    Pentecost, as it is called in the Greek language for the Jewish Feast of Weeks, as celebrated 50 days after the resurrection gave birth to the church.

    When you stop to think about it…what brought us here today. Now I don’t mean by plane, train, or automobile, but what things in our lives caused us to be gathered today, and each Sunday before and after today? We gather here not by chance, but by divine appointment. We are not here merely to fill a ...read more

    This sermon looks at the prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesian church and then uses his prayer as a basis for what we need to pray for in our church: Strength in the inner being, Dwelling of Christ in our hearts, and Comprehending God’s Love.

    Ephesians 3:14-21 "A Church That Is Prayed For" Preached on July 27, 2003 at Clara/Winchester UMC Before the term “mega church” was ever conceived, Charles H. Spurgeon pioneered one right in the heart of London, England. When he was just twenty years of age, the New Park Street ...read more

    Some today proclaim that the church is an archaic thing of the past and that the church Jesus envisioned isn’t anything like church as we know it today. So let’s go back and examine what church is really supposed to be. And it’s all summed up on one word.

    Is the church a thing of the past? So much has been written lately about the demise of the church. Our post modern age seems finished with something so antiquated and old fashioned as the church. In fact, Robert H. Schuller, successor to the Crystal Cathedral said” I think we are entering an era in ...read more

    Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. Today I have another that would be just as bothersome: this is for your own good. God will do things we won't like but will be for our own good.

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.

    As I believe the Lord is leading, it is imperative for us to consider exactly what type of church Jesus desires to have. While opinions and ideas could, and probably would run rampant concerning that topic, there is one place the answer may be clearly found. That is in God’s Word. While many ...read more

    Divine opportunities pass us by when we are not watchful, when we are not alert. Wrong decisions are taken when we are not watchful, when we are not discerning. The church strays from her mission and God ordained purpose when we are not watchful.

    Introduction During Jesus’ last days on earth something worthy of attention happened at the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36 tells us that Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane. Then He told them to sit down at a particular spot while He goes to pray. Jesus then ...read more
