    We all want to "sprout spiritual wings" to fly high in God, but are we willing "wait upon the Lord" so that he can give us the wings?

    SPROUTING WINGS TO FLY Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Everybody loves to think about the ability and power to fly. Even though there are a ...read more

     | 35,038 views

    Pentecostal power comes when we recognize: 1. The Christian life is not about keeping rules, but about knowing Christ. 2. The Christian life is not just about salvation, but about transformation. 3. You overcome apathy with zeal.

    John Wimber was a product of the Jesus movement in the 60’s. He met Christ in a dramatic way, and began reading the New Testament, beginning with the Gospels and then on to the book of Acts. He was excited about what he was reading, but when he went to a church he was disillusioned. The polite ...read more

    First-person account of Peter, at the time of the cockcrow denial, remembering the times he had embarassed himself and Jesus when he could have made a witness.

    This knife, this bloody knife! Why did I keep it, why did I not throw it into the Brook Kidron while I had a chance? It could become evidence. They will have the assault weapon and they will tie me to it. Great God, I am going to be arrested! I am going to be taken prisoner. Who knows what ...read more

    Last Sunday night we looked at the condition of the Temple and discovered the doors and been broken down according to 2 Chronicles 29:3. Relating this to our lives, we are the temple of the living God if we are believers. It is a real possibility for us, through disrepair, to allow a thief ...read more

    For anyone who wants to know God, the church is essential.

    Let’s imagine it’s sometime this afternoon. You’re at home, working in the front yard, and you see a moving van stop a couple of houses down the street. Two men get out of the truck and start unloading furniture. Then you see a minivan pull up to the curb, and a family gets out. You want to be a ...read more

    A right standing with God does not come through 1. correct beliefs, or 2. correct moral conduct, but 3. through an ongoing relationship with God.

    What should our attitude and praying be like since we have been enlisted in the war-time effort of spreading the gospel?

    As your turning to Acts 4:23-31, I want to read what John Piper wrote concerning prayer. Listen to the imagery that he uses as he describes the true purpose of prayer. “Life is war. That’s not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of ...read more

    based on 39 ratings
     | 7,789 views

    This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

    What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

    If we live by the Spirit, it wil change how we live as part of the community of God’s people. We’ll care for one another, care for God’s ministers, never weary in doing good, and keep our focus clear.

    Since we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. That’s Paul’s summary statement at the end of ch 5. We’ve spent all this time talking about how our salvation comes through the grace of God alone, how it’s faith alone that’s needed for us to be right with God, how nothing we can do ...read more
