality. He came out strong and ...read more
