    Three characteristics of the first Christian congregation

    I want to begin by saying what a privilege I consider it, to be invited into this pulpit on the occasion of your anniversary. Karen and I have just been attending over the last five weeks and it are clear to both of us that God is doing great things in and through this church. Thirty-three years! ...read more

    A Great Church Is A Joyously Worshiping Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Apr 6, 2016
     | 4,920 views

    Jesus did die, but He didn’t stay dead! So a church service should not be like a funeral. Someone suggested that it is a memorial service, not for the dead, but by the dead! Perhaps that explains it.

    A Tour through Acts ~ part 8 A Great Church is a Joyously Worshiping Church Acts 2:46-47a Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. (+ NIV) ...read more

    Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,163 views

    A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

    While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

    The Landmine Of Anger Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 27, 2010
     | 4,956 views

    This series is based on Charles Stanley’s book "Landmines". The two messages on SC are two landmines which Dr. Stanley did not include. I highly recommend readding his book.

    Landmine of Anger Ephesians 4:25-31 * Landmines! Who among us would knowingly walk into a field of landmines? Without the proper training, probably no one would. When we see or hear the word landmine, we know that to activate one is to cause untold havoc. * The landmine tonight is the landmine ...read more

    From Genesis 1:1... God created it all, sustains it all... and guides us by His Word.

    According to the news the world was supposed to end with the Mayan Calendar. So what happened? The world didn’t come to an end did it? Did you believe what the world was telling you? So, did you know what the Bible said about the same thing? Matthew Chapter 24 and look at verse 36 in ...read more

    “the Great Pretender” Series

     | 13,241 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “The Great Pretender” Acts 8:9-25 In the first eight verses of chapter 8 we saw revival come to Samaria as Philip the Evangelist preached the good news of Jesus Christ. Miracles were performed, souls saved. Just a few verses in and we see that wherever God sends genuine revival, Satan ...read more

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 10, 2021
     | 4,849 views

    This is an overview of the Book of Malachi, who is the last of the Minor Prophets. It prophesies the coming of both John the Baptist and Jesus.

    Coming Suddenly into His Temple: An Exposition of the Book of Malachi Introduction In many Protestant traditions, the Book of Malachi is the last Book of the Old Testament. The next book is the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. It is thought that Malachi was the last prophet and writer of ...read more

    One of the most difficult sermons a pastor has to preach is a “Mother’s Day” sermon.

    Why? For the same reason you spend a great deal of time searching through the Hallmark Cards trying to find the perfect card that will begin to convey how deeply you feel about your mother. If that is a strain on us consider the strain that puts on us preachers trying to preach a message ...read more

    God's Great Compassion

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 19, 2021
     | 2,495 views

    Jesus calls us to be merciful as God is merciful, and in the way God acted towards the people of Nineveh, he set the bar very high. The Assyrians were among the cruellest people in history.

    INTRODUCTION Jonah is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s just 48 verses long. That’s shorter than a lot of chapters in the New Testament. Because it’s such a short book, when Bible translators begin work translating the Bible into other languages they’ll often start with Jonah. They ...read more

    Do any of you dads here feel like you should have a heart to heart talk with your sons or daughters? (Raise your hands). I wonder how many of us dads here today feel very confident in this area.

    Ananias was not a famous, well-known believer. He is not mentioned in Scripture outside of this event. Yet, Ananias was given such great privilege from the Lord. Why?

    Ananias – Given Great Privilege Acts 9:10-18, 22:12-16 Introduction: 1. When considering the book of Acts, if I were to ask you to fill in the blank, and I said, “Ananias and _____________.” What would you say? Would you say, “Sapphira?” 2. Did you know that there is ...read more
