Beyond The Upper Room: The Promised Empowerment Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 1, 2023

The Second Chapter of Acts describes the birth of the church in accordance with the declaration of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 16:13-19). Acts shows the power and direction of the Holy Spirit in the work of the church beyond the day of Pentecost.

Every Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ will confess, affirm, and proclaim that what happened to the one hundred and twenty followers of Jesus on the Day of Pentecost was an undeniable supernatural act of the Holy Spirit in accordance with the teaching and promise given by the Lord Jesus ...read more

Has The Resurrection Changed You?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 22, 2023

If we aren't in awe of the resurrection of Jesus as a historical event, we may only see it as a fairytale. The resurrection is scientifically impossible, but historically true. The resurrection is history-making, earth-shaking, life-transforming, and eternity-changing truth.

Jesus is the risen King who is victorious over death, recognized by His disciples, validated by Scripture, and enthroned over all creation. That truth changes our faith, theology, and life. The resurrection also changes our practical living. The resurrection isn't just a doctrine to believe, ...read more

Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

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 Easter Potential Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

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.

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Apr 7, 2021

A sermon about the Road to Emmaus and beyond.

Post-Resurrection

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 8, 2021

Jesus In The Midst: The Upper Room.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2021

Trying to understand Jesus without the Scriptures is futile, and comprehending Scripture without Jesus opening our understanding is impossible

JESUS IN THE MIDST: THE UPPER ROOM. Luke 24:36-48. What a scene met the two from the Emmaus Road upon their return to Jerusalem! The dejected church was now declaring its Easter message: “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.” To which they added their own testimony of the risen ...read more

Let Your Light Shine

Contributed by Ian Bullock on Apr 15, 2021

A look at how the disciples encountered Christ post resurrection, and how this speaks into the present day filled with hopelessness and apathy, and how as modern disciples the torch has passed to us to continue the work
