    The message of the preacher blessed by God will disturb the casual, even as it glorifies the Master. Contrary to every expectation, the message presented by the servants of the devil is boring, generating no excitement and no reaction.

    Third in a patriotic sermon series.

    Paul and Silas were ministering in the city of Philippi when trouble befell them. It seems that the work they were doing was perceived by some to be a threat to their business, so they had them arrested, flogged, and imprisoned.

    The praise and worship that we bring to God in spirit and truth will surely move the natural, physical and spiritual realms so that it brings glory to God.

    Opening illustration: While worshiping with our mentors in Tharmaid during a meeting at an underground church, we encounter a woman who was possessed with an evil spirit. What transpired during the worship time was a powerful move of God’s deliverance for that woman. Introduction: Some strange ...read more

    We are called to turn the world upside down, as revolutionaries. But our energies dissipate and we become frightened. Let us look to the one who did not flinch from His mission.

    The winter of 1780 and 1781 had looked bleak indeed for the American cause.

    Are we able to rejoice, even when the times get rough? Or does our faith depend on everything “going our way?” There is a cotton-candy like view of Christianity that promises all health and wealth, but it melts away when reality strikes.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Freedom in a Prison Cell” There is a lot to be learned from the example of Christians who live in third-world countries, and don’t have the freedom we might often take for granted. Will Willimon tells the story of a Bishop from Angola who came to visit America a ...read more
