    The Lord slowly moved Saul from enemy of the gospel to Paul, a full-fledged missionary with a message to the Gentiles. How does God move us out into ministry for Him? Learn some lessons from Paul and Barnabas.

    As we’ve talked about through our study in the book of Acts, this is the story of the resurrected Jesus, working through his body to bring the gospel into the world. As the effort grows, so the attacks of Satan to thwart it morph and change. It’s like the enemy is trying to find a loophole that ...read more

     | 6,273 views

    When faced with adversity, our tendency is to panic, take our hands off the wheel, and just let it happen to us. We see in the example of Paul and Barnabas that God is in control no matter what happens and that as long as you can share the gospel you can

    Introduction I took a course on defensive driving some time ago. The instructor said the most important concept to remember is to keep driving until you can’t any more. What he meant is that when faced with a crisis on the road we have a natural tendency to freak out and take our hands off the ...read more

    Sometimes it may seem that God doesn’t hear us but God does care for His children and His delay may be an opportunity to increase our faith

    Introduction: Many times, we have things in our lives and we do not know why things seem to be delayed. We have definite needs, and God seems to wait. Even in times that we do not understand, we must always remember that God=s clock always keeps perfect time. Why does God seemingly at times, ...read more

    Whether your dispute is with another believer or with a whole church, there are vital lessons to handling conflict contained in Acts 15. Learn how to find God’s will, keep your integrity, and still be a family.

    Raise your hand if you have ever had a dispute with another Christian. Hopefully we all raised our hands because if we have never had a dispute then we are not really actively plugged into the body life in Jesus. Disputes occur for a number of reasons, some good, some bad. Often disputes come from ...read more

    Struggles to understand the truth of the gospel are not new. The early church record reveals how they also faced and overcame crisis moments.

If we study carefully this account we see several principles for facing and dealing with issues that can help us today. First let’s read some background, then we ...read more
