    We are all called to spread the good news , wherever we are placed,(our workplace, our neghborhood, our family, our freids circle etc). We all are evangelists in that aspect. Do we have the right "personality" for Evangelism

    Personality of an Evangelist One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.

    The Way to Pray.

    The focus this month of March is prayer. Prayer is something which most Christians do without even thinking. We normally go through a routine of how we pray and we speak supposedly to God and if we aren’t careful it becomes a rut and a drag to pray, due to it being a repetition. I want you to ...read more

    From our earliest memories of kneeling by the bed to recite, "Now I lay me down to sleep..." pray has played an important role in our lives. If you’ve forgotten the "who, what, when, where, why and how" of praying, here are some helpful "Be-Attitudes" tha

    From our earliest memories of kneeling by the bed and saying, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

    In today’s fast pace, highly technological world, communications come at dizzying speeds and in the most impersonal of ways. In Busines a simple phrase is used to warn folks about over-communication: Be Brief. Be Bright. Be Gone. Thankfully, for the Chris

    Prayer-Works Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,451 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

    We continue today on our topic, “Learning to serve in a Service-less Age”, more specifically looking at “The refurbished Life”. God refurbishes our lives, in part, through “The Habit of Prayer”. I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more

    The Mission of the Church is to love people to Jesus, to love God and all people, and to be part of the enfolding of humanity into the love of God in Christ.

    Our Mission in the Community This week it was discovered that there are at least 10,000 more galaxies than we thought there were before. That’s like 10,000 worlds.

    The Prayer For Boldness

     | 11,069 views

    Do you want boldness? The early disciples found themselves in need of boldness and this is how they got it. Something every believer should be praying.

    When the early church prayed Acts 4:23-31 The Apostles Prayer And being let go they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord You are God, who made ...read more

    Before Easter is a good time to re-evaluate your prayer life. Do you practice the custom of prayer? It is the key to your spiritual growth.

    Custom of Prayer Please read along with me the beginning of Daniel 6- especially v. 10, where we learn about Daniel’s custom of praying.

    Just like there are no longer forbidden foods, the gospel is not withheld from you--though you are a Gentile.

    Fried Rattlesnake (Acts 10) Do you think St. Peter ever ate a snake? Acts chapter 10-11 it says that God showed Peter a vision of a hillbilly banquet coming down out of heaven (this is how some folks prove that heaven is East Texas, but I am not so sure). Anyway, it says there’s a snake on the ...read more
