Getting Ready for the End
This is a message of salvation a message of cleansing. This sermon is dedicated for growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also in this sermon you will learn of the two wings of the church, one being the cathedral wing and the other is a home or cell wing. We need two healthy wings to fly.

Peter: Walking in the Spirit
We are living in amazing times. The Holy Spirit is on the move. The fire of God’s love is being ignited in the hearts of those who are hungering and thirsting for righteousness. In these challenging times, may the cry of our hearts be, “Fill us, Holy Spirit! Teach us to walk in your ways. May we become a community of people who truly love each other.” As we consider the stories of Peter and the early church community in…
Peter’s Dream of Righteousness
Jesus shared some of his excitement about what the church would become in the words, “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Peter shared some of his excitement about what the church would become in his letters. What would it be like for us to catch the excitement of what the Spirit is up to in our church?

House to House Evangelism

Courageous Like Peter
When we think of the lowest of cowardice in Bible stories we think of Peter denying that he knew Jesus. When we think of the best of courage in the Bible there is Peter, again at the top of the list. How does one go from the poster child of cowardice to the model of courage in a few weeks. Sign me up for that journey. Scripture: Heb 12:3; John 13:36-38; Jn 14:1,2-4,6; Mt 5:3; Romans 14:15-19,24; Mt 5:3; Phil…
Polka Player Joy
In a world full of strife, fear, and violence, how can we find joy? Is joy something we can find? Through trials and moments of beauty, serving and being served by others, through times of pruning, God has built in the ability to experience joy in every circumstance. Join Rozella Stroud, as she explores finding joy in everyday life. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6; John 14:1-3; Revelation 4:11; John 15:5; John 15:2; Psalm 139:1 “Polka Player Joy” preached by Rozella Stroud on…
Exploring Prayer
Prayer is the continuation of the conversation with God that started when Adam first opened his eyes. God called this conversation “very good.” Through prayer we re enter that conversation and receive forgiveness, healing and restoration to the family of God. As helpful as this is, it can also, at times, become very confusing and painful. David, Mary and Martha and Job were people in the Bible who also, at times prayed in deep pain and frustration. They found this…
Knowledge of God
Just as politicians today use lies and deceptive language to castigate their opponents, Satan used lies and misrepresented God to God’s newly created people. Satan continues to do so today. How does God get His message to those of us on earth? Scripture tells us that God is worthy of our worship because He is our creator and our redeemer and that’s what He uses to communicate His love to us. In spite of sin, nature continues to shout that…
Low Hanging Fruit
The “butterfly effect” is the theory that small causes can have large effects. A butterfly flaps its wings, and the result of just the slightest shift in the air, can cause a tornado several countries over. Based on the mathematical chaos theory, those two incidents seem quite extreme to be related. But like the ripple effect, where the smallest ripple can reach the far edges of the lake, we cannot help but affect the world and others in it simply…
