    The power of the Holy Spirit empowers us to fulfill the Great Commission.

    AMAZED AND CONFUSSED Text: Acts 2:5-13 Introduction 1. Illustration: When you strip it of everything else, Pentecost stands for power and life. That's what came into the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost. – David Wilkerson 2. Last week we talked about how the power ...read more

    Keep Your Lamps Burning Series

    This message looks at the believer’s responsibility to remain faithful in sharing the light of Jesus and proclaiming the gospel. It also views the horrible fate that awaits those who do not have the light of Christ abiding within them.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Keep Your Lamps Burning,” and it’s taken from what is called, “The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins.” Back when I was in high school, our choir once sang an old Negro spiritual that went like this: “Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, for the time is ...read more

    The Word Is Not Void Series

    When we share our faith, we don’t know ahead of time whether or not the soil is fertile; but if we are faithful at broadcasting the seed of God’s Word, then if it happens to land in fertile soil, it will take root and begin growing.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “The Word Is Not Void,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Growing Seed.” So, what message does this parable speak to believers? It appears to address the fear of failure in evangelism. Allow me to share from the church statistical ...read more

    Justification By Faith: Two Examples Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Mar 27, 2022
     | 3,245 views

    Up to this point in Romans, Paul has been pretty academic and intellectual. But now, he puts skin on the truth that justification is by faith alone.

    One of my favorite movies is Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can. It’s the true story of a lifelong con man named Frank Abegnale who, over the course of his career posed as an airline pilot, a medical doctor, a lawyer, and a college professor, all the while passing millions of dollars in ...read more

    The story of Zacchaeus' meeting the Lord is one that we all love to hear.

    It has many intriguing things about it. For example, when Jesus was going through Jericho and He met Zacchaeus there, what kind of man did He meet? 1. Zacchaeus was wealthy. We read in verse 2, "And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #10

     | 1,866 views

    One of the good things about the Gospel of Mark is the way that he gives us a continuous flow of information in the life of Christ. For example:

    • In Mark 1:21, we read, “And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.” • After he got through in the synagogue, he left Capernaum to go to Peter’s house and He healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many more. • But as we come to chapter ...read more

    When Mary used that pint of expensive perfume on Jesus, she was expressing how thankful she was of what Jesus had done for her. Today, we will talk about gratitude and grace.

    John 12:1-8  Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.  (2)  There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.  (3)  Mary took a pound of costly perfume made ...read more

    Our faith is in the testimony of God, the work of the Spirit of God and the power of God. Our faith lies in the message and not the messenger, in the work of His Spirit and power and not in human wisdom.

    1 Cor 2:1-5 1And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4and my speech and ...read more

    Relying On The Work Of The Spirit

    When we bear witness to the saving power of Christ, we must rely on the Spirit to empower our efforts.

    Jesus had told them to wait—His first disciples, I mean. He had given them important work to do—the most important work of all, actually—but He had told them not to attempt it just yet. No. They were to wait. “Don’t give,” He said, “until you have received. Nothing can be done by you until ...read more

    Today we are going to examine the arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial. If you have been in church for at least a year, you’ve heard this message, so, my challenge to you is this: Ask God, “What is that I need to learn as we enter this Holy week?”

    Jesus’ Sacrifice for our Redemption (Luke, Part 12) Luke 22:39-23:56 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the Lord’s Supper and its importance for today -- What Jesus does is give them a covenant they can stand firm on -- If they serve, they will earn a place in eternity by His side ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Aggressive Guest) # 21

     | 1,703 views

    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

    It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Fig Tree) # 16

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,290 views

    The Lord taught many parables. But to fully understand these parables as we study them, we need to examine what motivated Him to teach that particular parable.

    In order to do this, you generally have to read the verses that precede the parable He spoke. For example, following Jesus' comments about the widow giving her two small coins in the temple, He teaches about: • The destruction of the temple • The coming of the end of the age Look at Luke 21: ...read more

    There were three powerful miracles that took place as Jesus was hanging on the cross. These were supernatural events, witnessed by everyone around and they had eternal significance. 1. Darkness. 2. The torn veil 3. Earthquake and resurrection.

    One day the reformer Martin Luther was feeling rather down. He had problems at his workplace. He felt the heavy pressure that came with being a professor, pastor, and father. And he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones. As he moved around the house lamenting for all that was happening, his ...read more
