    Why was it said that the Acts church "turned the world upside down?" How can we have that said about us?

    Turning the World Upside Down Acts 17:1-10 It’s safe to assume that almost everybody here has heard or read about the great revivals of old. We constantly hear preachers talk about old time revivals. But notice what I said, we have heard about, we have read about, and we talk about. We have ...read more

    I grew up thinking that Jesus must be emabarassed with this thing called church. The hypocrisy and fakiness led me to want to see something different. This sermon is my personal understanding of what i wanted the church to be.

    Loving the Church powerpoint available at coolguybri@verizon.net There is a word that brings a lot of emotion when used.

    Worship is a necessary practice in growing deeper in Christ. Our worship needs to be God centered, an offering unto him.

    Do you understand that from a worldly perspective, what we are doing here on Sunday morning is absolutely ridiculous? I was recently asked, why don’t more people come to worship? Why would they? To most people worship gathering is a waste of time. Why would I go to church when I could sleep in ...read more

    Second in a three part series exploring the need for the church to rise up, and go into the city. This message looks at the implications of operating with "strength and courage."

    (This sermon launched with the utilization of Google Earth to provide screen shots of the community we are located in. Could be personalized to each church’s community.) Kenneth Scott Latourette writes that from A.D. 500 to 1500 the church did not grow. It merely exchanged real estate. We gave ...read more

    This is an examination of how the early Church used the monetary funds contributed by its members. The practice of the early Church, under the directions of the Apostles, gives us a pattern to follow today.

    Proper Use of the Church Treasury It is proper and perfectly Scriptural for Christians in a community to put money in a common fund. There has never been a great deal of disagreement among brethren over this matter. Christians generally agree that it is right to contribute to a general fund to ...read more

They were losing miserably and the opposing team was bigger, stronger, and more intimidating than they were. One of their players fumbled the ball, ...read more
