    Benefits Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,401 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    Never underestimate the value of your supporting role. Leadership is a lonely road at best, it is better when you know someone has got your back! Cover your leaders when they are most vulnerable.

    Sermon – Who’s Got My Back? Somebody Cover me! Text: Acts 14:19-24 “Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the ...read more

    So we’ve gone from Jesus Christ, alive from the dead, commanding his rag tag band of followers to make disciples of the whole world. They set out to do that in Jerusalem but faced severe persecution.

    So we’ve gone from Jesus Christ, alive from the dead, commanding his rag tag band of followers to make disciples of the whole world. They set out to do that in Jerusalem but faced severe persecution. So they fled off into the roman empire preaching the gospel wherever they went. Peter, Philip, and ...read more

    Let’s live on mission even when ministry is messy.

    I attended a church last weekend which was filled with praise, preaching, and prayer. I liked it so much I’m going to start attending there. Perhaps you’ve heard of it…it’s called Edgewood. Because I haven’t been here for a while, on Thursday, some of the SecondWinders asked me to introduce ...read more

    What Does the Bible Say About Fasting?

    Matthew 6:16-18 And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by ...read more

     | 5,118 views

    We see God's grace at work through Paul and Barnabas in Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. God is in the journey, in the tribulations and in the ordinary. We can trust in the sovereignty of God for the salvation of the lost.

    Good morning, everyone. Let us pray. We praise you, dear God, with all our hearts. We praise you for WHO you are and for WHAT you’ve done. Thank you, Lord for your presence in our lives. Forgive us for the times we have turned from Your ways and returned to call on you only when we are in ...read more

    Persevere Even If It Gets Hard

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 8, 2020
     | 10,995 views

    Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

    I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

     | 1,714 views

    You cannot find where we are promised prosperity, but you will find many places where we are promised tribulation and persecution.

    Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed ...read more

     | 2,577 views

    Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. But we can take courage from the examples of Jesus and St. Paul.

    Tuesday of the 5th Week of Easter 2020 Today’s tale from the Acts of the Apostles needs some back-story for those who weren’t at Mass yesterday. The scene is Lystra, a village in southern Anatolia, sometime in the year 48, about 15 years after the Resurrection. It was part of the Roman province of ...read more

    Are we at peace during the time of our suffering and difficulties? Are we at peace during this pandemic Covid-19?

    Reflection Today, as we read in the first reading (Acts 14:19-28), we hear that early Christian community was persecuted for following the way of Jesus. At the same time, they could go around without the fear of persecution, day by day strengthening their faith in Jesus. How could they do ...read more

    The Depravity Of Man Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 6, 2021
     | 4,248 views

    Men suppress the truth about God and lost their only true bearings in life, become futile in their thinking and darkened in their hearts. The result is ungodliness and unrighteousness.

    Why do we need the Gospel? Why do we need Jesus to save us? What’s wrong with us? Why the need to be rescued in the first place? • These are important questions because unless we understand our plight, we will not appreciate the Gospel. It won’t be good news to us. • Jesus: "It is not the ...read more

    The glitter of the "General's" stars are blinding others from seeing their place in the kingdom.

    In this generation everyone wants to be a general in God’s army. Prophecies abound that tell people they will be rich and finance the Kingdom. They will have a worldwide dynamic ministry. They will win thousands to the Lord and so on. No one seems to get a prophetic mission to be a good ...read more
