The events in this passage happened just days before He was crucified and had risen from the dead. ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 31, 2020
     | 3,619 views

    In this last message for this "Go thy way" series, Felix a Roman governor, talked with Paul about the Christian faith several times. He listened but told Paul "go thy way and I'll talk to you about this when I have the time". Sadly, he never found the time.

    Background: Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem, then taken to the Roman barracks (castle, KJV: Acts 21:34, 37, e.g.). Later Paul was sent to the seat of Roman government in Caesarea. He had been tried and accused of charges, serious at the time, but was declared neither guilty nor innocent. Paul ...read more

    Heaven Came Down/ Christmas Eve Service Series

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 15, 2019
     | 3,933 views

    Can we stop for a moment to imagine the excitement of heaven as Jesus comes to begin His redemption of mankind on earth. That God would send His Son Jesus is mind blowing.

    Heaven came down Yesterday, we read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke 2 as part of the service. I spoke of God’s love for “all people”. That God would send His Son Jesus to redeem mankind. (God’s love blows my mind) We saw God’s love was unconditionally for all and God’s love does not go by ...read more

     | 3,707 views

    Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

    We strive to live out all that Jesus taught us about being His disciples. Our legacy involves living out what we believe in our thanksgiving, holiness and harmony.

     | 2,636 views

    Paul had left Berea and with the help of friends made it to Athens, one of Greece's largest cities. He stood alone in that city, sharing the gospel with as many as he could: even some of the elite!

     | 3,684 views

    When they crucified Jesus, His disciples thought it was the end. It was only the beginning. Jesus as we know was resurrected from the dead.

What that means is this, Jesus was crucified and then resurrected from the dead three days later. For those who lack hope and do not believe in the ...read more

    The Transformed Life In Christ

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Nov 8, 2022
     | 2,071 views

    Jesus answered the two toughest questions on identity. He asked Peter "who do people say I am?" and "who do you say I am?" The answer he gave came from a transformed life.

    The Transformed life in Christ Romans 12:1-2 Intro- Good morning to our online people, we are glad that you have joined us. I was on vacation last week and watched people at the airport while I raced around, I am convinced that many struggle with their identity. Who they are inside and out and ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,338 views

    Some in that crowd were having quarrels over who baptized them as if those that baptized them had differing ranks. They were choosing sides contrary to the Gospel which calls us to be united to be united through Christ (I Corinthians 1:12 -13).

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

    Present And Prevent: In View Of The Lord’s Mercies

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,079 views

    Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

    Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

    Freed For Joyful Obedience (2003)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,693 views

    Until we are justified in our actions, we are separated by sin away from God. That separation causes us to feel guilty and it denies us the feeling of joy that comes from being reconciled to God in and through Jesus Christ!

    FREED FOR JOYFUL OBEDIENCE Text: Hebrews 9:11-14 Charles Colson mentioned that whenever questioned by curious people in the media about which of his Watergate perfidies [sins] (deliberate acts of betrayal of trust) made him feel the most remorseful, he replies honestly and invariably ...read more

    The Life Line (2018, Fifth Sunday Of Easter)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 28, 2021
     | 2,727 views

    Sin is perhaps the biggest of the obstacles because it is connected with all of the other obstacles in our lives that hinder God’s will. Sin has many forms and formats that make deadwood in our lives, but sin has one purpose and that is our destruction.

    THE LIFE LINE Text: John 15:1- 8 Just recently my daughter Lilly looked at the bushes of the parsonage that had been trimmed back. She expressed her concern that the bushes might not grow back. I assured her that that the pruning that had taken place was good for the bushes because ...read more
