    To understand how the Holy Spirit influences our lives.

    Pentecost ---------------- Today is Pentecost, the day when we celebrate the birth of the church. Pentecost means 50th day, this is the seventh Sunday after Easter Sunday, and the 50th day of Easter. We didn’t hear that story today, so it’s worth a quick re-cap. Re-Cap of ...read more

    The Proper Attitude In Prayer Series

     | 6,564 views

    Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

    The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more

    The Revelation And The Revealing Of God’s Church

    Paul told these Ephesians what the church was.

    He told the Ephesian church they were as: • A NATION • A FAMILY • A BUILDING • AN ORGANISM • A CHURCH But as we move to chapter 3, he shows us the Lord’s church as a “Mystery”. WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT? When Paul is speaking of a “mystery”, he is speaking of something that had not been revealed ...read more

    Great Messages Of Encouragement #2: Strength To The Weary

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 15, 2022
     | 3,172 views

    In Isaiah's day Judah was invaded by Assyria, threatened by Babylon and ridden with sin. And yet, Isaiah offers a wonderful message of encouragement: 'they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles.' How is that possible?

    Last week we started a series on ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’ in Scripture. Today we’re going to look at a great message of encouragement in Isaiah. It’s at the end of Isaiah 40. Isaiah writes: “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even ...read more

    The scarlet thread that runs through the Bible that emphasizes the importance of sacrifice.

    Mt. Moriah, The Place of Sacrifice While I was studying this week I came across the name of a place called Mt. Moriah. The name Moriah means “God is my teacher,” and how appropriate for us this morning as we look at the importance of this place in the Bible. I did some research and found a gold ...read more

    Obedience Plus Passion Equals…strike The Ground.

     | 4,514 views

    We have a tendency to want Joy without sacrifice. We won't character without suffering. We won't success without failure. We won't gain without pain. We want a testimony without a test. We want it all, without going all in. However it does not work that way, and you know it.

    Obedience Plus Passion Equals…Strike the Ground. 2 Kings 13:14-19AMP We have a tendency to want Joy without sacrifice. We won't character without suffering. We won't success without failure.

    As it was with Elijah, we, too, often face despair.

    It’s critical that we see ourselves and the calling of the disciples was NO different than ours. If we will not share what we know, are we any different than the religious pharisees?

    Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for several reasons -- We can clearly see Luke’s genuine interest in people (career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with society; critical lesson for us - Last week, we unpacked the temptations of ...read more

     | 4,498 views

    The Lord Jesus arrived in Jerusalem hailed by the Jews as the Davidic king who would restore Israel. He arrived not for that purpose, but to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who restored all of HIs people back to God. The first step was to restore His house.

    The final week of Jesus' public ministry had started with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being hailed as the rightful heir of David and the One who would finally drive out the hated Roman Gentile oppressors and restore the nation of Israel back to its former glory, or so the people ...read more

     | 2,453 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more
