    Acts 4 presents Peter as a confident, powerful preacher of Christ... but not two months earlier he had been a cowering coward. What made the difference?

    OPEN: In the 70’s there was runaway hit movie starring Sylvester Stallone, entitled "Rocky." Many people, including myself were unaware that the movie was based on a real life boxer named Chuck Werner - otherwise known as the Bayonne Bleeder (because he bled so easily and freely throughout his ...read more

    Discover what difference God’s unchanging nature, His goodness and His nearness makes in our lives

    This morning, we conclude our study of what is God like? We are not saying that we will have a full understanding of what God is like, but we at least have a better understanding of what the Bible, God’s own revelation, says about what He is like. Someone tells about a dyslexic insomniac ...read more

    God Will Provide

    Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 30, 2003
    based on 280 ratings
     | 108,692 views

    Go ahead and trust him with the needs of your life - I didn’t say wants, the things that we think we need - but what do we really need. God will provide the right thing, at just the right place, at just the right time.

    In view of life’s difficult circumstances many of us must wonder from time to time whether or not God really cares for us or not. All of us have had perplexing situations that we have had to deal with. All of us have had needs which we have earnestly prayed over. I want you to know this morning ...read more

    based on 50 ratings
     | 6,680 views

    Our work is different when we are supervised than when we are not, but our character and commitment are measured thereby. We can be Matthias, who accepted an assignment he did not seek, with joy; or Joseph Justus, who failed to get that same assignment,

    When you can see your supervisor, you work. When you cannot see him, your work style is likely to slow down. The difference between those two things is the measure of your character and your commitment. When you can see your supervisor, you work diligently. You work hard; you get the ...read more

    What should you do when war strikes? Retaliate? Protest? Or could this be an opportunity to strengthen faith in God and minister to those in need?

    The news came shortly after we had arrived in Tulsa for the workshop. After a short time, we were able to put it out of our mind. We were with thousands of Christians from all over the world with some of the best preachers of today. We had a marvelous time singing together, being uplifted by ...read more

    How Radical Should You Get?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 10, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,069 views

    When we first come to Christ we are tempted to make radical changes to our lives in order to prove our devotion to God. But there are some dangers there - and Paul addresses these in answer to a perplexing question.

    There was a saying when I first became a believer in Jesus Christ. It was a way of characterizing your devotion to the Lord – you’d say “I’m radically saved.” We meant that we had given all of ourselves to Him, and it was a good thing. But some people took the radical part to extremes. There were ...read more

    Encouraging and empowering the believer to live as the child of God they have been called.

    NIV 1 Peter 1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ...read more

    Michael W. Smith words says it all, “I coming back to the heart of worship, when it’s all about you Jesus.” Those are the words of the message this morning – the heart of worship. But instead of worshipping God in the distance, you can come up close. You

    No matter where you are found this morning it is time to move. If you have just been a member it’s time to move. If you have just been serving it’s time to move. If you have been sharing its time to move further out than you have gone before.

    WHAT GOD HAS TO OFFER Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14 -21 Introduction I like what David Jeremiah once said, “Everywhere you go, you meet them --- the ones who sit on the back row of life, whisper, and roll their eyes.

    based on 91 ratings
     | 20,520 views

    One of the greatest temptations for Christians is to "just stand around" and watch others do things for God. This sermon got a great response from many in the audience.

    OPEN: Back in the 1800’s there was a group of believers known as the Millerites, who were led by a man named William Miller – a Baptist preacher who had predicted (in 1831) that about 12 years later - sometime between March of 1842 and March of 1843 - Jesus would come ….
