A World With or Without Jesus |
Imagine a world without Jesus. It is a world that has never heard of the golden rule. Nor has it a clue about the immortalized saying, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” What would the world be like without Jesus? It would be barren, artificial, hollow, corrupt, despairing and miserable. And don’t forget that there would be not a church on any corner preaching the good news, shouting to a world on the fringe of darkness to walk in the light. But worse than any heartache would be the joyless religious life of the world because there is no hope of the resurrection. |

When Miracles Happen (Acts 3:1-11) |
Do you believe in miracles? I do. Our whole faith is based on the reality of the miraculous. The question is not do I believe in miracles, God is able to do anything he wants to do, any time he wants to do it; the question we struggle with is this; is God going to do a miracle for me! In this message we will see how God takes ordinary things and does an extraordinary work! |

Effective Outreach |
As Christians, we are called to be witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ and to testify on His behalf. And our witness is even more essential than in a criminal trial, our Christian witness may affect the lives of those around us for eternity! A poor witness could effectively consign an unsaved acquaintance to face the guilty verdict before God’s Great White Throne. We Christians must accurately and skillfully bear witness to Christ so that we can reach the unsaved with the Gospel. But how do we do that? |

Four Fingerprints of an Authentic Church Part 2 |
How do I know if this is the right church for me? How do I know which church is church is the right church for me?

That is the real question facing the church today. Today I’m going to give you another four fingerprints of an authentic New Testament Church. |

Four Fingerprints of an Authentic Church Part 1 |
Did you know that according to studies, no two people have ever been found that have identical fingerprints, not even among identical twins? They also have something called 'persistence' or 'permanence'. This means do not naturally change over their lifetime. Does the church have fingerprints that can lead to a positive identification? |

The Power of Proclamation |
In the United States, we just had an election and when sufficient votes were counted, a proclamation was made about the winner. Those that agreed proclaimed their joy and those that didn't proclaimed their displeasure. A new grandparent can hardly be stopped from proclaiming their news! Join us here as Pastor Craig looks at Peter's first sermon after the arrival of the Holy Spirit and how God used the Power of Proclamation throughout scripture and how we need to use it today in fulfillment of the Great Commission. |

Spiritual Gifts |
If you disagree with me, can we still be friends? Some people just can’t or won’t be civil if they disagree with you. But there’s a difference between friendship and civility. God did not call us to be friends with everyone, but he did call us to love everyone. Civility and kindness are essential when we face disagreement. It’s important to love and respect people even when we can’t agree with them. But that doesn’t mean we have to be best buds. |

The Holy Spirit's Coming |
How do you know if the Holy Spirit genuinely lives within? What is the evidence you are truly a Christian. Is there an experience that every Christian ought to have to confirm that they have been filled with power from on high? In Acts chapter 2, something was about to radically change the way life was lived… forever. A shift was about to take place in the Spiritual plane. |

The Waiting Room |
Why is waiting so hard? And what’s the point of it anyway? It seems like such a waste! Have you ever asked yourself why God factored the waiting room into His grand plan for us? There must be a better way to get results. I hate waiting! Are you in the waiting room of life? The Bible shows us that waiting is necessary and needed in our lives. |

The Promise of the Father (Acts 1:4-8) |
In the early chapters of the book of acts, we discover that the Disciples got together for a prayer meeting in the upper room, waiting for the promise of the Father. On the Day of Pentecost, while they were gathered there, there came a mighty rushing wind and crowds gathered. At the same time, flames of fire descended from heaven and hovered over the disciple’s heads. What a scene! Then the disciples all began to speak in other tongues or other languages, telling the crowds about the amazing works of God!
What we need today is a powerful witness. Some of us feel powerless to affect the minds and hearts of the people we come into contact with. Fear not, faint not. This verse clearly states that the same power that resided in Peter and Paul is in every person who has the Holy Spirit living within. You SHALL receive power. Every believer has the power of almighty God pulsating within his heart! You have the power. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind! |

The Spreading Flame: Introduction |
Have you ever asked yourself why Christianity spread like wildfire across the globe? Why did people flock to join the faith? We began with a small group from the backwaters of the Roman Empire and after two or three centuries, lo and behold, they have somehow taken over the Empire. That is the story of Acts. That is the story of the spreading flame! |

Even When Helping is Hard |
If I were to write a letter of recommendation for you, would you have enough credibility become a citizen? All too often there is a disconnect between what we know to do, and what we really do! When you stand before God’s immigration counter will you be able to come up with specific examples of service that you have performed for God and others that demonstrate that you are a good citizen of heaven? Or will you hang your head before God and say, “I guess I haven’t done much of anything?” |
