    Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? NO there’s a cross for everyone and there’s a cross for me. Even though many disciples relished the privilege to preach in the name of Jesus, persecution caused many to quit. They thrived on the

    1. Why do you think some people grow tired of their jobs? Every job has its so called good and bad points.

    1. Have you ever wondered why certain people miss the point in many sermons? So many people misunderstand the essence of Godâs message for a number of reasons.

    A study on the usefulness and validity of speaking in tongues from I Corinthians chapter 14.

    WHY SPEAK IN TONGUES? A study in I Corinthians 14 Pastor Ken Miller “Visa, its everywhere you want to be. Don’t leave home without it” is a slogan of the popular credit card. It reminds me of the words of Jesus in Acts 1.4-5, where our Lord commanded His followers not to ...read more

  • What Does Faith Look Like?

    Contributed by Joe Jones on Feb 26, 2001

     | 18,374 views

    Is it possible to see faith? If we can recognize it, perhaps it may be easier to walk in it!

    WHAT DOES FAITH LOOK LIKE? Acts 14:9 “Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, Stand up on your feet!. At that the man jumped up and began to walk.” Faith is perhaps one, if not the, most important element necessary to grow in the Christian walk. Goerge ...read more

    Despite the growing opposition to the gospel, Paul and Barnabas never stopped preachign the gospel, even at therisk of their lives. They also give a good example of mission strategy.

    If you were here two weeks ago you’ll remember how, when Paul and Barnabas got to Pisidian Antioch they first went to the synagogue to speak about Jesus as the promised Messiah, but then when their message was rejected by the Jews they turned to the Gentiles. And the Gentiles gladly received this ...read more

  • Attributes To Admire Series

    Contributed by Rich Dunbar on Jun 14, 2005
    based on 28 ratings
     | 6,227 views

    This sermon identifies four attributes worth admiration in Paul and Barnabas. These same attributes ought to be present in us as fathers.

    Admiration is an interesting thing. The dictionary defines it as “a feeling of pleasure, wonder and approval”. I think that most men want their children to admire them in one sense or another. I mean I want my children to take pleasure in me as their father, I want them to have a sense of wonder ...read more

  • "Are You Listening?"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 2,426 views

    When the Word of the Lord is truly preached, the Lord of the Word is speaking. Are you listening?

    “And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.” Every once in a while we preachers get a reality check concerning just how well we are communicating and how well people are listening to the things we say from the pulpit. That’s good. I think ...read more

  • The Living God - [preaching]

    based on 94 ratings
     | 16,999 views

    Biblical preaching always leads to DECISION, sometimes to DISTURBANCE, and, as is the case in America today, often to DIVISION. Good applications for not worshiping Man/Pope, etc. Powerpoint at website.

    The Living God Acts 14:1-19 Powerpoint at: http://www.gbcdecatur.org/sermons/LivingGod.html We just celebrated Easter and how one claiming to be God proved it by rising again from the dead.

    based on 41 ratings
     | 2,619 views

    Even though many disciples relished the privilege to preach in the name of Jesus, persecution caused many to quit. They thrived on the sense of power as they spoke with the enabling of the Holy Spirit, but disliked the opposition they encountered.

    Taking the Pleasant With the Unpleasant (Acts 14:1-8) 1. Why do you think some people grow tired of their jobs? Every job has its so called good and bad points. Yet, some aspects of service are not always considered as important as less enjoyable aspects. Even though many disciples relished the ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,247 views

    Apostolic Christianity is opportunity driven.

    Do verses 2-3 make sense to you? "But the Jews who spurned God’s message stirred up distrust among the Gentiles against Paul and Barnabas, saying all sorts of evil things about them..." At which point--based on prior patterns in the book of Acts, you’d expect Luke to say, "So they were let over ...read more

    What kind of Christian are you? God’s kindom is either growing or suffering because of your faith or lack thereof. Determine to serve as one who builds and blesses!

    I watched them tear a building down; A band of men in a busy town. With a `HO-HEAVE-HO’ and a lusty yell; They swung a beam and a sidewall fell. I asked the foreman, `Are these men skilled? And the men you’d hire if you had to build?’ He gave a laugh and said, `No indeed! Common labor is all I ...read more
