    This sermon looks at Pauls obedience as the Lord sought to direct him.

    When it comes to doing the will of God… Our intentions are not good enough. v.6 Here Paul and his companions clearly intended to go into Asia to preach the gospel.

    Sometimes our disappointments in life can become God’s appointments, so don’t let closed doors bother you. The things we think of as failures and problems can often end up being blessings in disguise.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more
