Sermons by Rev. Lloyd Harter
Every Member a Missionary
How do visible churches grow? How does God grow the invisible church? If God will bring people to heaven, why do your efforts matter? We continue our study of the book of Acts today in 11:19-30.
Free and Clean
Is it just the believers in Cornelius town and day that were considered “unclean?” Do we consider some Christians “unclean” because we know the most public sins they have committed? What does it mean to be clean? We continue our journey through the book of Acts in 11:1-18.
Join Christ With Us
The Christian church is in decline across America in its numbers; they drop every year across most denominations. What change does the church experience to help it grow? What change did the church in Cornelius’ day experience before it could grow? We continue our study of the Book of Acts today in Acts 10:1-23.
Why Raise Someone from the Dead?
Why do resurrection miracles matter when someone is going to inevitably die anyway? Why does scripture include them? How would you have reacted if you were in Peter’s shoes being asked to raise someone from the dead? We continue our journey through the book of Acts today in 9:32–41.
You Can’t Hurt the Church
What can someone do that good actually hurt you that Christ can’t use for your strength and growth? How does this apply to you? How does this apply to the church? We continue our study of the book of Acts today in Acts 9:19-31
Just One…
How important is one soul? The Ethiopian was worth a miraculous whirlwind and a miraculous effort: just one person. We continue our study of the book of Acts today in Acts 8:26-40.
Sorcerer No More
Can God make a Christian out of a sorcerer? Can God make a Christian out of someone you’d never assume would be interested in walking through our church doors? He’s God; he can do anything, even through us, so let’s stop saying about specific people “God could never…” We continue our study of the book of Acts today in Chapter 8.
Why Is Jesus Standing
As Stephen, the first Christian martyr dies, he says, “I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” What does it mean that Jesus is standing at the right hand of God? What did it mean to Stefan? What did it mean to the Jewish leaders? What does it mean to you? We continue our study of the book of Acts today in chapter 7.
Highly Feared and Highly Regarded
How can we still welcome people into worshipping with us when so many are afraid to set foot inside of a church building? We can learn from the apostles; they had the same issue in the development of the New Testament church. We continue our study in the book of Acts today in Chapter 5.
You Need God
God doesn’t need you, but he does use your need of him to administer to others that they might know him and that you might know him better. We go back just a little bit in our study of the Book of Acts today in 1:12-26.
