There was great purpose in Stephen's speech before the Jerusalem council and it had some very curious turns. This is the first of three messages that explore this inspired monologue.

Death and brokenness are as much a reality in our time as it was at the time Luke penned this letter. This message helps us to bridge the wonderful application of this text from the time of its writing to our day today.

Some view the Law as God's condemnation of us, others as proof of something we are liberated from, still others view it as something irrelevant to us.

The incarnation of the Christ Child is both precious and mysterious yet during this season many are asked, -Do you believe in Santa--...

Have you ever felt like you just don't belong- In this message, we follow the apostle Saul through one such 'valley' experience and see how God brought resolution, fulfillment and purpose out of what the world would deem hopelessness.

As Christians, we have all had Christ make miraculous changes in our hearts. In this text, Saul's -new inner man- goes on grand display and has great meaning for us today.

Sometimes God puts actions on our hearts that may seem a bit, shall we say, out there. In this text, a Christian named Ananias was having one of those days. Be glad this happened because there are rich implications for us today.
