     | 7,912 views

    God told Peter in Acts 10 - "What God has made clean you must not call common." What would that have meant to the Ephesians, and what can it mean to us?

    In Acts 10, we’re told the story of the first Gentiles who became Christians. God sent Peter to do preach to them and baptize them… but because Peter wouldn’t have done that on his own. God gave Him this instruction: “What God has made clean, do not call common." Acts 10:15 About 100 years ...read more

    What does the Bible calls us to be and do as Christians men. What biblical passages do we look at for Biblical manhood? What does it mean to be masculine according to the Bible? How does this apply to each one of us?

    Jesus, Peter and Peter’s mother-in-law all showed what it means to be a friend. But we need to do the same. Don’t leave Jesus in church, take Him with you everywhere you go.

Is it someone you can tell all of your personal problems to and who helps you through a difficult time? We probably all have ...read more

    We all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, enlarging our understanding of the church and the faith. And then maybe we can overcome Babel by speaking one in Christ on this Pentecost Sunday.

    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 600 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    - A couple opening points for the sermon series as a whole. - First, the Lord’s Prayer is a good antidote to our limited prayer life. - Many of us have prayer lives that are largely limited to asking for stuff, whether it’s for ourselves or for others. Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more
