    The Birth Of A Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,139 views

    I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

    We begin a new series today. Our church celebrates its 125th year anniversary. We have some things planned for later this year. We also begin a new book: 1 Corinthians. Many of you may think it odd to begin journey of a book of the Bible and then focus on Acts. Yet, Luke tells us the beginnings of ...read more

    What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

    While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

    When you think of the disciples who do you think of first? Some would say Peter. Others might some of the names of the other disciples. How many would say Andrew? Did Andrew live in the shadow of his brother Peter?

    This sermon helps us realize that God’s way is not always the way we think it should be.

    Turn with me to II Kings 5. This is a familiar story to many. It is one of those stories I remember from Sunday school when I was a kid.
