    To be excited about the things the Lord has done for us

    Getting Excited--Acts 17:2-8 Introduction: Webster says the meaning of excitement is "to be stirred or thrilled." Many get excited at ball games or golf or other events.

    Early Christians were accused of turning the world "upside-down". The ironic thing is that it already was.

    Upside-Down World Acts 17:1-9 I was 11 years old and it was summer and I was in my element. Every morning we’d pack up our stuff, climb on our bikes and head down to the neighborhood swimming pool. There were usually a gang of about 6 of us, sometimes more, sometimes less. We got to the swimming ...read more

    What is it that you have been destined for?

    The news has been filled in recent days with a little boy, Elian Gonzalas. Tonight, as I speak on destiny, I wonder what the destiny of this young six-year old is? And as much as we would sit around the table and discuss his circumstances, and his plight in life, I wonder how much time we ...read more

    Sharing the gospel and making an impact.

    Introduction The truth is, bad news generally travels faster than good news. Within two hours the whole world knew that President John F. Kennedy had been killed, who killed him, where he was killed and how he was killed. Today, still more than half the world does not know the good news that ...read more

    Sharing Christ to a secular world. Are we troublemakers? Or are we peacemakers?

    I have been reading the report from the 9-11 Commission. I’m fascinated by some of the things I’m learning, but I also find myself feeling angry once again that our nation was so ruthlessly attacked. I find myself thinking of all of the victims, the families and relatives of those who died, the ...read more

    based on 38 ratings
     | 3,875 views

    The master of the ship was no longer the Master of the ship. The ship was blown eight hundred miles off course. The Devil was now in control. Our sinful habits take another turn. They become addictions!

    Title: "Getting Blown Off Course" You know better than to leave Fair Havens. Paul let the Centurion know that it was "God’s Will" for them to winter in Fair Havens. God had warned him not to leave the shores of the Island of Crete. Application. Being in the will of God should not be a ...read more

    How Does God's Word Taste?

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,708 views

    Some love the taste of God’s Word, others hate. The way God’s Word taste to us will determine the way we live our lives here and it will determine where we spend eternity.

    “How does it taste?” If that isn’t the most asked question on cooking shows, I don’t know what is. What do you suppose is the most popular response to that question? “It tastes gross!” No, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that response before. After all, if you’re good enough to have your own cooking ...read more

     | 3,129 views

    If you hear something in the sermon that you aren’t quite sure is true, how do you get a second opinion? Cross Reference your pastor with God’s Word.

    Acts 17:1-12 5th Sunday of Easter – A April 24, 2005 Acts 17:1-12 When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the ...read more

     | 3,288 views

    Picture youself sitting in a small boat. Lean far to one side by following some foreign doctrine, the boat turns over, lean too far to the other side in not doing anything, the boat turns over. Balance is needed.

    Title: The Question of Balance Scripture: Acts 17:1-15 Have you ever wondered just why it is you have a little toe? I mean really, think about it! It doesn’t do anything but just sit there. All the other toes move while we are walking. All the other toes are active and support us just fine. ...read more

    For Those In Quest Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 19, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 3,722 views

    The Bereans show us that a quest becomes noble when: 1. We receive the Good News with eagerness. 2. We examine the Scriptures to see if it is true. 3. We are transformed by the truth.

    My favorite part of Paul Harvey is the last segment of the newscast that he calls “For What It’s Worth.” One day he gave this interesting story: “Our For What It’s Worth Department hears from Hershey, Pennsylvania — where the woman in the Mercedes had been waiting patiently for a parking place to ...read more

    This simple outline focuses on Paul’s experiences with the Thessalonians and Bereans and conflict and recognizing sides in a conflict.

    At times, the right and wrong of an issue which divides is not clear. Often, we can use this checklist to determine who is acting in an ungodly manner. Character of Ungodly Opposition 1) Ungodly opposition is characterized by being emotionally driven. The Thessalonian Jews were "Jealous" ...read more

    Without controversy, anyone, will agree that the Apostle Paul was the one New Testament figure that stood out above all others. His life teaches us a wonderful pattern to follow.

    "THE MAN WHO TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN" Acts 17:1-6 This is Memorial Day Act 17:1-6 NOW AFTER [Paul and Silas] had passed through Am-phi-polis and A-pol-lo-ni-a, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
