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.

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.

I Can - Audio May 28, 2017
What if Scripture was supposed to be a blessing instead of a burden? What if Scripture was supposed to bring us joy and not discourage us? What if Scripture wasn't supposed to be the "pie in the sky" ideal, but the reality of the way we were supposed to live? What if instead of saying "I can't" we started believing "I can […]
I Can Pray Boldly - Audio May 21, 2017
Once we stop taking Scripture at face value, we begin to trust more in what people can do in the natural world, than in what God can do through prayer. If prayer has become routine for you. If you've lost confidence in the power of prayer to make a difference, I have good news for you. There is more!
I Can Overcome - Audio May 14, 2017
Poor pitiful Christians barely scrape by. Poor pitiful Christians survive but rarely thrive in their spiritual lives. Poor pitiful Christians live defeated, discouraged lives. If you believe a poor pitiful Jesus Gospel, and live a poor pitiful Christian life, then I have good news for you. There is more!
I Can Have Hope - Audio May 7, 2017

I Can Know Jesus - Audio April 23, 2017
If you understand Jesus to be information to be learned instead of a person to have a relationship with, then this morning I have good news for you. There is more.
