    Taking the Pleasant With the Unpleasant (Acts 14:1-8) 1. Why do you think some people grow tired of their jobs? Every job has its so called good and bad points. Yet, some aspects of service are not always considered as important as less enjoyable aspects. Even though many disciples relished the ...read more

    Allowing God to explode our pre-conceived ideas.

    Fitting Truth Into Our Box I heard the story of a couple who married, over the years when the wife would prepare to cook a roast she would do as she had seen her mother do. She would cut off the small end of the roast. Years passed, and children were born. One day when the couple’s daughter was ...read more

    A Flame That Won't Be Quenched Series

    Despite the growing opposition to the gospel, Paul and Barnabas never stopped preachign the gospel, even at therisk of their lives. They also give a good example of mission strategy.

    If you were here two weeks ago you’ll remember how, when Paul and Barnabas got to Pisidian Antioch they first went to the synagogue to speak about Jesus as the promised Messiah, but then when their message was rejected by the Jews they turned to the Gentiles. And the Gentiles gladly received this ...read more

    Attributes To Admire Series

    Contributed by Rich Dunbar on Jun 14, 2005
    based on 28 ratings
     | 6,903 views

    This sermon identifies four attributes worth admiration in Paul and Barnabas. These same attributes ought to be present in us as fathers.

    Admiration is an interesting thing. The dictionary defines it as “a feeling of pleasure, wonder and approval”. I think that most men want their children to admire them in one sense or another. I mean I want my children to take pleasure in me as their father, I want them to have a sense of wonder ...read more

    Staying Power Series

    based on 19 ratings

    Apostolic Christianity is opportunity driven.

    Do verses 2-3 make sense to you? "But the Jews who spurned God’s message stirred up distrust among the Gentiles against Paul and Barnabas, saying all sorts of evil things about them..." At which point--based on prior patterns in the book of Acts, you’d expect Luke to say, "So they were let over ...read more

    What Does Faith Look Like?

    Contributed by Joe Jones on Feb 26, 2001
    based on 218 ratings
     | 19,692 views

    Is it possible to see faith? If we can recognize it, perhaps it may be easier to walk in it!

    WHAT DOES FAITH LOOK LIKE? Acts 14:9 “Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, Stand up on your feet!. At that the man jumped up and began to walk.” Faith is perhaps one, if not the, most important element necessary to grow in the Christian walk. Goerge ...read more

     | 3,197 views

    Even though many disciples relished the privilege to preach in the name of Jesus, persecution caused many to quit. They thrived on the sense of power as they spoke with the enabling of the Holy Spirit, but disliked the opposition they encountered.

    Overcoming Barriers To The Good News Series

    With God’s help, we can learn to naturally and effectively share His love with others.

    Overcoming Barriers to the Good News Acts 14:1-18 Intro: Many Christians believe that they are supposed to share the good news about Jesus with other people who do not know God yet. I would guess that most if not all of the Christian here today have at least some desire to do that. However, most ...read more

    Paul and Barnabas. Through this narrative these two servants of God manifest examples of seven qualities that make for effective spiritual ministry.

    Qualities of an Effective Servant Acts 14:1-28 Intro Admittedly this lengthy narrative passage contains no explicit teaching on God’s requirements for effective service. It does, however, present two highly qualified and effective servants who modeled the qualifications necessary for all who ...read more

     | 17,354 views

    From our text, let’s think about how to win some people to Christ. 1- Speak effectively 2- Give people time 3- Discern those with faith

    INTRO.- ILL.- A conversation took place between a rabbi, a preacher and a priest. They talked about how each of them celebrated Christmas.

    From this text, let’s think about what we "humans" can do in life and the proper attitude we should have. 1- We must do good 2- We must be humble 3- We must expect some opposition

    INTRO.- ILL.- There was a preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he got, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was his obsession. One Sunday was a picture-perfect day for golf. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right. The preacher was ...read more

    This sermon is to remind us that people can praise our work one moment, then persecute us the next.

    FROM PRAISE TO PERSECUTION Acts 14:8-20 As we looked at these very scriptures on last week, it was moved in my spirit that the Lord was not through with the text. Last week we saw these great men of God taking the gospel message into the cities of Derby and Lystra. ...read more
