Do You Really Think This Covid Catastrophe Is The Worst? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 16, 2020

Listen to the Spirit saying in our hearts, “you think this is hard to bear? You have not yet begun to feel the effects of sin in your world.”

Tuesday of the 6th Week of Easter 2020 Most of the time we go about our lives without anything big troubling them. In fact, most days we could, if we wished, live our lives as if nothing will ever trouble them. The lack of huge events from outside our own will as we go from day to day means that ...read more

Everyday Prophets - Amos Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Jan 21, 2021

Amos was a shepherd who lived outside of Bethlehem. He also was a “dresser of sycamore trees” which no one knows the meaning. This was a prosperous time in Israel’s history, but they were morally bankrupt, worshipping the gods of weather, sex and war.

Celebrating God Everyday

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 23, 2022

Paul and Silas had been taken into bondage, thrown into the inner prison in Philippi. See what God did for these men, and what they did for Him, too.

The jailer had placed their feet in stocks and left them—Luke says nothing about a trial, examination, or anything Paul and Silas could do. These men did the best thing possible, by praying and ...read more

Earthquakes Examined Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The first thing I learned about earthquakes in the New Testament is that they can be completely positive with no harmful effects. Our text is a case in point. Paul and Silas are delivered from prison by the violent earthquake that opened all the doors.

It was in Santa Clara, California, in the summer of 1988 that Lavonne and I experienced our one and only earthquake. We were in a motel and the bed began to vibrate like it does when you put a quarter in the machine at the side of the bed. It only lasted a few seconds, but even that made ...read more

Trouble At Philippi.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 22, 2022

Diabolical opposition to the gospel.

TROUBLE AT PHILIPPI. Acts 16:16-34. One of the hazards of church planting is a problem of space: where and when to gather for worship. Of course, small groups can meet in our homes: but the very beginning of gospel work might, in suitable climates, take place outdoors (cf. Acts 16:13). But ...read more

At Midnight

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 3, 2022

Charles Spurgeon said, “Anyone can sing in the day. It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but the skillful singer is he who can sing when there is not a ray of light to read by.... Songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of men.”

Acts 16:19-28 NKJV “At Midnight” July 3, 2022 Minister Smith taught me in Hour of Power one Thursday afternoon about a man named Horatio Spafford: In the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 he lost everything they owned and made plans, to move to Europe.
