Sunday Sermon: Why Pentecost Matters

The events of the day of Pentecost were the fulfillment of Jesus’ promises to the disciples. In obedience to Jesus, the disciples had gathered, prayed, and waited until the promise of the Father came (Acts 1:5). As the disciples waited, and prayed, Jesus kept His word and poured out the Holy Spirit on those who were gathered (v33). The pouring out of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 is merely the first demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s work in and for the Church of Jesus Christ. The book of Acts continually points out to us the many works the Holy Spirit does on behalf of the Church.. Speaker: Stacy J Ross. Acts 2:1-47. Series: Pentecost: The Promise Of The Father.

Waiting In Hope - Audio October 22, 2017
A temptation that we can face as we wait on God is to lower Scripture to our circumstances. We start trying to find reasons why God doesn't fully do what this promise we've been holding on to says He does. We lower Scripture till it fits with our circumstances and experiences and then say, "Hooray!" But what if we're not supposed to […]

Staying In The Race - Audio September 10, 2017
God has given us everything we need so that we can finish our race. He has given us the Holy Spirit. There is grace to help in our time of need. He places within us the desire to finish and the power to finish (Philippians 2:12-13). Through all of this, God has, in essence, said to us “Stay in the race”.However before any of this can really benefit us, we mu […]
The Problem Of Pain - Audio September 3, 2017
One of metaphors used in Scripture to describe the Christian life is that of a race. There are times when the running is easy and there are times when the running hurts. When the pain starts the greatest temptation is to quit to ease the pain. However, we have to recognize that quitting when it hurts will always prevent us from finishing the race. We have to […]
Encourage One Another - Audio August 27, 2017
Chances are we all know what is to be discouraged. But imagine for a second that you were a part of a group of people that were there to pick you up when you were feeling down. Imagine being a part of a group of people that remind you of what God has said about you when you've listened to what the enemy has said about you. Imagine being a part of a grou […]
Bear One Another's Burden - Audio August 13, 2017
It's rare for someone in our culture to go to believers who are wondering from the truth and try to bring them back. We just aren't that involved in one another's personal or spiritual lives. The very thought of this makes most of us uncomfortable. We are afraid of coming across as judgmental. We are afraid of coming across as unloving. Really […]
Serve One Another - Audio August 6, 2017
Many today read what Scripture says about Jesus setting us free and conclude that freedom means that we really don't have to do anything we don't want to do. If someone says there are things we are to do, or are not to do, they are told they are infringing on the freedom Christ has given us. But is this sort of absolute, personal autonomy what Jesu […]
Members Of One Another - Audio July 30, 2017
There are so many times as Christians we seek to be an army of one. Americans are a very individualistic culture. In this culture of individuality, we have developed a sort of rugged individualistic mindset about Christianity. This mindset gives the idea that we really don't need one another, and that we have no real responsibility to one another. This […]
Devoted To One Another - Audio July 23, 2017
Families are intended to be places of encouragement, acceptance and love. This should be the way the church functions as well. What would it look like for the church to function as family that loved one another and was devoted to one another?
One Another - Audio July 16, 2017
When we are first saved, it is right and necessary for the focus to be on ourselves. We focus on our salvation. Improving our relationship with Jesus. Our spiritual growth. All of that is good, and right. However, if we are truly improving our relationship with Jesus, and growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, there will come a time in our relat […]

The Advantage Of The Spirit - Audio June 18, 2017
Would you rather have Jesus right next to you, or have the Holy Spirit within you? We often wish Jesus was still here today. We envy the disciples who lived in the presence of Jesus. They could be with Him, see Him, and talk with Him physically. But what if the Holy Spirit within us was better than Jesus beside us? Let’s see what Scripture says.
