    Witnessing And Baptism

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 14, 2020
     | 1,449 views

    Today, we'll be looking at the story of Phillip and the Eunuch...

    (Acts 8:26 NKJV) Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desert. (Acts 8:27 NKJV) So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the ...read more

    God loves to position His people to speak with people He has prepared.

    Following Jesus, My Decision For Baptism Series

     | 1,934 views

    Philip was doing a great work in Samaria when the Holy Spirit sent him on what seemed a strange mission: go to Gaza, a desert region, and then get into a chariot. He obeyed, an Ethiopian official believed, and followed the Lord in baptism.

    Foreword: Full disclosure, I am a Southern Baptist and present this message from that perspective. Water baptism is part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28, Mark 16, e.g.) and is mentioned in connection with belief and with becoming a disciple. It is readily admitted there are others who hold ...read more

    The Conquering Christ Series

    Why did Jesus die? Each verse gives part of the answer- Isaiah is still on Friday but we see hints of Sunday (Easter) here (Title, Outline and material adapted from Ray Pritchard at: https://www.keepbelieving.com/sermon/the-conquering-christ/)

    HoHum: Been on Friday the past few months in Isaiah 53. Love this rendition from S.M. Lockridge: It’s Friday, Jesus is praying, Peter’s a sleeping, Judas is a betraying, But Sunday’s a comin’ It’s Friday, Pilate’s struggling, the council is conspiring, the crowd is vilifying, they don’t even know ...read more

    There Is One Baptism Series

    Various churches have various teachings and various practices concerning baptism. But that does not mean that the Bible does not provide us with a good understanding of the will of God in the matter of baptism.

    Alba 5-7-2023 THERE IS ONE BAPTISM Ephesians 4:5 The story is told of a preacher who had just starting serving a new congregation. For eight Sundays in a row he preached about baptism. Finally, the chairman of the elders approached him and said, “Preacher, we get the point about baptism, and so ...read more

    The Work Of An Evangelist

     | 1,504 views

    The Great Commission is our call to evangelize the world. It applies to every believer, without exception. And if you are a believer, but don’t have the desire to tell others about Jesus...then you are not right with God.

    The Work of an Evangelist Acts 8:26-40 Sitting in his Roman cell, knowing that the time of his death was at hand, the apostle Paul wrote one last letter to his protégé, Timothy, and encouraged him to remain faithful to the very end. He told him to 2Ti 4:5 …be watchful in all things, ...read more

    It Didn’t Just Happen

    The crucifixion of Jesus was not a random incident: it was part of God’s plan from eternity

    It was a journey of some two thousand kilometers—from Jerusalem all the way back to what is modern-day Sudan. The lone traveler had come to worship at the Temple. And I can only imagine that it was for him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As his horse plodded along, he occupied his time by ...read more

    Over the years I have been amazed at some of the ways that the Holy Spirit gets our attention. In this message Casey tells how the Holy Spirit finally got through to him. And I would like for you to hear his story too.

    The Bible declares to us in Ephesians 4:5 that there is only "One Baptism". This is of course Scriptural Baptism, which is Right Kind of Baptism... and must involve the Right Person.

    37) THE RIGHT BAPTISM OF THE RIGHT PERSON We Believe In One Baptism – Involving The Right Person.

    I have a great plan to reach people for Jesus. It's a plan used by Jesus and by Philip. Do you know what it is and are you willing to help me make it happen?

    A couple of people from a church were going door to door, knocking on doors and passing out information about Christ and their church. One woman answered who was not at all happy to see them. She told them in no uncertain terms, that she didn’t want to hear message and slammed the door in their ...read more

    We need to operate in the following four areas, in order to be connected with God and receive His guidance: 1. obey God’s voice, 2. be sensitive to the spirit, 3. have an understanding of the scripture, and 4. be adding souls to the kingdom.

    Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

     | 1,043 views

    Remember that we read in the sixth and seventh chapters of Acts, about the life and death of that great deacon, Stephen.

    The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

    The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022
     | 1,057 views

    The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

    On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more

    We want to look again at the importance of following good examples.

    We understand the importance, as Christians, of not following the many bad examples that many lost people display in their lives, but NEW CONVERTS do not hear much, or see much, about following the good examples the Bible tells about and the stories of great Christians through the years have set ...read more

    There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

    There was an antique collector passing through a small village when he saw an old man chopping wood with an ancient ax. “That’s a mighty old ax you have there,” he remarked. “Yep,” said the villager, “it once belonged to George Washington.” “George Washington??? Not really!" gasped the ...read more
