Real Worship Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 11, 2014

Waiting On The Spirit

Contributed by Bishop Johnathan Hester on Mar 11, 2011

Think about how comical this must appear from the Lord’s perspective. The apostles (led by Peter) decide the 12th position is empty and therefore it needs to be filled (appropriately reasoned). The only problem is - it is they who chose the two men; cast

Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.

Saturday - The Day Of Darkness And Hopelessness Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2022

The biblical record of what took place on that Saturday between crucifixion Friday and resurrection Sunday is very brief. It was the Sabbath, and the disciples kept the Sabbath. There are important lessons for us to learn from what the disciples were surely going through on that dark Saturday.

A. There’s an old saying that goes “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” 1. The saying is meant to suggest that things always seem to get worse before they get better. 2. And the saying also suggests that the dawn will come, that we need to persevere through hard times, because things will get ...read more
