    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

    They way you worship affects the way you live and the lives of others.

    Do you like to worship the Lord? For those who can carry a tune the answer is probably a solid yes. For those who can’t you know that you are supposed to anyhow. I have heard it said that worship is acknowledging God for who He is and praise is acknowledging Him for what He has done. For many ...read more

    Have you ever had "one of those days?"

    ACTS 16:16Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most ...read more

    As Paul and his team went out into a dark world, it was no surprise that there were times when the light came smack up against the darkness. These "power encounters" are inevitable. How do we handle them?

    Passage: Acts 16:16-41 Intro: When we hear the word power, certain pictures come to mind. 1. huge guns, bombers, nuclear warheads. 2. human beings are obsessed with power, we love to be the ones with more. 3. every Sunday in the Fall, teams walk onto the football field for a “power encounter,” to ...read more

    A sermon on how faith guides us if we just let it

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,148 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

    The story of Lydia, who responded to Paul’s leadership by being baptized.

    Choose Faith, Not Fear Acts 16:9-15 May 13, 2007 Mother’s Day Today is Mother’s Day. It is a day that we are all familiar with because we all have had mothers at one time or another.

    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
