    Do you ever get into a situation where you are trying to follow God’s will but things just don’t seem to work out? If so, you are in good company. Find out how the Lord used a pinball to guide Paul, and you!

    We’d love to get an email from God with our day all planned out but it doesn’t work that way. And so we seek God and move forward—only to run into road blocks and rivers and dead ends. So what gives? Does the fact that things don’t work out perfectly mean we don’t hear God or are somehow not ...read more

    we can have all the right tools but using them for wrong purposes. When we use the right tools for the right purpose, we have the power.

    Difference Makers have the RIGHT…. Acts 16:1-15 Do you know anyone who cannot sit still? They always have to be doing something. Even when sitting, their motor is running [leg shaking]! The Apostle Paul was like that…he always had to be preaching or witnessing or discipling or visiting. He could ...read more

    This continues in my series of expository messages through the book of Acts.

    What do you do when God says, “NO”? When you pray all the right prayers with all the right motives, as best you can tell? When you are certain you’re following the right direction, only to find the way blocked? When you feel certain that what you want is what God would want, only to find out ...read more

    Marks of an Effective Christ-Follower Acts 16:1-12 Intro: The world today is confused about what it means to be a Christian.

    Timothy’s father was a heathen, and he was teaching his son the ways of the Greeks. But Paul became his spiritual father and taught Timothy the ways of the Lord. Which father are you?

    But His Father Was a Greek By Pastor Jim May In the life of every child there are two people who, above all others in their lives, stand out as examples for them to follow.

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 12, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,123 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more

    This sermon looks at Pauls obedience as the Lord sought to direct him.

    When it comes to doing the will of God… Our intentions are not good enough. v.6 Here Paul and his companions clearly intended to go into Asia to preach the gospel. But intentions alone were not sufficient. Certainly their intentions were noble and even right but for whatever reason they were not ...read more
