When Catastrophe Happens, What Next?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 29, 2022

No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

Ascension 2022 I polished up my Ascension Day homily last Sunday. Then I tore it up on Tuesday afternoon. Senseless, mindless murder down the road in Uvalde, a place many of us have visited or lived. When catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, don’t we all grieve, and ask “Lord, WHY?” “What ...read more

The Unfinished Benediction

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 1, 2018

From Easter to the ends of the earth, via the Ascension of Jesus.

THE UNFINISHED BENEDICTION. Luke 24:44-53. Easter had been a hectic, confusing day: but, in our text, Jesus pointed the disciples first to His own words, and then to the Old Testament Scriptures in order that they might put some meaning on all that had happened (Luke 24:44-45). This is where we ...read more

"An Upper Room Experience”

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 2, 2018

Five things the disciples discoverd that forever changed their lives.

Well, it’s another Easter Sunday. This one Sunday of the year has come to be associated with people dressing up in extra nice clothes, egg hunts, family gatherings, and time off from work. But it’s so much more than that. It’s a Sunday in which we celebrate in a special way, the historical fact of ...read more

"he Ascended Into Heaven"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Sep 21, 2020

Of all the aspects of Christ’s life, his birth, life, death and resurrection, the ascension gets little attention. This is unfortunate because it is something of the ‘Ticker-tape’ parade in God’s plan and yet few show up to applaud.

If you are a sports fan you love the game. You follow your team through the season, whether baseball or football, through the hard fought wins and crushing defeats. The excitement increase should your team make the playoffs. Each game now carries greater importance. In fact, in football loose and ...read more

The Ascension Of Jesus

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 1, 2019

Let go to go

The Ascension marks the beginning of a new phase in Christ’s relationship to humanity, kind of a "spiritual presence of the absence“ for baptized believers. After all, “Christianity was founded upon the loss of a body,” writes the Jesuit historian Michel de Certeau, what he calls “an ...read more

Evangelize On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

"Evangelism is the ultimate goal of the kingdom focused church, and everything the church does has to contribute one way or another to reaching that goal. It’s also true that church growth without evangelism is impossible" - Gene Mims

This morning we’ll be viewing the purpose of “evangelism.” So, what is evangelism? In his book, The Kingdom Focused Church, Gene Mims (a former President of LifeWay Christian Resources) defines evangelism as “the process of sharing the gospel with the lost and winning them to Christ, thereby ...read more

Waiting For God..oh! Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on May 10, 2018

Not all forms of waiting are the same. Imagine 3 different sets of people waiting at a bus stop...

Not all waiting is the same. If you have got three sets of people waiting at a bus stop, the emotions they are going through could be entirely different. One brother and sister are waiting for the bus to go to Ealing Hospital as they have everyday this week. They doesn’t know what they will find ...read more

The Easter Potential Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Easter is the day God made it clear to man that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to find the fountain of life. He, and He alone, has the power to make life immortal.

One of the reasons that Ferdinand and Isabella supported Columbus in his scheme to find a new world was their hope that he would also find the fountain of life. When Columbus landed he searched for it, and he questioned the Indians about the legendary fountain that would make old men young again. ...read more

Believe It Or Not Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Believe it or not, there was not a single Christian who even showed a sign of belief in the resurrection of Christ until they were compelled to believe by His very appearance.

The Ascension Of Jesus Christ: The Final Command Of Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 26, 2021

The moral of that story: It’s your job to share the gospel. And don’t let anyone temper your zeal. Jesus is alive. Everyone needs to know that.

"D.L. Moody made a deal with God that he would witness for Christ to at least one person each day. One night, about ten o- clock, he realized that he had not yet witnessed; so he went out in to the street and spoke to a man standing by a lamppost, asking him, "Are you a Christian?" ...read more

-We Are Acts.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 24, 2024

Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

-We Are Acts. Luke 24:44-53 The first four books of the New Testament are commonly called the gospels. The fifth book, The Acts of the apostles, is tied to Luke by common authorship. So Luke wrote the gospel of Luke, and the book of Acts. That is important, because Luke gives us two accounts of ...read more
