    When I was a Junior in High School, my last class of the day was Chemistry. By that time of the day, I was dragging. I needed a nap, or a candy bar or something to keep me awake. But I never had any of that – just chemistry. And chemistry could not keep me awake. Now I know this has never, ...read more

     | 2,666 views

    If we do as the early church did in verse 42 then we will see God add to our number daily as verse 47 testifies to.

    Serious Talk or Idle Chatter? Introduction Acts 2:41-47 Wednesday night Bro. Tom asked the question of everyone at Bible study, What are your goals for the church? First off let me say thanks to Bro. Tom for being willing to be so bold and ask such a point blank question. Of the few that were here, ...read more

    Pentecost showed a God whose power comes upon us, whose presence rests gently upon us, and whose power manifests through us, to help a world in much need of a loving and forgiving Christ.

    Acts 2:1-21 When God Moves Through Us A few days after Thanksgiving of 2016, Eric Heffelmire was working on his GMC truck at his family home in Vienna, Virginia.

    Three Anchors To Grasp In The Storms Of Life!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021
     | 4,670 views

    The difficulties of life are often referred to as the storms of life. This is appropriate because both storms and the difficulties of life CAN BE DEVASTATING!

    • Some of the difficulties (storms) we face can be a result of our own doing • Some of the difficulties (storms) we face can be a result of the actions of others For example, there are some who feel that they have the right to drink and drive. Since they feel they have this right, they drive down ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,472 views

    The Bible assumes that God does speak to those who seek Him. The context in which He speaks is often, almost exclusively, as people worship.

    “Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the ...read more

    What is expected of new believers? The answer to this question is revealed through examining the life of the first congregation after the body was flooded with a multitude of believers following Pentecost.

    “Those who received [Peter’s] word were baptized, and there were added [to the Faith] that day about three thousand souls. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs ...read more

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

    based on 2 ratings
     | 107,316 views

    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.
