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 …
We become accustomed to our condition, having no hope that anything will ever be better. We often think money is the answer, but it’s usually not the answer. This week’s sermon took a look at the crippled beggar who waited by the gate called Beautiful for people to throw him their change. 1 One day …
Paul knew that the news he’d received by divine intervention was too good to keep to himself! He began immediately spreading the word to the Gentiles that this Jesus character was actually the Son of God. 16 To reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response …

I have grown up in the church, but I feel there is so much I didn't understand until I was older. Maybe I just didn't really listen when I was younger. I had heard the term "gospel" often, but didn't really equate it with the life of Jesus until I was well, older. You've probably …
