Send us Fan Mail This morning we are continuing through the book of Acts, the story of the early church. It has been quite an exciting ride for the early disciples so far. They had been following Jesus, convinced that he was the Messiah, the one who would overthrow their Roman oppressors and restore Israel to its former glory. But Jesus was brutally crucified, nailed to a cross, crushing his follo...

Send us Fan Mail This morning we are continuing through the book of Acts, the story of the early church. In the first chapters, Jesus has risen from the dead, ascended to heaven, and sent His Holy Spirit to be the presence and power of God inside each believer.

Send us Fan Mail This morning, I am continuing in my sermon series through the Book of Acts. So far, Jesus has risen from the dead, ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit has been given to the disciples at Pentecost to be God’s presence inside of them, Peter has preached to the gathered crowd, and in one day the church has grown from 120 to 3120 in one day. Last week we looked at the inspiring way in...

Send us Fan Mail This morning, I am continuing in my sermon series through the Book of Acts. So far, Jesus has risen from the dead, ascended to heaven, and now the Holy Spirit has been given to the disciples at Pentecost, as Jews from all over gather for this annual feast to celebrate the first fruits of the harvest and the giving of the law to Moses at Mt. Sinai many years ago. After the Holy Spi...

Send us Fan Mail Last week, I began a new sermon series going through the book of Acts. This morning we’ll be in Acts 2, looking at what is known as the Day of Pentecost. In Acts 1, we saw Jesus, after rising from the dead, spend 40 days in Jerusalem teaching his disciples about the kingdom of God before He ascended to heaven. The ascension is an often-overlooked event in the life of Jesus, but it...

Send us Fan Mail In January of this year, we began a focus as a church on prayer and revival. Revival is an increase in the presence and power of God in a life, church, or community. This morning, I am beginning a new sermon series through the book of Acts, which we will look at while continuing to keep one eye on what we learn from God’s work in the early church about prayer and revival. Before w...

Send us Fan Mail John 20:1-31 - Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.  2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"  3 So Peter and the o...

Send us Fan Mail This morning is Palm Sunday, the first day of what is known as Holy Week, the last week of Jesus’ earthly life. Palm Sunday is the day which looks back at the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem that begins that final week. In a few days will be Good Friday, the day which commemorates his crucifixion. And next Sunday of course is Easter, the day in which we celebrate the resurrection of...

Send us Fan Mail This winter, I have been preaching through a sermon series that I have entitled Revival. A simple definition of revival would be an increase in the presence and power of God in both a church and a community. Earlier in this series, I mentioned what Richard Lovelace calls in his book Dynamics of Spiritual Renewal the two preconditions of revival: an increased awareness of the holin...

Send us Fan Mail Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.   This is a portrait of the one God favors, the person who is blessed by God. The Beatitudes build off each other. It begins with coming poor in spirit. The poor in spirit know they are spiritually bankrupt and are dependent upon God for everything. They co...

Send us Fan Mail This winter, I have been preaching through a sermon series that I have entitled Revival. A simple definition of revival would be an increase in the presence and power of God in both a church and a community. This series came out of a conviction that God has so much more available for us individually and as a church, but if we choose complacency, if we are fine with the status quo,...
