    Breaking Down Barriers Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 24, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,300 views

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    Stephen Series

    If you take away anything from Stephen’s message today, it should be this: Jesus is all you need. Say it with me: “Jesus is all I need.” Say it again: “Jesus is all I need!”

    If you saw Stephen on the streets of Jerusalem or in the market, he probably wouldn’t seem very different from you or me. A good man … a good neighbor … a good friend … a hard worker … always ready to help. Maybe a good husband … we don’t know if he was married or not. Lately he had been ...read more

    Idolatry And The Plague

     | 6,015 views

    One of the things 2020 will always be remembered for is the plague, or Covid-19. This message shows a possible cause of the plague, one known as idolatry; along with the divine remedy. This sermon was written in October 2020.

    I think one of the things 2020 will always be remembered for is the plague; known as Covid-19 and commonly called the Corona Virus. I’ve been searching the Scripture for causes of the plague, trying to see if the same catalyst has manifested itself in America today. Last week we looked at “The ...read more

    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,379 views

    Hell, in many religious traditions, refers to the domicile, usually beneath the earth, of the unredeemed deceased or the spirits of the damned. From the underworld come dreams, ghosts, and demons, and in its most terrible areas malefactors (reprobates)

    Tom Lowe 2/3/2012 The Concept of Hell! There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament. The Old Testament talks about Sheol, which is a watery underworld where everyone went, whether they were Jew or Gentile, good or bad. In its archaic sense, the term hell refers to the underworld, a deep pit or ...read more

    As we look at our Gregorian calendars there are three hundred and sixty five days on our calendars. Most of the days are just routine days that we do the same thing day after day.

    But there are some days that are special, and we look forward to them. Let me mention four days on our calendar that I personally consider special. • Mother’s Day • Father’s Day • Christmas • Easter Christmas and Easter are the only two religious holiday’s days we have on our calendars.

    based on 25 ratings
     | 11,451 views

    Prayer is one of the seven marks of discipleship our elders have identified for our church. But in our prayer life, we often struggle over the issue of unanswered prayer.

    I read a story once about a woman who was dying in a hospital bed. Her two daughters were by her side. All day one of the daughters had been praying vigorously and passionately. But when the family’s pastor came to the hospital room, one of the daughters whispered to him, "I just can’t seem to get ...read more
