     | 16,528 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    Jesus urges Paul to keep preaching in Corinth. Likewise Jesus wants us to keep telling others about him.

    “Silence is golden.” The mother who has just managed to get her toddler to sleep will agree with that statement. For a few peaceful hours there will be no shouts of “Mommy look!” or “Mommy I’m hungry!” Silence is also golden for the weary traveller who has ...read more

    Believe that your labour is never in vain. Ministry is an investment. Sow and expect to reap a harvest. Believe you are never left alone. Discouragement cannot defeat you unless you allow it.

    Paul was able to stand firm despite the oppositions and the difficulties he faced. • He experienced fatigue, frustrations, fears and failures but he did not give up. • Paul weathered through all these and stood firm. This is what we can learn from him. 1 Cor 15:58 “Therefore, my ...read more

    People, Jew and Gentile alike, needed to be part of something not just historic, but spiritually on fire, something with hope built-in.

    Friday of the Sixth week in Easter 2025 In a day when it feels like every judge in the country is finding actions by the executive or legislative branches to be unconstitutional, isn’t it refreshing to be introduced to the proconsul Gallio, down there in the region of Corinth.? “His father was ...read more

    Sometimes we don't see much visible fruit, or past attempts to witness or minister were not outwardly successful and tempted to hold back our witness or cut back our service. God's words to Paul Acts 18:5-11 are just the prescription.
