    Reach

    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,454 views

    Sermon is to encourage people to reach always in their lives for two things. Reach Up to God and Reach Out to people.

    Reach!—meaning “to stretch.” It implies an inconvenience. It involves movement. You can’t lean back, relax, get comfortable—and then reach, without giving up some of the comfort (at least for a moment). Reaching involves a little extra effort to get to something you want. How much extra energy you ...read more

     | 3,753 views

    We live in a time where the proclamation of the Word of God is on a decline in our pulpits. As a Church we need to present and stand on the Word of God and proclaim it boldly to a lost and dark world.

    THE PROCLAMATION OF THE CHURCH ACTS 2:1-24 THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WE FOCUS ON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE.

    Why Hope? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,502 views

    Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”

    Sometimes our hope is invisible. The last words of dying people have always fascinated me. They are so revealing of a person's heart and soul. John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln said only two words at his death: “Useless. Useless.” These are words of hopelessness. Fox News ...read more

    God's word is all we need to keep us from doubting.

    Text: “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it” (John 20:25). “Unless I see” are words that indicate doubt. If we doubt, we do not believe or we are skeptical. If we doubt, we ...read more

    Our words, actions and lives are to glorify God. In other words, we are to reflect Christ for others to see. The problem is trying to reflect the light of Christ.
