    What do you have of value? When we have Jesus, there is great value ion what we have.

    “The Miracle in What You Have” Acts 3:1-26 What do you have of value? Consider the following first-person account. “Bad luck – the light turned red, and I was trapped standing at the corner. I prayed for it to change quickly. He was standing too close to me. And besides, it ...read more

    How do you do "church"? Is it about going to a building and singing songs, praying prayers and listening to a sermon... or is there something more to it than that?

    OPEN: Years ago at summer camp I learned this little song. If you know it sing along with me: Peter and John went to pray. They met a lame man on the way. He held out his palm and asked for an alm, and this is what Peter did say: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In ...read more

    When people acknowledge the Savior, they acknowledge the need for being saved from a condition of sinfulness. Jesus had already paid for their sins, but they would not experience his forgiveness unless they turned (repented) to God. Don’t ignore the Lord’

    Opening illustration: In 2010, auto manufacturers recalled a staggering 20 million cars in the US for various defects. The thought of such a large number of defective cars on the road is startling enough. But what is more disturbing is the apathy of some owners. In one instance, the executive ...read more

    I'm generally not a fan of commercials, but one that I continue to chuckle at, involves the "back to school theme". Seeing joyous parents singing "it's the most wonderful time, of the year" at the prospect of their kids going back to school, always puts a smile on my face. Fall tends to be a ...read more

    In this message the fcous is on how the resurrection changed everything. One man recently told me that his church does not make a "big deal" of the cross. The cross and the resurrection are CENTRAL to our faith. Without them we have nothing.

    “The Power of the Resurrection” Acts 3:11-26 A crowd has now gathered to see a man who has just been healed. Imagine that for years and years they have watched as this man’s family and friends have carried him everyday to the Temple gate to beg for money. That was his job....that was his ...read more

    Repentance is the first word of salvation. Without repentance, there is no salvation.

    This man is running around screaming with joy. You couldn’t stop but notice it. He was making such a hoopla you would have thought that he won a million dollars. People stopped what they were doing, you could see the smiles on their faces when they heard the man shout for joy - then, you could see ...read more

    God’s dealings with Israel provide us with an object lesson about sin, repentance, and responsibility.

    Will Israel Repent? (Acts 3:11-26) [Note: I only got halfway through this sermon in 1/2 hour; I ended up doing this in 2 parts; the "second part" is found in the next sermon in my "Jerusalem Jews for Jesus" series]. 1.

    One of the things that traps us in our places of emotional and spiritual and relational lameness is that we get to a point where we cannot really imagine life differently.

    God is not interested in us visiting places we cannot inhabit or possess. This timely message examines the level of living that God wants for us. God’s goal is more than repentance and reival.

    At the dramatic conclusion of the musical, Camelot, the tragic figure of King Arthur calls a boy named Tom out of the bushes. Arthur dubs the boy a “Knight of the Round Table,” but orders him not to fight in the battle. He is to “grow up and grow strong” in order to tell of the ideals and ...read more

    We are to direct people’s attention to Jesus. We have faith in the Person of Jesus, not faith in ’faith’ or our efforts. The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.

    It is not an everyday affair that you see a miracle. These men just did and they were shocked. • The people stared at Peter and John as if they were the ones who made this man walked (v.12). • Peter directed the people’s attention to JESUS.

    This sermon examines what the message of the church should consist of.

    * The "real" message a church sends determines that church’s reputation - If always bickering and fighting, the message is sent: "We don’t like each other...or you." - If always doing things for self, the message is sent: "It’s all about us, not you." - If never reaching out, the message is sent: ...read more
