Sermons on Restrained Spending:

Support From A King Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2022

Those who spend their efforts to destroy God’s work are fighting for a lost cause. God will Triumph. A little faith overcame opposition. Through faith the Israelites overcame apathy. There is so much we can do as Christians with the Holy Spirit through faith.

The noted 18th century French Philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) was a renowned Atheist. He criticized the Bible and he claimed that “One hundred years from my day, there will not be a Bible in the earth except one that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity seeker.” A few decades after ...read more

Contributed by Anthony Smith on Nov 24, 2004

Who Am I?

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Feb 25, 2007

We spend so much of our lives unsure of the answer to this question. If I don’t know who I am, then what I stand for and what I believe in are easily swayed by circumstances. Knowing who I am is critical to getting through life.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Who am I? … We spend so much of our lives unsure of the answer to this simple question. We look at ...read more

Prepare To Meet Your Maker Series

Contributed by Jake Kircher on Mar 7, 2006

As we left the disciples last week, they had spent their last moments with Jesus before he ascended to Heaven.

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 11, 2018

The Holy Spirit isn't just an "add on" to our lives, He is a necessity. He transforms believers to "Christians" - little anointed ones! Just as we spend time occupied in relationships with others, work, or tasks, we need even more to be "occupied" by Him.

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them ...read more

The disciples were going through a time because Jesus the one they were able to hang out with, the one whom they got to spend a lot of time with, and the one they even saw Him do many miracles was now crucified, but they had a promise to receive Power.
