Walking In Love Series

Contributed by Michael Taber on Feb 9, 2021

A series of messages that suggest that walking with the Lord daily is as easy as Peter's walking on the water. If we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus we will be able to carry out the commands to walk found in Ephesians 4-6.

Because I believe that this mini-series is one that our entire church needs to grapple with and I am praying that this concept will grip your heart. That when God calls you and I to walk in love, to walk in ...read more

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 10, 2022

All 120 were filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Peter testified and exhorted after this initial infilling, and 3,000 more souls were added to the church. The church experienced the infilling of the Holy Spirit and its power!

Six Spiritual Absolutes Found In— Acts 2:40-47NKJV I love the story about the Lutheran pastor who always started each service off with the phrase, “The Lord be with you.” The people then responded, “And also with you.” However, one Sunday the sound system wasn't working very well.

Layers Of An Onion

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021

I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more
