Message: When the Church first began, they continued steadfastly in the apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. These are things that we should still be devoted to. To go along with their devotion, they loved the Lord and their neighbors with their actions. Thye gathered daily, they were unified, and they were grateful for wh…

Message: After Peter is done preaching his first sermon, the men who are listening have an opportunity to respond. Scripture tells us that they were cut to the heart. With that, the invitation was sent. That invitation was to acknowledge, believe, and confess. It was the invitation to the gift of the Holy Spirit and eternal life. Scripture: Acts 2:…

Message: In Acts Chapter 2, once the Disciples receive the promised Holy Spirit, they go out and they preach the Gospel in Jerusalem. Peter stands up and preaches the first sermon of the new church. In it, he preaches the message and the miracle of Christ. He preaches the righteousness and diety of Christ, he preaches the death of Christ, and he pr…

MESSAGE: After Jesus ascended, the Apostles had to go back to the upper room in order to wait on the promised Holy Spirit. So, that begs the question, what does waiting on the Lord mean? And what does it look like? Waiting on the Lord is a confident trust that God will fulfill His promise and that He has a purpose in the waiting. It looks like what…

MESSAGE: Right before Jesus ascended into Heaven, he promised that the Apostles would receive the Holy Spirit soon. Today, we look at that promise. We see that this promise is the promise of the Father. We see that this promise is the promise of the Restored Kingdom. And finally, we see that the promise of the Holy Spirit is the promise of the powe…

Message: Pastor Jeff Williams is beginning a series through the book of Acts. In this first message, he discusses the many infallible proofs that Scripture provides to prove the Gospel. These proofs are: The appearances of Christ, the testimony of the Apostles, the transformation of the Disciples and others, and the personal sacrifices the Apostles…

Message: In Philippians, Paul tells us to have the same mind in us that Christ has. That means that we must have the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ sees what the Father is doing, it sets our minds on eternal things, it is crucified, and is filled with the peace of God. Passage: Philippians 2:4-7 “Let each of you look not only to his own interes…

Message: The Lord is inviting us to join in Him. Before we can do that, we need to understand that there are 3 tables shown to us through Scripture. The first is the table of creation, where we were in fellowship with God. The second is the fall, where we now are invited to seek God, and the third is redemption, where we will celebrate with God. Be…

Message: How do we allow God’s good work to be completed in us? We grow in our identity in Christ, we grow in our purpose, and we grow in our practice. We, as Christians, have to understand that our identity can’t be found anywhere except for in Christ. We have to commit everything to the Lord and our thoughts and desires will begin to be transform…

Message: The Word of God is living and activeThe Word of God never comes back void. The Word shows us our need, and how to trust the Lord in that need. God's Word strengthens us and makes us wise about our days. The Word makes it clear who has rejected Him. The Word of God is about us knowing the Lord. Passage: Hebrews 4:12-13 "For the word of God …

Message: Our theme for this year is COMMITTED TO JESUS. In the passage for today, Paul warns Timothy to not have a form of godliness (pretend to be godly), but rather to be totally committed to Jesus as King and Lord. The 3 essentials to being committed to Jesus. 1) being committed to the sufferings of Jesus, 2) being committed to the lordship of C…

Message: This year, we will be focusing on finishing the race together. In our passage, Paul asked the Galatians you were running well, who hindered you? The answer is both the world, and you. That begs the question, how can we hinder each other? By discouraging instead of encouraging, by running in the wrong lane, and by having a little bit of, bu…

Message: As we come closer to Christmas, we are anticipating the coming of the Lord. While we are patiently, expectantly waiting on the Lord, we get to grow with Him, learn to recognize Him, labor to be with Him, and enjoy the wait with Him. Scripture: Luke 12:36 opendoorla.org

Message: As we begin our Advent season, we need to remember to keep our lamps burning. We need to be sober-minded in this intoxicating world. We need to gird up our minds against the lies of this world. We must stand on the truth of God's Word. And we must be ready to give an answer; to let our light shine before men. Scripture Reference: Luke 12:2…

Message: The Greek word translated "Forgiveness" literally means "to Let Go!" To forgive debts, like God did for us, is a beautiful work of God in us and towards others. Let's discover in God's word the Beauty of Forgiveness by "Letting Go!" Scripture Reference: Matthew 18:21-22

Message: In this episode, Pastor Jeff discusses the great conflict (struggle) that Paul has for the people of Colossae. He so desired that they would have a full assurance of understanding of who God and Christ truly are. A part of Paul's conflict or struggle was to share the word of God in such a way that they would not hear him, but hear and see …

Message: Have you ever experienced something so good you didn't want it to end? [Testimony of relationships and dating] Psalm 126 is a community song of trust and confidence in God, where the Israelites are asking Him to repeat Himself, proclaiming Him as the One who brings joy out of sorrow, laughter from tears and good out of evil. We often thing…

Message: Revival is a refreshed hunger, a desire for righteousness and to know God. Our desire should be to make Jesus the Lord of our lives. In the reference scripture, a man blind from birth, was healed. The Pharisees would not accept the healing and questioned the man, having predetermined Jesus as a sinner, not of God. In his frustration, the m…

Message: Maybe you had to choose between two things? Hard-pressed is having a difficult decision and choosing which way to go, better or best, or the better over the more needful. [Testimony of Better and Best, Salt and Light] What is better and what is best or needed? Accepting Christ is a newest, an abundance, but it is also a life of affliction …

Message: Intro [A personal story reflecting on a lesson in learning to drive in a bottleneck with rubberneckers] We can rubberneck scripture, passing it by without understanding it. The scripture passage is Jesus on the cross being mocked by passerby's for not using his power to save Himself. There are three groups of passerby's: 1) the casual peop…

Message: Peter is talking about the sufferings of the world and brings in spiritual gifts. Why don't we get involved? We know our flaws and mistakes. [04:16-08:20 Tim Wilcox's Testimony - God had a purpose] There's a lot of labor that goes into running a church, but there's also spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts are given to everyone who is a believ…

Message: In a society and church where where we are made to feel dispensable, not needed, unnecessary and expendable, God never will. There are many parts making up the family of God, and every part is indispensable. In Corinthians 12, the church is starting to have division based on the importance of spiritual gifts. The message of this chapter is…

Message: We need someone to speak for us sometimes when we're going through a hard time. [testimonial of advocacy] Scripture expresses the full fellowship we can have with God, Jesus Christ and should have with others. These relationships should grow in the abiding love of God. John wants us to know his reason for writing is to introduce the Advoca…

Message: A letter of Paul to Timothy as he nears the end of his life as he has kept the faith and awaits the crown of righteousness. Paul has been isolated and imprisoned, relying on the support of friends for survival. Paul reflects on his life in Christ and the witness of the Holy Spirit, caring little for his life, but that he might finish with …

Message: Have you ever been in a place where things don't go your way, trouble on every side? God is there. In the scripture reference, Israel has been exiled, but God has a plan for deliverance from Babylonian captivity and restoration for the faithful remnant. Have there every been times when it's not easy to see God working, seeming long and fee…

Message: Why do people refuse to believe in God when He is evident in all of creation? Most people suffer with pride, not wanting God to run their lives, which results in losing the meaning of life. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” - Psalm 14:1. In Mark 9:14-29 The disciples are unable to heal boy with a mute spirit. The boy's fat…

Message: Studies say every 1 to 2 years we have a huge transition and every 3 to 5 times in a life we have "life quakes". We have 2 responses: we lean into the Lord or we back off. Israel is an example of these responses. The context of Deuteronomy 30 is Israel's captivity, exodus and entry into the promised land. Out of fear they stay away from th…

Angela Nicholas shared on fear, anxiety, and worry at the Women of Wisdom brunch on July 29.

Message: Have you ever pondered the question, What is Life? There are different thoughts that go through our minds. There are also many quotes about life. Thomas Edison, an American inventor, once said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how lose they were to success when they gave up." In 2018, LIFE magazine published one of t…

Message: Have you ever see something you've been captivated by? We can see God working today with Jesus at the center of it all. In Luke 10:9, Jesus sends out the seventy-two people to share that "the Kingdom of God is now".
