    1. Jesus gave believers a promise when He said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not overcome it.

    1. Jesus gave believers a promise when He said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not overcome it." (Matt. 16:18) Christ is actively working to help people plant and grow His church in every nation of the world. The Lord knows that His body will have the greatest opportunity to ...read more

    In the healing of the lame man at the Temple gate, we see a model of how Christians can work with the Spirit to touch and transform lives.

    The Church at Work with the Spirit Acts 3:1-26 A. A Miracle of Healing Some weeks – maybe up to 3 months – after Pentecost, Peter and John go up to the Temple for the 3 PM prayer time, and encounter a man born lame. Apparently his feet and ankles were twisted and deformed and he couldn’t walk ...read more

    Thesis: We need to cry out to God and ask Him to open the flood gates of Heaven and send his rain to us.

    Preparing For War Series

     | 6,651 views

    If Christians are called to go to war against the gates of Hell, what role does "going to church" play in the conflict?

    About 20 years ago, a man received a call from his mother while deployed in Iraq. It was the weekend, and she asked if he had to work on Sundays. He replied “Mom, we have to work every day… it’s a war.” (Jeanice Shelley, Reader’s Digest 2/08 p. 50) Last Sunday we talked about the fact that we are ...read more

    Who Do You Say That I Am?

     | 4,905 views

    Our Lord has a way of cutting right through the fluff and getting straight to what is important. Peter was really set up to answer this question. It is the most important question any of us could ever be asked, as well.

    Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?’’ 14. So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’’ 15. He said to them, "But who do you say ...read more

    The Good Shepherd

    Contributed by Lyndon Marcotte on Jun 16, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,235 views

    What Jesus says is that he’s not here to lead us into constraint...he’s here to lead us out! The door isn’t the gate to a cattle stall or a chute to the slaughter house! This gate leads out into the vast beautiful pasture, a life of freedom… full of joy.

    The Good Shepherd – John 10:1-10 The imagery of Christ the Shepherd and the sheep has made for beautiful pictures to decorate our homes, lovely greeting cards, and beautiful hymns, but the meaning and implication of this symbol is deeply personal and convicting. Far too often when we think ...read more

    In a world that often glorifies self-reliance and independence, it's easy to fall into the trap of relying solely on our own understanding. However, Proverbs 3:5-6 challenges this notion and reminds us that true wisdom comes from aligning ourselves with God's will.

    This first sermon in my transforming truth series addresses the most fundamental of truths - God loves us. If we get that one on straight, then we will be well on our way.

    A. Let me begin by sharing a few simple, practical truths: 1. “A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.” – unknown 2. “A bulldog can whip a skunk, but sometimes it’s not worth it.” - J. Nowell 3. “A closed mouth gathers no feet.” - Sam Horn 4. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a ...read more

    Strait And Narrow Minded

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 16, 2023
     | 1,120 views

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

    Listening To The Right Voice Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Aug 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,101 views

    The only way we will not be fooled or led astray is to know His voice. He’s our Good Shepherd and He calls to us to come through Him into the fold. He’s the gate and the gate offers us protection, peace, freedom and security from those who would attempt to turn us from following the Shepherd.

    John 10:1-10: 1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own ...read more

    All the freedoms we have are from Almighty God.

    Text: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). Freedom! What is freedom? What does freedom mean to you? How did we acquire freedom? Do you appreciate freedom? Is freedom important to you? Did our forefathers always have freedom? How did freedom come to mankind? ...read more

     | 25,410 views

    Peter and John seem to have been led by the Holy Spirit, to perform a miracle on a man who was over forty years old and had been a cripple from his birth.

    Tuesday, January 5, 2016 A Lame Man Healed (Acts 3.1-11) Note: since this is a long sermon, I suggest it be given in two parts; part 1 (vs. 1-5) on Sunday morning, and part 2 (vs. 6-11) on Sunday evening. Acts 3.1-3.11 (KJV) 1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour ...read more

    Grounded In Christ Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020
     | 7,162 views

    Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

    Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more
