The Role of Faith in Our Obedience
What role does faith play in our obedience? We often think of these as Christian terms but do they relate to each other?
Join us as we continue our journey with the Early Church through the book of Acts.
Thank you for listening, liking and/or subscribing!
You are an encouragement. I hope I am too you as well!

All Human Life Is Sacred
มุมมอง 33วันที่ผ่านมา
This Sanctity of Life Sunday, I would like to encourage you to put your actions where your mouth is. Are you pro-life? Do you believe in the sacredness of all human life? What are you doing about it? Find out where your local pregnancy resource center is, what pregnancy resource centers are doing and what you can do to help. Also, how did God demonstrate in His Word that all of life is sacred a...
Would You Rather People Fear God or Fear You?
มุมมอง 1914 วันที่ผ่านมา
Strange question? Maybe. But what is our goal as Christians? Is it to bring people to a fear of God or a fear of man, namely, you and me as believers? How would Jesus have us operate in our world with opponents and unbelievers of all types? Does the Bible give us any guidance? I believe it does. It is my hope and prayer that we all will consider our engagement on issues of morality and the gosp...
A Star's Strange Movement (Mt. 2)
มุมมอง 30หลายเดือนก่อน
Life is full of troubles and trials but the shock and awe of Christmas demonstrates for us that God is in control. He's got us. We can trust Him no matter what comes. As for a star's strange movement, recorded in Matthew 2, we have questions. Who are the wise men? Where in the East did they come from? Why were they looking for a unique star? And why did they believe it led to a person born to b...
An Announcement to Shepherds
มุมมอง 35หลายเดือนก่อน
Luke 2:8-20 I wish to dedicate this sermon video to those we all have lost and miss this Christmas. Especially, I would mention my brothers; Harold, who died in 2021, and Ed, who died in 2023. Love and miss you. The shock of God sending angels to announce such a significant event to shepherds! Why not to royalty or the priestly class? The awe of God's plan explained to ordinary men. How profoun...
A Little Town Exalted
มุมมอง 28หลายเดือนก่อน
Bethlehem was a place of importance in the past. Under the Roman Empire, it was of very little import. However, God had not forgotten His plan for that little place. You and I may feel insignificant compared to others. But we shouldn't allow that to determine our worth. God feels very differently about our value. Take some time with us to travel to Bethlehem and see how a little town's exaltati...
The Virgin Birth
มุมมอง 32หลายเดือนก่อน
Of all of the ways that God could have chosen to intervene in regard to humanity's sin problem, this one is incredible! While it has been documented that those who have been childless, even over many years, have been able to have a child, a virgin birth is beyond real. It is against the natural order of things as God has created it. That is exactly the point. It is a miraculous act of God to be...
The Power of the Lamb
มุมมอง 282 หลายเดือนก่อน
This begins the shock and awe Christmas series of sermons. A lamb can be described in a lot of ways but powerful is not likely a way that you or I would describe such a creature. Yet, God had used lambs in powerful ways in the times of the Bible. In fact, Jesus as the Lamb of God is a very powerful individual. Take a few moments with us as we dwell on how this helpless, fragile lamb, born in a ...

You will be given an opportunity to consider the identity of the messenger from the Bible (pause as needed). This may be fun for "Bible nerds" (like me). Then, I will let you know who that person is.

Let's Pray and Work Toward Being a Church Like This

In Acts 4:32-5:11, we see the Early Church unified as Christ prayed that they would be. This unity produced results that should inspire all of us to desire to pray and work toward being a church like that.

Greater Is He That Is In You (Acts 3:1-4:4)

Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Peter and John went to the temple at the time of prayer. There, they met a man in need. He wanted something small but significant enough for him. That they couldn't provide but God had something better for the man. This brought quite the reaction and persecution. Yet God's will prevailed over man's will. To God be the glory! Whatever yo...

      Thank you, John. There are different perspectives on this. Thank you for yours. The last day here spoken of by Jesus is not a 24 hour day but a period of time encompassing all that God will do in the end time. I noticed you didn't present your counterpoint from the passage as I did. Also, Revelation was written by inspiration of God, the human author being John. The passage you cite is the seventh trumpet of the trumpet judgments. Much more is yet to come as you read on. The angel's announcement is declaring what shall be as a result.

    Proof of A Pre trib Rapture. Pay Attention to the Cloud and Clouds Jesus appears In and With. Acts chapter 1 verses 9 10 11 Cloud. In Red Luke chapter 21 verses 27 and 28 Jesus is coming In A Cloud the Rapture. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 7 Jesus is coming With the Clouds when he comes back to the Mt of Olive the second coming KJV.

      I wouldn't read too much into cloud or clouds. Notice that a cloud hid Him from their sight (that doesn't necessarily mean there was only one cloud). Jesus rising in bodily form, ascending to heaven, wouldn’t need any more than one cloud to hide Him from their sight.

    Yes!! I love how you put it, "don't allow the enemy to high jack you..." We have been studying on soul ties, and one of the things we have learned time and time again is that the enemy has to have permission, an invitation to enter in. So we are reminded to be sober and vigilant because the enemy is roaming to find the weakest prey.... so having a prayer life and a Biblical study life is a matter of life and death. Prayer brings you close to God in intimacy....A parent, child relationship, and His word is life, instruction, direction, protection, and the strength we need to continue to fight the good fight, even when we may find ourselves in the miry clay. Awesome word, Pastor Bill.... thank you for the encouragement, nourishment ,and love from above 💖🙏🏻💖🙌🏻💖🛡🗡🥳✝️♾️💖🫶🏻

    This lecture contains one critical flaw, never answering the most important question: _how can the Bible be trusted?_ Without first consulting the Bible or the readers of it, how can one determine whether the Bible is true to any degree at all?

      @firstbaptistofbristol6139 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a good question and a topic for yet another sermon. One of the key areas is in the arena of prophecy. Many prophecies given long in advance foresaw what otherwise would seem unseeable. Thanks for watching and interacting.

      not vague. Specific prophecies, like that of Isaiah in Isaiah 53, of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, several hundred years before his arrival on this earth. Prophecies of kingdoms and the transfer of kingdoms in the book of Daniel. When I was young, yes, there was a "prophet" who would appear on tabloids at the supermarket just before the New Year. She would prophesy of things and most of them were general "duh" prophecies that most likely come true but even then most of her prophecies were off the mark. The Bible states that the true test of a prophet is if the prophecies come true. You asked about the Bible's reliability. That is one way to test its reliability. Do some research yourself on that. Jesus even predicted his death, burial and resurrection repeatedly before they happened, in specificity. There were eyewitnesses back then (over 500 in total - see 1 Corinthians 15) of his resurrection, many who were still alive at the time of that writing. Paul the apostle wrote that to the church at Corinth as if to say, go ask them yourself.
