    No matter what your need is... there's no length that God is not willing to go to...to not only meet, but exceed far beyond your wildest expectations if you are willing to dare to believe He can do what He says He can do....

    Dare to Believe Illus. By John Raulerson A guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the mutt replies. ...read more

    Inviting others means that we must be willing to tell them the truth. If we aren't willing to tell them about Jesus, how can we ever invite them to experience all that He has for them?

    An Invitation Requires Truth Acts 16:25-34 Invitations, Part 6 Introduction - It is important that you and I understand the power of an invitation -- Whether it’s an invitation to a ballgame, to a BBQ, or even to church -- Everything we do starts with an invitation to be a part of ...read more

    Only Jesus can make a jailhouse rock as he puts a song in Paul's heart and a spring in the jailer's step.

    In a 1957 movie, Elvis Presley made prison look like a rip roarin’ time when he sang “Jailhouse Rock.” The truth is Jesus made a jailhouse rock long before Elvis did and it was no staged production. It was a real-life event punctuated by an earthquake, a jail break, and a midnight ...read more

    God leads. God leads us to where He wants us to be. Therefore watch where you are, and be the instrument that God can use to accomplish His purposes.

    1. God LEADS… are we following? Paul has chosen Silas as his partner for the 2nd missionary journey. He also took Timothy along this time. • Something interesting happens in 16:6. They were in the region of PHRYGIA but they were ‘kept by the Holy Spirit’ from moving into ...read more

    Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

     | 14,674 views

    Every morning and every evening the head of a Jewish household would pray, giving thanks that God had not created him “a Gentile, a woman or a slave.” It hardly seems coincidental that the first three conversions which take place at Philippi, come from those three despised categories.

    BELIEF and BAPTISM Acts 16:22-33 Today we are celebrating the sacrament of baptism.

    Where Is Our Focus?

     | 4,535 views

    Life is never going to be easy, so sharing the Gospel will not be easy work! Jesus taught us this, the Disciples knew this as truth, so when it comes to sharing Christ will we submit to Him or still remain focused on ourselves?

    Where is our Focus? Acts 16:16-40 Introduction The Christian brothers and sisters at Antioch had good reason to rejoice -- They had been at the center of a great controversy; and stood firm in it -- The controversy? Answering, “What must we do to be saved?” Two weeks: We ...read more

    The Question And The Only Right Answer To It

    Contributed by David Mcnally on May 5, 2014
     | 3,858 views

    The question which the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas 2,000 years ago is still relevant today and we have to encourage people to ask it, and no matter how 'diverse' or 'multi-cultural' our society is, there is only one correct answer to it.

    Psalm 34:1-9 and 17-22 (all) emphasize v.22 Acts 16: 16-34 Sermon: What must I do to be Saved? There's only one answer to that question. “Saved”. A little 5-letter word usually being the past tense of the verb “save” which means 'set free' or 'rescue'. In ...read more

    A jailer's life was transformed through an encounter with Paul and Silas who remained faithful to Christ even while in a Philippian prison.

    We are all familiar with the concept of “jailhouse transformations,” that phenomenon associated with a prisoner whose life is “miraculously” transformed, but only after they get to prison. We recall the “jailhouse” transformation of the likes of Ted Bundy and ...read more
