Act(s) III Scene I & II
Acts chapter 3 records the healing of the lame man at the gate called Beautiful. Within an environment of prayer, Peter and John visit the temple to pray and encounter a man begging for alms. Disregarding what did not have, they offered him what they did have; the Name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. Executing their power of attorney by Jesus' Name, they extended the kingdom of God to this man and he was healed. How did we relate this story to our world? How shall we respond to a Sovereign move of God? This message visits these questions and several others.

Act(s) II Scene II
After the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we see Peter imparting the essence of the Lord Jesus through his sermon on the Day of Pentecost. No one before had ever paid much attention to what Peter had to say, but this day it was different. Because of God's anointing power, 3000 people responded to Peter's call; the kingdom of God grew and the church began. Thus resulted community in its purest form. This message deals with the impartation, addition, and community contained in this passage.

Act(s) II Scene I
In God's Sovereign design and order, His Spirit would be poured out, fulfilling the prophecy of Joel, on the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost celebrated the first fruits of new grain and the Lord certainly had something new and special for His servants and the church that day. What happened that day to so change this group of disciples into a powerhouse company for the Kingdom of God. This is that of which Jesus spoke when He said, "Not many days from now you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Pentecost continues today.

Act(s) I Scene II
When is 12 more important than 11? Why is 12 more important than 11? In Acts we see Peter addressing the abdication of Judas as one of the twelve apostles and the need to see the Scripture fulfilled in selecting another to replace Judas. This message addresses how obedience to God and the ordering of our lives and businesses can align us with the Father and usher in the outpouring of His Spirit into our lives and churches.

Nevertheless
With the erosion of our society all around us; including the moral, financial, and political landscape, we need to be able to live in the land of "Nevertheless." Pastor James Hambrick brings us from the dwelling place of despair to the only place we can find hope; in our own "Neverthleless." This message deals with God's blessings to us and our need to embrace the One doing the blessing rather than the blessing itself.

Act(s) I Scene I
In Scene I of Act I of the Book of Acts, we see Jesus instructing the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait on the power of the Holy Spirit. The Promise of the Father would surely come and the result of that promise would enable and empower them to do the mission set forth by the King. Only then are we able to be found "so doing" when the King returns to gather His kingdom.

Introduction to the Acts of the Holy Spirit
The Book of Acts is often called the Acts of the Apostles. While that is certainly not incorrect, maybe the real story of this book is the Acts of the Holy Spirit. This message introduces and offers an overview of this book of action and identifiable history for the disciple of Christ. As we approach a time of God sovereignly moving in a next awakening, it is prudent to study the first great move of His Spirit recorded in this letter written by Doctor Luke to his friend, Theophilus.

The Essence of a P31
Wives and mothers who endeavor to emulate the biblical model are often denigrated and considered irrelevant by the current world culture. This message examines the words of King Lemuel's mother in Proverbs 31 as she offers the model for womanhood that has endured down through the ages.

The Powerful(l) Process of Evangelism
One plants; one waters; but it is God who gives the increase. Without the dynamic power of God the Father, there would be no salvation from bondage to sin into the kingdom of God. It is the power of God that reaches into the kingdom of darkness and rescues us out then gives us a transfer into His kingdom. This message highlights how we are absolved of the responsibility to "close the deal" when engaging lost souls with the message of the kingdom. God is the mover; the Lord of the Harvest.

Kingdom Power for the Mission
It is possible to reduce our faith to one that is academic and intellectual; only following principles without accessing the power of God for the mission before us. This message looks at the early church and how they got into a place of receiving the power of God through the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God does not consist in words, but rather in power.
