     | 1,992 views

    Peter's prejudicial sentiments lingering like a foul odor in his mind collided with God's grace. Only a fresh breath of God's grace, could clear the air, and open up the door to a world of Gentiles who were waiting to follow Christ.

    Sermon - God’s Grace On a Collision Course Scripture: Acts 10:1-23 “In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household.

    Our families may be the furthest thing from perfect, but God ordained the family in the beginning in the garden of Eden. Since then, Satan has been attacking the family. With God at the center, we need to protect, cherish, and love our families with which God has blessed us.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Our Imperfect Family - Pixel Preacher Raise your hand today if your family is perfect! Anyone? Hopefully you’re not like the family in this story.

     | 2,776 views

    We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

    “I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,256 views

    It was essential for Peter to admit (And us), when prejudice is in operation. Our prejudices and biases always collide with God's grace. God has no favorites; we are all equal in his sight. He welcomes whosoever!

    Sermon Peter’s Struggle: Overcoming The Wall of Prejudice Scripture Reading: Acts 10: 1-23 “1 In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household.

    Unless you happen to be like the man who said: "I am not prejudiced, I hate everyone!" All of us if we are honest are prejudiced. When prejudice is in operation, it will always collide with God's grace.

    Die Entschlafenen

     | 129 views

    Death is sacred sleep in Christ; counterfeit awakenings deceive, but the true resurrection will come when Jesus calls every sleeper by name.

    There are certain moments in life that are so quiet, so still, so unexpectedly tender that they seem to slow the entire world. Not dramatic moments. Not tragic ones. Just the moments when evening settles over the house and everything finally stops moving. When the phone stops buzzing. When the ...read more

    Christians must stay alert and vigilant. This exposition of Ephesians 6:10-18 calls believers to guard against the strategies of Satan and be prepared for the next good work God wants to do through them.

Second Timothy 2:21 talks about being “prepared for every good work.”i Sometimes God opens a door for a person, but the person is not prepared to go though that open door. He is therefore not able to make ...read more
