    The First Christians Acts 11:19-26 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were ...read more

    The church is the body of Christ working and serving today, so let’s examine the kind of church Jesus would want.

    What Kind of Church Does Jesus Want? Editors note: Sunday 14 January 2007 was a bad weather day in the DFW area. Comments made during the message had this in mind. Today is a difficult day as a pastor when the weather is bad and few people venture out to attend the services. So, speaking of ...read more

    Most Christians today only share the Gospel among those with whom they are comfortable, which will result in only a relative few being reached for Christ. A few Christians today step out of their comfort zone and share the Gospel with those who are diffe

    Is there a model church for us to pattern after? Any search for a model Church must inevitably begin in the New Testament.

    This sermon calls the laity into action. The work is too great for the clergy alone. The laity must get involved, share their stories and watch God do the rest!

    Subject: Church Expansion In Antioch Acts 11:19-21 Introduction: The early Christian Church grew rapidly as the Holy Spirit guided it through conflict, prejudice and crisis. It seems that none of the Jews including Peter really understood that God would bring salvation to the whole world. During ...read more

    This sermon follows the progression of Acts 11:19-26 and identifies 10 things we should be aware of today. I used train illustrations with the 10 words.

    There are 10 stops along the tracks. (I used train related illustrations for each of these words) 1. Dispersion – v. 19a – Sometimes life takes us in many different directions just as it did in the early Church. 2. Exclusion – v. 19b – Often we like the early Church miss the point that the gospel ...read more
