    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

    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

    Have you ever had "one of those days?" One of those days; when there was a hint that things were not going to go well? One of those days when one bad thing after another seems to hit you?

    During our New Testament reading ... we heard a story concerning Paul's adventure ... in Greece. Paul and Silas were on a missionary journey ... in the area of Philippi ... and initially things seemed to be going ... pretty well. One day, however, ... things began to change.

    The message of the gospel is simple. We accept and communicate the Gospel when we take God seriously.

    Intro: The book of Acts is the history book of the church. It was written by a Dr and Historian name Luke. Luke was one of Paul’s many missionary apprentices. This is a record of the early church taking seriously the words of Jesus. You will receive power to become my witnesses in ...read more

    Paul and Silas lovingly and boldly ministered to the needs of the people they encountered. As a result of their endeavors people's lives were changed, but Paul and Silas were imprisoned. Serving Jesus often involves struggles and setbacks.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Bad Things Happen to Faithful People” INTRODUCTION Power comes in many shapes and forms. There is the raw horrendous power of an atomic explosion. In contrast to such power is the group power of civil disobedience, which we witnessed in Gandhi’s fight for ...read more

    This is an idea I received while listening to a cassette of Bro. Bob Harrington "The Chaplain of Bourbon Street" He is a dynamic speaker and a great man of God.

    There are some who do not completely understand the joy we have in being Christians. A lot of people are like a little boy who went to see his grandfather…. My friends, God did not save us to let us sit and sour. He expects us too be an example to a lost and dying world of His love. Too many times, ...read more
