Why Evangelism Matters
The greatest need in our church today is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On the Day of Pentecost nearly 2000 years ago, the early church received this outpouring and 3000 people came to know Jesus. What’s amazing is that just 50 days before this amazing event, the disciples were arguing about who would be the greatest. Dissension and ego needed to vanish before the Holy Spirit was poured out. Our church today needs to commit to this kind of…
Spiritual Habits
In order to grow and develop, we must learn and sharing our discovery with others. It is the same in Spiritual growth. Spiritual growth happens as we develop “Habits” which are consistently applied to our lives. Habits like… Prayer, Bible Study, Praise, Giving, and Service draw us into deep intimate relationship with Jesus and the Father. As we allow the Holy Spirit to mold these Habits to our character, we grow into the children God desires us to be. Scripture:…
What’s Your Mission Statement?
A mission statement defines what an organization is, why it exists, and its reason for being. So what’s your goal in life? What keeps you up at night? What does your heart beat for? Do you have a mission statement for your life? If so, what is it? Scripture: Acts 1:8 – But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,…
All Called
So often we the people, leave the work of outreach and evangelism to the paid Pastor, Evangelist, or Bible worker. That however is not Biblical. We tout the “Priesthood” of all believers when it serves our agenda, but when it is time to actually roll up our sleeves and do the work, we make excuses. Sounds a lot like Matthew 22 where those invited made light of the invitation. Join us for a head-on look at the Biblical call to…
Abraham’s Seed Becomes a Nation
The patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, knew God as the God of Promises. Just over 400 years later Israel was reintroduced to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Who would now fulfill those promises (Ex 2:15; 6:2-7). The seed of Abraham, Israel, had grown large in number over those intervening years and now God would lead that nation out of slavery in Egypt to the promised land (Gen 15:13). There remained yet another unfulfilled promise, that being the making…
Sabbath School – Why Witness?
God’s great longing is for all people everywhere to respond to His love, accept His grace, be transformed by His Spirit, and be saved into His kingdom. He has no greater desire than our salvation. His love is boundless. His mercy is measureless. His compassion is endless. His forgiveness is inexhaustible. His power is infinite. In contrast to the heathen gods, which demanded sacrifices, our God has made the supreme sacrifice. No matter how much we desire to be saved,…
The Armour Part 7 – The Sword of the Spirit
In the beginning was the Word…and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. This Word spoken from the beginning down through the ages comes into full realisation in Jesus Christ. He and his Words are a weapon against the Kingdom of darkness. We over come by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony…our story of how The Word made flesh has saved us and called us to an eternal inheritance. Song: Michael W. Smith…
The Armour Part 6 – The Helmet of Salvation
The Helmet is our confidence that through Jesus Christ, our ultimate Salvation will be realised in Christ…This Hope we have as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.

The Armour Part 5 – The Shield of Faith
Where does faith come from? What does faith look like…and how do we face the enemy with it. Come with us on a journey as we look at the shield of faith that Extinguish’s all the fiery darts of the enemy! Scripture: Romans 10:14-16; Hebrews 12:1-2; Hebrews 11; Isaiah 59:15-19; Isaiah 54:17; Judges 6-7; 1 Corinthians 4:6-7; Galatians 2:20; Revelation 12:10-12, 14:12 “The Shield of Faith” preached by Brian Reed on June 27th, 2020 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist…
Sabbath School – Living by the Word of God
The best method of studying the Bible is of no use if we are not determined to live by what we learn from Scripture. What is true for education in general is also true for studying the Bible in particular: you learn best not just by reading or hearing, but by practicing what you know. This obedience opens a full treasure house of divine blessings that otherwise would be closed to us, and it leads us on an exciting and…
