Elements Of A Great Church
October 1, 2023 • John Anderson • Acts 4, Acts 5
The early church in Jerusalem experienced some things that made them truly a great church. Are we experiencing some of the same things today when it comes to our external outreach, our internal ministry to one another, and in our reverent fear of God?
El-Shaddia
July 16, 2023 • John Anderson • Genesis 17:1–8
For the first time in scripture, God identifies Himself as El Shaddai, the Almighty God that brings His people close to His breast for comfort. He is powerful, yet personal to every one of us. Let’s draw encouragement from this encounter with Abraham of old.
Lessons From The Storm
July 16, 2023 • John Anderson • Mark 6:45–53, John 6:12–15
Why would Jesus send the disciples out on the lake to face a coming storm? Because, for them, as well as for us, there are many lessons to be learned when in the storms of life. Best of all, we will hear His voice saying “It is I; be not afraid.”
What Every Father Must Teach His Children
June 18, 2023 • John Anderson • Genesis 22
Dads are seeking everything this world offers to help their children be successful, but God’s Word says that we should raise them to accomplish one goal - the smile and approval of Almighty God. The story of Abraham and his son Isaac in the land of Moriah teaches us some valuable lessons about helping our kids pursue God’s way of life.
Power for the Hour
April 3, 2022 • John Anderson • Acts 1:1–11
The early church had little in the way of resources, buildings, or celebrity, yet they turned their world upside down for Christ. How did they do it? They did it the same way you and I do it today; through the power of the Holy Spirit! Are you experiencing God’s power in your life?
Living a Meaningful Life
May 21, 2023 • John Anderson • Genesis 37, Genesis 38, Genesis 49
We must be convinced that God is working in our lives at all times to conform us unto the image of His Son - in the good and the bad times, in the ups and downs of life. The Old Testament character Joseph is a great example of the principle that God’s economy of promotion usually begins with problems. We must be patient and let the process work itself out in our lives if we hope to have a meaningful life.
Faith That Makes A Difference
May 14, 2023 • John Anderson • 2 Timothy 1:1–7
High impact people usually perform just when there is a desperate need that presents itself. The Bible is full of them! These are people filled with faith, not fear. These faith-filled difference makers are not just born, they are developed.
