Pastor Eugene Smith

The mercy of God is great. There is mercy for both the oppressed and the oppressor. But in particular, the story of Zacchaeus shows us that it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance. What repentance looks like is seen by the response of Zacchaeus to the acceptance of Jesus.

God graciously pours out His Spirit, and anoints every member for ministry. God sovereignly distributes gifts as He wills, but the believer has a part to play. What is that part? What role do we play in manifesting the kingdom of God to a lost and dying world?

The Kingdom of God comes with power. What role did miracles play in the message of Jesus? What is their purpose? Are there dangers in seeking after miracles without understanding their purpose? This study will show how the miracles of Jesus express the mercy of God as the kingdom has come to displace the powers of darkness.

What is the gospel? What message did Jesus preach? What is the kingdom? What is its nature? Who is the king? This message focuses on the fulfillment of the long awaited kingdom, and the generous nature of God who brings it!

Jesus was moved with compassion, but what does that mean? Is it the same as pity, sympathy or mercy? Compassion motivated all that Jesus ever did. Learn about the depth of feeling Jesus has for man who is made in the image of God.

Why did God Give the Ten Commandments? What is the purpose of the law? How does the law reflect the character of God? This study looks at the desire of God to enter a covenant with His people, as He takes them to Himself in an intimate union!

Where is God when life gets shipwrecked? Why the pressures? This look at Acts 27 sees the hand of God leading to a destination no one was expecting, but one God had set up! Take courage in the storms of life!

Many messages are born in the fire! When my wife, Darla, was going through cancer, God used the analogy of the bow and arrow to speak His word in our lives at that time. May the Holy Spirit bless you as you hear His word!

After the exodus, the miraculous deliverance from slavery in Egypt, God immediately leads his people through the wilderness. Why does He do this? God is preparing to reveal Himself to the world through His people, who must receive His laws to retransform them. But first the heart must be tested so that its inner workings are brought to the surface. Through this means, God prepares His people to receive His law so that they may be transformed into His image for all the world to see!

What is the proper response to grace? How should we then live? Having seen the enormity of God's grace towards us, to what do we dedicate our lives? The Christian life is not one of 'laws' or 'moral platitudes' but is instead a gracious response of gratitude that flows out of a changed heart.
