    When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He did not say, “If you feel like it, and if it fits your schedule, go and make disciples.” No — He gave His followers an unshakable, urgent, eternal command.

    Go! and follow The Great Commission: Not the Great Suggestion Introduction: There are two types of instructions in life: suggestions and commands. A suggestion says: “If you get the chance, maybe do this.” A command says: “Do this now. It is your responsibility.” If the fire alarm rings in this ...read more

    Saints can be great people like Mother Teresa or Francis of Assisi … but saints can be ordinary people. People like you and me. People who have given their hearts to Jesus. People that the light of God … the light of the Holy Spirit … shines through.

    One day a man and his five-year-old son were walking through a beautiful church. The church was filled with bright light from its many colorful stained-glass windows. As the boy looked at the windows, he asked: “Who are all the people in the windows, Daddy?” “They are saints,” his father ...read more

    The Christian finds joy in being freed from guilt, anticipating an eternal reward, having fellowship with God, and being part of God’s work.

    Great Joy In the City Acts 8:5-8 INTRO.: You can see almost anything in the city. You can see poverty and plenty, sorrow and happiness, but cities are seldom known as places of great joy.

    You will be unable to recognize the signs of the times or hear the Spirit’s voice without and intimate relationship with Jesus and His Word. I believe the Spirit is saying to us today “be ready – watch - get ready!”

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more
