The Half-Time Speech

Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 20, 2014

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 28, 2014

The Day of Pentecost matters to us: 1. Because it was a new dispensation in God's plan (vs. 1-4). 2. Because it was a great demonstration of God's power (vs. 2-11). 3. Because it was a bold declaration of God's pardon (vs. 11-21).

Witness: Confesses #4 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

our largest tool for sharing the gospel has been thwarted by our willingness to so assimilate into the culture we don’t look like any different or welcome the challenge of criticism or debate for what we believe. We’d prefer to live anonymously.
