Two of the most difficult things to get straight in life are love and God. The two can’t be separated. To love the right way we have to be right with God and to deal with God the right way, we have to learn to love the right way. For John’s instruction to the churches …
Image Is Everything
Is image really everything? A lot of people seem to think so because we’ll go to great length to keep up appearances. It was the same in biblical times as well. Let’s take a look at what happened as the new church was forming. We talked last week about the growing number of those who …
Becoming An Acts 4 Church
What does it take to be the kind of church Peter spoke to in Acts 4? Our pastor’s message has been in Acts for a while now. I find this text to be very inspiring in the times we are living. We looked at Acts 4 beginning with verse 32. 32 All the believers were …
When’s Last Time You Had A Shaken Moment?
”After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.”Acts 4:31 What brought about this event of their meeting place being shaken? It happened after they prayed!

Do We Need Revival?
17 ”Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer.”Acts 3:17-18 Peter is speaking to those who had gathered to hear about this Jesus that they had condemned on a …

In February we looked at Acts 3:1-10, this week we go back to Acts 3 and continue looking at the crippled beggar that Peter and John heal. As they heal the beggar, people are astonished at this, it catches their attention, but they aren’t saved. Peter wants them to know that he is just like …
When You’ve Turned Back…
Life’s not always easy. It doesn’t go as we have planned. But God had his plan and it was more than any could have imagined! Jesus had been dropping hints that the end was near, but the disciples didn’t seem to understand what he was saying. Judas had already agreed to turn Jesus over to …
The Tomb Is Still Empty
Easter Sunday brings back memories of new frilly dresses, shiny new shoes, purse and hat. It was a long time ago! But Easter means so much more now than I remember as a young girl! I always look at things a little differently after the sermon on Sunday morning and this Easter was no exception. …
Remember That Time Jesus Was A Real Jerk…?
Who in their right mind would entitle a sermon with Jesus is a jerk? I’ll tell you who. Someone who wants to get your attention. Someone who wants you to understand that the stories in the Bible may go a little deeper than we think? You’ll understand this by the time you’re done reading this …

Where Is Your Faith?
We all have faith in something. When you sit down in a chair, do you examine it first to see if it’s sturdy enough to hold you or do you just sit down with faith that it’ll do what it’s supposed to do? Do you take the medicine you got at the pharmacy having faith …
