    based on 54 ratings
     | 22,830 views

    In our own lives, as well as in the life of the church, there are barriers to advancement, but they are nowhere near as difficult as our spiritual hindrances.

    When I entered junior high school, I was introduced to track and field games – to things like the 100-yard dash, relay races, and, most of all, the hurdles. As any red-blooded American boy would have done, I had done my share of running and climbing and bicycling and the like. But hurdles I had ...read more

    What Stands In The Way?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2004
    based on 49 ratings
     | 5,045 views

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    The Unhindered Good News Series

     | 9,560 views

    The primary hinderance to the Good News being taken to all the world is our willingness to share it.

    I’ve told you about Myrtie Howell in the past, but she is such a perfect example of what I want to talk about his morning that I want to remind you of her inspirational story. Myrtie was a deeply Christian lady, but she lived a tough life from the start. Her family was very poor, so when she was 10 ...read more

     | 7,883 views

    Facing obstacles to sharing the gospel is common, but God will find listeners who learn to live for Jesus. When one door closes he opens another.

    Here in Acts 28:16-28 Paul explains himself, the gospel and their rejection of it. Why I’m wearing these chains. Why Jesus is the Christ. Why do your hearts reject him, and where will God go from here. Jenny and I were walking along in the neighborhood a few weeks ago when we came across ...read more

    The early Church had a bad reputation which helped it grow and we should cultivate such a bad repputation in our time.

    The Blessing of a Bad Reputation Acts 28:22 INTRO.:Paul is in Rome facing trial for preaching Christ. While waiting for his hearing before Caesar, he is permitted to have guests and to communicate with others. He calls the leaders of the local synagogue to explain his side of the issues before the ...read more

    Here at the end of the book of Acts, we find Paul under house arrest, but still acting as a servant. What are the characteristics of such a servant?

    Passage: Acts 28:17-31 Intro: I heard on the radio the other day that Acts is not a book of theology, but rather a book of history. 1. I agree to a point. It is the record of the early church and what they did. 2. but at the same time, it is a record of the works of God, and so we can ...read more

    i. PRAYER ii. Introduction a.

    For Lent and for Black History Month, with a focus on Africa: the purposes of God will be accomplished, though not without difficulties and sacrifice. Examples of African Christians to show this truth.

    I cannot imagine how Paul did it. Here he is, in prison, chained to a soldier, and he is talking about hope and making plans for the future. How can anyone with half a brain do that? Does he not understand how perilous is his predicament? Chained! Awaiting trial! And yet he can say, “It is ...read more

    Paul - The Model Mailman

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Dec 9, 2007

     | 8,902 views

    Paul epitomizes the ideal scriptural mailman as it can be said, "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night can keep this courageous courier from the swift completion of his appointed task."

    Paul - The Ideal Mailman (Acts 28) Mitchell Kendall engraved this famous saying on the New York City post office, taken from Herodutus about the diligence of the Persian mailmen during the heat of their battles with the Greeks in 500 B.C.

    Paul safely escapes shipwreck only to have a snake come out of the fire and bite him. Instead of panicking or making a big show of how "bullet proof" he was, the Apostle simply goes about the business of serving God. It’s a great lesson for us when we fac

    Doesn’t it seem like something (or someone) didn’t want Paul to reach Rome? Angry mobs, corrupt leaders (both Israeli and Roman), then even the wind and waves seem to conspire to destroy Paul or crash him up against the rocks—anything to keep him from reaching God’s intended destination. But as ...read more
