When Heaven Came Down

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 24, 2024

based on 1 rating
| 48 views

Pentecost was a once forever event presaging the work of the Spirit in God's people. The phenomena were displayed once, but the power of the Spirit continues to be revealed through the testimony of God's redeemed people who are empowered to do this holy work.

“When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 24, 2024

| 10 views

"From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8.

MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND CELIBACY. Matthew 19:1-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was cynical in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MATTHEW 19:3). I assert this on two ...read more

Preaching Of The Cross

Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024

| 14 views

The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

Death Is Dead, Christ Has Conquered

By Sam Allberry on May 23, 2024

| 10,266 views

Too many of us view the resurrection of Jesus as little more than a nice, happy conclusion to the gospel story. But the Easter story isn’t just “what happens next” to Jesus after his death. It doesn’t just wrap up the story; it fulfills it. In fact, there really is no story without it.

Doing Ministry Without Losing Your Soul Part 3

By Lance Witt on May 22, 2024

| 14,940 views

5 Pastoral Emergencies That Aren’t Emergencies

By Carey Nieuwhof on May 18, 2024

based on 1 rating
| 20,121 views

"If you’ve been in ministry for any length of time, you know the challenge of trying to move the mission forward and handle the pastoral needs of a congregation at the same time. One of the most perplexing problems pastors and church leaders face is how to handle ‘pastoral emergencies’—the crises that come up in the lives of people that they look to you to help solve."
