Signs Of A False Professing Heart, Acts Series 8:9-24

There are signs that may be occurring in your life that your profession of faith in Christ was not genuine.  This is a matter of high importance to examine yourself, examine your fruits and what you love in your life.  Simon Magis is someone who professed Christ, was baptized and had the marks of a believer from appearance, but lacked the change in his heart.  Until Peter confronted him with the stark truth that his heart was not right with God and to repent asking God to forgive him, truly, with his heart, Simon did not realized it.  Outward professions, baptisms and even going through all the motions of Christianity is not salvation.  Salvation is from the heart in humble repentance and faith in Christ as both Lord and Savior.

Persecuted By Hate, Acts 8:1-5

In Acts 8, we see the flood gates of persecution open upon the Lord's church.  In light of the undercurrent of hate to God's people, there is an important amendment in Kentucky that voters will see on Nov 8th, dealing with abortion. This is one way God's people can let their voice be known while we still have the freedom to vote.  The results and any laws of restriction on religious freedom to come should not scare or worry God's people.  God is on His throne and our Lord's command still stands, to preach the Glorious Gospel of Peace to all mankind.

Biblical Truth Series, Part 4: Creation, part 2

Our 2nd look at Genesis we take each verse in chapter 1.  The thread of thought is God created earth for mankind to inhabit, while God continues to control and preserve creation by His power.  This does not mean that the existence of 2nd laws do not exist, but that God uses the laws of nature He created to govern the order and predictions we observe in creation.

Church Persecution: The Tipping Point, Acts Series 8:1-8

The martyrdom of Stephen started the persecution against the Lord's church. The undercurrent of hatred was visible but not acted upon until they got the support of the public opinion (through false accusations and deceit). We see this exist in our climate today and has always been a factor through history. What will ignite the spark that will open the door to intense denials of our religious freedoms? Whatever it is, God is on His throne and we are not to be afraid or nervous, but faithful depending on God's grace to see us through.

Our Shepherd, His Sheep: John 10:1-18

A beautiful, comforting and peaceful thing it is to be a sheep that Christ has called by name to Himself.  He calls, we know His voice and we follow.  May God fill your hearts!

Biblical Truth Series, Part 4: Creation, part 1

The Bible gives us day one of history.  God created the heaven and the earth.  It wasn't until the published works of Darwin that Evangelicals wanted to re-define a literal 6 day creation and a young earth.  Please join us while we look at part 1 of our Creation study.

Stephen’s Sermon, Acts Series 7:1-53

Stephen being 'full of faith, the Spirit and Wisdom' (6:5-10) was also full of God's Word (7).  As an answer to the false accusations against him, Stephen relives Israel's history but with a correct understanding of God's sovereign revelation and the repeated pattern of Israel rejecting God's message and messengers.

Baptism: What Does The Bible Say?, Romans 6:1-10

Baptism is a subject from the Word of God that deserves our humble and honest attention. What does the Bible teach us about Baptism? The good news is, the Bible clearly teaches us; how, who and why.
