    Many people practice counterfeiting without actually realizing what they are doing. A counterfeiter tries to make an imitation of something genuine to deceive, defraud or pretend something to be what it is not in reality. Ananias’s lie to the Holy Spirit

    Why are so many people unable to obtain intimacy with God the way Paul did? Intimacy with God means that one has such a tight relationship that your thoughts are closely related with His all of His attributes

    Have you ever struggled to go out of your way to help people who are considered to be suspicious fellows? Imagine the hesitancy of Ananias when the Lord told him to render assistance to the murdering Saul of Tarsus.

    Incredible numbers of people are falling, and we have contributed by pushing them to the edge and failing to listen. But at the Lord’s Table we see the embracing arms of Christ and are empowered to lift the fallen and give them life.

    Those of you who were in my Vacation Bible School class know what happened – the class was supposed to run from 7:15 until 9:00 each night. At 8:57, what did I say? Something like: I know you have to go, but there are just a couple more points I want to make. And so, at a few minutes after 9, ...read more

     | 3,651 views

    With times and opinions changing as fast as they are today, i feel this would be a good time to remind ourselves what the biblical discription of a christian is. We will do this by examining the lifestyle and beliefs of the people first called Christians

    What is a Christian? Acts 11:19-26 (NIV) 19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak ...read more

     | 4,058 views

    Christians are called to be witnesses to the ends of the earth and to make disciples of all nations. No person or group of people is excluded from God’s love and God’s desire to have them participate in God’s kingdom.

    Acts 10:1-23 “A Community for Everyone” INTRODUCTION We conclude our examination of the early Church and the early Christians this Sunday. Our brief study has been both exciting and empowering. We have discovered what the mission and purpose of the church is. We have learned how to maintain ...read more

    Most Christians believe in Jesus but are not possessed by Jesus and therein lies the reason for the lack of people being Christian missionaries in the world. Missionaries are possessed by the presence of Jesus make themselves available for God’s purposes.

    Available Acts 8:26-40 The Psalmist prays, “Lord, teach me to number my days that I may gain a heart of wisdom.” Jesus had the key to numbering our days when he said just keep seeking the kingdom of God. Throughout this series, we’ve learned that missionaries are spirit filled ...read more

    When facing a challenge, learn from God’s Word, see it as an opportunity to grow, be clear about who God called you to be, pick the right people to help, and then release them to solve the problem.

    How many of you have ever had a problem? Let’s just stop there. How many of you have ever had a problem? Okay. All right, good. We’re all in. We’re all in.

    The Gambler

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 14, 2016
     | 7,144 views

    The Powerball Lottery reminds us of 2 types of people; one group who gamble their souls that they can ignore God, and the other who gamble that God is real and will do what He said. Which are you?

    THE GAMBLER INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. J.E. Bedenbaugh said, “My grandmother, a staunch Southern Baptist, had marched me off to Sunday school and church regularly. 2. So when I switched to the Episcopal church after marriage, she challenged me: "What’s wrong with the Baptist Church, ...read more

    Be Radical For Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void!

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 12, 2015
     | 4,182 views

    Too many radical people are rising up and attacking Christians! This is in part due to radical ideals sewn in the 1970s. Communism also plays a role. If we are not radical for Jesus then other radicals will take over.

    Be Radical for Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void! by Kelly Durant Acts 2:44-45 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 2. The disciples of Jesus were ...read more

    The New Wine Of The Holy Spirit

     | 5,985 views

    The Jewish people knew God the Father from the Old Testament. Through their journey of faith they knew that God the Father was a Spirit and that God the Father was the One who provided them with a deliverer who would also be a Messiah.

    The New Wine of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-21 Today is Pentecost Sunday and that means that it is Holy Spirit day. Today is really the third most important day on our Christian calendars.

     | 74,371 views

    Have you ever wondered why other people seem to float through life on a flowery bed of ease, and it seems like your life is one battle after another, and one trial on top of another?

    I didn’t come to this house just to preach, I came to prophesy: I hear the Lord saying that many of you have been going through some deep dark trials, some of you are in the fire right now, and the truth is, it’s not just normal everyday trials. Some of you have been experiencing crazy ...read more

    Felix Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,768 views

    Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

    Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more
