    When the Apostles felt overwhelmed they created an office....DEACONS, and the church GREW!

    Acts 6:1 “And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.” We see, here, the church growing to a large number. As long as the church was small and they ...read more

    The Sacredness Of Submission (Sermon On Christian Growth)

     | 1,893 views

    Today I will be preaching about Submission. This is a sermon dealing with Christian growth. The word “submit” in the Bible means “to submit to one’s control”, “to obey.”

    There were three guys talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remained quiet. • After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says, "Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?" • The third fellow says ...read more

    I. The power to be (vv 14-15) A. Paul acknowledges the power and sovereignty of God 1. He kneels – not a posture of prayer but of obedience before kings 2. God names all families in heaven and earth a. Naming is a sign of power b. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were a group of teens who had been ...read more

    How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2025
     | 741 views

    How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

    One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body? Many of us who fashion ourselves as born-again Bible-believing Christians might respond something like this: ...read more

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Apr 29, 2018
     | 5,023 views

    He will never selfishly devour resources, but rather understands that resources flow from Christ through him. Therefore, he perceives himself to be a conduit of resources and does everything he can to remain connected to these resources through obedience.

    Well as promised, we’re just navigating our way through the 9 Attributes of a Man of God. Today we are on the topic of deliberately producing growth in our life. Attribute number 7. And as agreed, I promised that I was going to deliver a verse to you every time on one thing that Jesus did, and one ...read more

    A short homily given at a mid week communion service, encouraging us to fix our eyes on Jesus and not upon leaders, forms of worship or types of evangelism. It’s all about Jesus!

    1 Corinthians 3: 1-9 St. Paul had some words of rebuke for the Christians at Corinth; and when I hear St. Paul rebuking a church I always have to ask myself some questions. The questions are: How does this apply to me? How does this apply to my local church? How does this apply to the national ...read more

    I Believe Series

    "I believe" are perhaps the hardest words of the Apostle’s Creed to state. Faith is under attack, but it is absolutely essential.

    During World War II allied armies marched into Germany on their way to Berlin. Retreating German soldiers switched road signs and destroyed landmarks in an effort to confuse their enemy. And, to an extent, it worked, for many a G.I. followed a false marker only to end up in the wrong place. That ...read more

    The power of the world and the exercise of force could not defeat Jesus, the Son of God. He is raised by the power of God's love--a love that transforms both the followers of Jesus and the world.

    Luke 24:1-12 “The Power of Love” INTRODUCTION The greatest story of love is the story of Jesus the Christ. His incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection profoundly demonstrate God’s love for all humankind. This love is transformational—life altering. Once we are ...read more

    Worship has the power to change you like no other activity you are involved in. Worship has the power to bless you.

    Last week we focused on the first commandment: “You Shall Have No Other gods Before Me.” Last week, we focused on the “what” of worship: You Shall Worship Only God Himself. This week, we focus on the “how” of worship: You Shall Worship God the Right Way. The first commandment implicitly excludes ...read more

    The overall shape of the Bible’s story is like a U in which events begin in perfection, fall into corruption, and painfully wind their way back to the final defeat of evil and the triumph of good. The crucial turning point is the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    God, through the Apostle Peter, gives us several images of what it means to be a Christian rightly connected to Christ and to each other. Holding onto these images can help us weather the storms of life.
