    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

     | 6,287 views

    In Peter’s life story we have the record of three times when he was off guard, relaxed, asleep. On each occasion there was something that he did not know.

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t ...read more

    We need to be convinced of the NEED to pray, understand the POWER of prayer, seize the OPPORTUNITY to pray and have FAITH in God when we pray.

    In the book of Acts, we see a common sight – the church at prayer. • Not a few disciples, but the whole community of believers praying together • This was a unique sight, because in the Gospel we hardly read of the disciples gathering to pray. • We saw Jesus praying alone, most of the time. And ...read more

     | 3,332 views

    Acts 12 is a scenario filled with murders – arrests – jail breaks – miracles – humor – and judgment. The chapter reveals that God is in charge not kings or presidents of nations. The text reveals that God responds to prayer and God judges sin.
