    Those Who Believed Were Baptized

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 28, 2020
     | 3,677 views

    In the New Testament accounts, those who believed were baptized. No one was baptized and then believed, but those who believed were baptized because they were saved.

    “When [those listening] heard [Peter’s command] they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will ...read more

    Missed Opportunities

    This sermon is about some basics of prayer that we as Christians seem to have forgotten.

    Missed Opportunities It happened only a few weeks ago. The normal time for prayer came in the service. I had asked for requests. Only one person raised their hand. And so I proceeded with the prayer itself. But the moment I was finished praying hands shot up all over the sanctuary. It ...read more

     | 6,227 views

    We need to seriously examine whether we are in a position to hear God's voice and to obey His commands to us, and to understand that God is able to get our attention if necessary and it may not necessarily be a pleasant experience if we are not in a posi

    Act 9:1-20 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. ...read more

    I’m convinced that when the 6 characteristics of the early church are put into practice, & are evident in our lives, then God will use us to build a great church that brings glory & honor to Him.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A. I’m sure that most of us here this morning would agree that the greatest single event in human history is the resurrection of Jesus. Just seven weeks ago much of the world celebrated that occasion. And today we’re ...read more

    We should do our best to lead others to Christ and not around him.

    Nothing More Powerful

    Nothing is more powerful than a Christian living and sharing his faith. God shows us this here.

    Acts 16:25-34. It is the most powerful force on the face of the earth. And it is also the most under-rated. It can cut through rock. It can move houses and trees and cars. It can rearrange landscape. Take it away, and everything dies. Add it, and things come to life. What is it? It's water. We ...read more

    I Will Not Give To God Anything That Costs Me Nothing Series

    David said: "I won’t make an offering to God that doesn’t cost me something." What a great passage on demonstration of faith in God. Listen! To give without sacrifice is not to give at all. Ornan and David sacrificed but I believe Ornan sacrificed more.

    Moses shows us that sometimes following God is a matter of timing more than ability or training.

    A preacher was invited to an area church to preach. When he began his sermon, there was enthusiasm. The more the congregation responded loud to his sermon, the longer he went on. Finally, he noticed that the host preacher had started responding to his sermon by saying "Amen, Pharaoh." After a ...read more

    Wouldn’t this be a wonderful world to live in if everyone was like Christ? WHAT KIND OF WORLD WOULD IT BE?

    We do not have to guess, the Bible says HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD. Sometimes we hear people talking about someone who has live a godly life, say, “I do not believe he/she has a enemy on this earth”. It is nice to have something like this said about us, but there is not one ounce of truth to it. ...read more

     | 4,332 views

    The call to work out our salvation with fear and trembling is not an exercise of futility but one that is not only attainable but an expectation from the Lord because He is the one who works in us to will and act to fulfill His purpose!
