Effective Witnessing To Christ

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 22, 2017

The reason that the Early Church was able to preach the Gospel is because the Holy Spirit fell on them at Pentecost.

A Great Cloud Of Witnesses

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

The apostle Paul wrote these words, encouraging believers in Jesus to run the race. Run the race of what? Of the faith.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him ...read more

Witnessing To Postmodern People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more
