     | 5,678 views

    #3 out of 2 Peter. In 1:12-21 Peter urges the believers to "pay attention" to the Word revealed by the Holy Spirit to the apostles and prophets. Believe them!

    WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? "For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well ...read more

    Do You Want The Church To Grow?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,356 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

    Determining, doing, and accepting the uncertainties of our ability to determine God’s will is not as clear or objective as mathematics, but is part of our journey as believers.

     | 2,793 views

    In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

    A Journey Towards Transformation?“The Damascus Road” Acts 9:1-19 Thinking about this whole idea that we’ll be exploring in our Easter message, “God Will Make a Way,” the concept of the various roads that both Jesus and His disciples took up to and following His resurrection came to mind. We’ll ...read more

    The apostle Paul tells Timothy the value of the Word of God and its importance in his spiritual development.

    THE MOST PRECIOUS THING THIS WORLD AFFORDS Children can be embarrassingly frank. I read of a minister who was visiting one of his members. The lady of the house was trying to impress him about how devout she was by pointing out the large Bible on the bookshelf and talking in a very reverential ...read more

    The final words of a person are important. The same is true of the Apostle Paul to the Romans church (and to us).

    The theme of Acts is not just the works of the apostles but that nothing stops God from spreading His word.

    And the Gospel goes on. Acts 8:1-24 Very anticlimactically written, from this point on there is a shift from Peter and John to a man named Saul. Saul is introduced as being present when Stephen was stoned and that he gave his approval. Dr. Luke gives us insight into Saul and then will compare it ...read more
