Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more

Being Convicted By The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 25, 2022

Jesus promised the disciples that He would send His Holy Spirit to be with them. Jesus also promised that same promise to us. He won't leave us alone either because His Holy Spirit indwells us.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we fully understand loss. Whether it is the loss of a parent, or a spouse, or a child to death or the loss of a close friend because of a relocation, we know the pain of losing someone that is meaningful to us. The gospels describe such a loss for the ...read more

Preparation For Separation Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 10, 2021

How would disciples relate to God and the world once Jesus was gone? How do we relate to them now that the Holy Spirit has come? Jesus provides vital guidance for believers today.

To Whom Shall We Go?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2022

When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 24, 2022

What Paul is wanting the church in Ephesus to know - and for us to know as well - is that we have a wonderful and glorious identity in Christ. Unfortunately, there are many believers today that do not understand or live into their God-given birthright as adopted children of God.

We Are Not Alone - Comforter Is With Us!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 6, 2022

Jesus bodily presence was limited, the Holy Spirit would be unlimited. The Holy Spirit would be in every place, teaching them, reaching them with insight and clarity. The presence of the Holy Spirit would be as valuable to the disciples as the bodily presence of Jesus had been.
