    A Time To Wait, A Time Not To Wait Series

     | 2,871 views

    The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

    We gain a lot by studying the book of Acts. We learn about how the church grew in its infancy stage. Now over twenty percent of the world’s population claim to be true disciples of Jesus. But we are starting here with one hundred and twenty loyal believers huddled together in one room. It helps us ...read more

    Philip the deacon has now become Philip the preacher. This message shows us the importance of making friends with those who do not know Christ. We must be available to the lost when they have questions.

    The Power of a Changed Life “Follow that Chariot!” Acts 8:26-40 Philip is now entering a new phase of his ministry. Thousands have now come to Christ and you have to stop and ask the question ... why would God move him from an area where he is touching so many lives in Jerusalem to a place like ...read more

    Jesus came to heal those sick with sin. That means the church is meant to be a hospital for those weighed down with guilt. But what can a church do better heal those lost in their shame?

    A Russian soldier was wounded and was ordered to go to military hospital for treatment. When he arrived he found two doors: One was marked, ‘For the slightly wounded,’ and the other, ‘For the seriously wounded’. Well, he wasn’t seriously wounded so he entered through the first door and found ...read more

    When we we are lost or confused on our life’s journey, we can check the MAPS to find our way back to the straight and narrow path.

    “Honey, Please Follow the Map!” John 11:25-26 Ladies, do these words sound familiar? Have you ever been traveling and you’ve lost your way, and the only solution was to consult the map?

    When inviting Hobab to journey with the children of Israel, Moses would not take "no" for a final answer. So it is that we must continue inviting the lost to come to Jesus.

    COME THOU WITH US, AND WE WILL DO THEE GOOD "And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law: We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord has promised good things to Israel." ...read more

    It would be a terrible thing to live a good life, be a good person and then end up in a terrible place for the rest of eternity. It is not God purpose that any person should be lost.

    Why should I become a Christian? Or, why should I remain a Christian? Rev. 3:21-22 I read an article this morning written by a preacher who really wanted people to become Christians. He came to this conclusion. There are three things that are hard to do. 1. Climb a fence leaning toward you. 2. ...read more

    Jesus’ purpose is to teach us that we have become lost in sin through our own wilful actions and that God has loved us back to Himself.

    “Lost people” have done a cost-benefits analysis and have determined that they do not get enough positive benefits from church participation to merit their continued involvement.

    MEMBERSHIP IS NOT AN OPTION Why do some people who have grown up in the church or having started out so well after being saved as adults run aground or drift away from the Lord? What lures them away? What compels them to leave the church? And why is it the Church in America is having difficulty ...read more

    Done in "Jeff Foxworthy" style: If your religion is all in the head, if you think your good deeds mask your sin, you may be a lost person.

    Jesus said some very tough things. He could be very demanding, very harsh. Jesus could also be funny. He didn’t draw back from using humor if it would make his point. He was tough! He was blunt! He minced no words! And so if your image of Jesus is Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ”, bland and ...read more
