The Jailer

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

The jailer’s decision was not any easy one. But despite the difficulties that lay ahead, he realized that the God who would bring him to those difficulties would also bring him through them.

Jobs were hard to come by. He was a grown man, with a wife and children to provide for. He had been an OK farmer when they lived in the country — even managed to put away a little money for them to live on after the move to the big city. But he had no marketable skills to speak of. He wasn’t ...read more

The story of Lydia gives us direction for the new believer.

She was a successful business woman, actually she was a successful business owner and that was virtually unheard of in the time and society she lived in. Remember this was 2000 years ago in a culture that was slightly male centered; actually it was very male centered. Females weren’t exactly ...read more

Choosing To Worship

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Mar 27, 2006

We live in a day when people love to worship only when the mood is right, the sun is shining, and everything is okay, but this is not biblical. We need to be a people of worship...no matter how we feel. We need to make a choice...

If I were to ask the question: why do we worship God? What answer would you give? Do we do it because He is good? Do we do it because He has blessed us? Do we do it only when the sun is out and we’re happy? This type of Christian thinking falls apart when things don’t go well. When you are feeling ...read more

God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

Contributed by Chris Surber on May 12, 2007

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

Paul's First Encounters With Europeans

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on May 14, 2007

On the second Missionary Journey, the Church in Philippi is birthed with pain and injustice. Yet God used that to birth his Church there

IC/NR 20-05-07 1. Introduction: I rather like the book of Acts, because it shows the Church in action, warts and all. It is a dynamic book, written as a sequel to Luke’s Gospel. And unlike Luke’s Gospel – we see Luke’s personal reminiscences appearing – in ...read more
