    After reading the book of Acts the reader is left to ponder the question: would one say YES to such an impossible, dangerous mission of spreading the Good News to the lost of this world or would one choose to hide one’s light under a bushel (Matthew 5:15)?

    Do We Have Pigeon Religion?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 3, 2022
     | 3,068 views

    The Bible does NOT say, "the Spirit came on Jesus as a pigeon." Doves have 8 character differences from pigeons. Just as the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, so "pigeon religion" is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Let's seek the Dove!

    DO WE HAVE PIGEON RELIGION? John 1:29-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A doctor went out and bought a brand new Ferrari GTO, that can top out at 250 mph. He took it out for a spin and stopped at a red light. 2. An old man on a moped pulled up next to him. He asked, “What kind of car ya got there, ...read more

    What does it mean to be transformed into the image of Christ? This Quinceanera message addresses more than just a coming of age celebration. It focuses on the butterfly-like change that can take place in God's people.

    (I was honored to preach the sermon at the Quinceanera - pronounced “kin-sin-yarra” - of one of our Hispanic members. I wanted to do this right, so I studied a lot about this event means. I discovered that a Quinceanera is a celebration of the 15th birthday (Quinceanera literally means “15th year). ...read more

    We live in a world plagued by all manner of delusions - scams, deceptions, lying, but this is just a small light thing on the great delusion that will be on earth in the Tribulation. Two matters considered are the Indian scammers and climate change activism.

    DELUSION FEASTS OFF LIES LIKE MAGGOTS FEAST IN GARBAGE This is an article on Delusion as I read it right now. I want to revisit this important subject of delusion mainly because it grows worse, and like a vortex, is sucking more and more people into it. The end of the Church age is going to see ...read more

    Can you picture the prophet Elijah driving on Red Bud Road or Hwy. 53? Can you see him in line at McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac and french fries? Rather hard to imagine, isn't it?

    The reality is advent is only distantly related to Christmas. It was celebrated long before Christmas in the church.

    TITLE: THE HOPE THAT TRANSFORMS SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 8:24-25 All eyes in Christendom have turned upon celebrating Christmas.

    In this 2023 series we are looking at the true meaning of Christmas. Today/s message is titled Wishing ands Hoping. The NT gives us a great word: HOPE. We have the blessed Hope: His name is Jesus.

    “Wishing and Hoping” Isaiah 9:6-7a Several years ago, I wrote and published my first book. The entire process took about two and a half years. The Bible was written over a period of 1500 years. And rather than one author, there were approximately 40. With very different backgrounds; sheep ...read more

    She was born free in the land of Israel but reduced to a slave in Syria. Yet no thought of revenge was in her heart. She could have rejoiced in his affliction. But instead, the little maid thought of how Naaman might be healed.

    NAAMAN'S LITTLE MAID "1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper. 2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had ...read more

    God uses the weak to shame the strong; he does this by choosing the young Mary for the important task of bearing his Son.

    INTRODUCTION • Over the next three weeks, we will look at different characters in the Christmas story to see how the birth of Jesus was good news of great joy for all of them, a poor young couple like Joseph and Mary, the marginalized shepherds, or even cosmic beings (angels). • We tend to focus on ...read more

    There are people like those in Malachi’s audience in every generation. They don’t make preparation a priority. These were covenant people who were side-stepping their covenant.
