Yes - God Is At Work In The World
Contributed on Jun 4, 2024
As people of God’s Word, we may approach the Bible with a bad assumption: We presume somehow God is less active now than he was in the narrative of the Bible.
I. Introduction – Slide 1 In Acts 16 and 17, Paul’s second missionary journey left little question. God was at work in the good and tough times: • In Derbe and Lystra, the churches there are growing.

"nimrod's Folly"
Contributed on Sep 5, 2023
From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

To best understand the letter to Smyrna, we need to understand this city’s close relationship to Rome and the Empire. Compared to the others, Smyrna and Rome are the most closely aligned for good reason. Two hundred years before Christ, Rome was at war with Hannibal and the Carthaginians. That ...read more

"white Stones And New Names"
Contributed on Jul 18, 2023
These are two of the salvific prizes pledged by Christ to believers in Pergamum being true to the Spirit’s call to resist the throne of Satan in their midst. (Please let me know if God used this message)
Title Slide From across the street, my friend, Randy, made a beeline at full sprint for my front door one summer day. We were about ten years old at the time. Breathless by the time he ran up our steps and rang the doorbell, excitedly he told me he had found treasure. In his hand was a white ...read more
