    Our union with Christ in Ephesians 2:5-7 shows us what God has done and why he has done it.

    ARISE! GET UP! COME FORTH! John 5:1-9; John 5:21-30 The miracle [literally “sign” (John 4:54)] of the healing of the boy at Capernaum is immediately followed in John’s account with another healing, this time at an unspecified feast in Jerusalem (John 5:1-9). THE NEED (John 5:1-5). A man who ...read more

    How do we bridge the gap from Ascension to Pentecost? The answer is: we wait. We wait with purpose—waiting in prayer and expectation, just as the early disciples did.

    Go! And Wait with Purpose: Bridging Ascension and Pentecost – Waiting in Prayer and Expectation Introduction Today, we stand in the gap between two monumental events in the life of Jesus and His Church. The Ascension of our Lord, the moment when Jesus physically ascended into heaven, leaving His ...read more

    Understanding the meaning and significance of Christ's ascension into heaven leads us to praise him for his grace that has saved us and for his promises that sustain us.

    They had ten days to think about it. As the disciples waited for Jesus to keep his promise to send the Holy Spirit to them, they had ten days to reflect on the fact that he had ascended into heaven. What things do you think came to their minds in the days after that amazing event? Perhaps they ...read more

    Jesus shone the light on the need to repent. The same light allows us to take in the Scriptures and feast on the Word. In return, we are to preach repentance and remission of sins in Jesus’ name to all nations.

    This past Sunday I preached and led worship at the United Church in Bridgewater. During the children’s talk I mentioned that Jesus told his disciples that he would be returning to the Father, but that they would receive the Holy Spirit. I compared the Holy Spirit to the batteries in a ...read more

    The significance of His resurrection is impossible to exaggerate. It is the fundamental proof of His Messiahship and of the truth of Christianity. A classic sermon by A. B. Simpson.

    "To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3). Our Lord’s earthly life may be divided into three sections: before His passion, during His passion, and the ...read more

    God has a timetable of redemption for His creation - God’s Calendar - covering the Birth of Jesus, His Cross, Resurrection, Ascension, the Day of Pentecost and the Second Coming of Jesus.

    GOD’S CALENDAR I think every home will have at least one calendar telling the family of coming events, marking the next birthday or when the school term ends and the holidays begin!

    The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

    We gain a lot by studying the book of Acts. We learn about how the church grew in its infancy stage. Now over twenty percent of the world’s population claim to be true disciples of Jesus. But we are starting here with one hundred and twenty loyal believers huddled together in one room. It helps us ...read more
