Longing For The Good Old Days

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 19, 2020

Many Christians long for a bygone era of glory - the early church, perhaps, or the 1950s. This sermon looks at that desire to go backward and where we should focus instead.

LONGING FOR THE "GOOD OLD DAYS": 1. THE EARLY CHURCH. - Acts 2:1-4, 41-47; Acts 15:1-41; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13. - Probably the first time that comes to mind is the early church as the “good old days.” - And as we look at Acts 2:1-4, 41-47, there is much to rejoice in. - But we have to ...read more

The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East.

Is God dead? God's not dead. please help me to contact the producers of the movie "Gods not dead" please inform them that I have excellent proof of Gods existence - from the Bible, proving Gods existence it would blow their minds/ for part 2 of the movie

They say: God is not dead? Is He is still in control. So, why then are we experiencing so much suffering and pain here on earth? Does God even care? Is He trying to punish us or did He forget us.

God Remembers Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 4, 2021

During our annual reading of the Bible, we read the words, but there is a vast difference between reading words and comprehending the ...read more

The Spirit Of Grace & Supplication Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 27, 2011
