The Mighty Name Of Jesus Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

The name of Jesus is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare; however, His name must not be taken lightly or used inappropriately. Also, Jesus promised to be present in power among His followers whenever they acted in His name.

When we speak the precious and powerful name of Jesus, it’s not a magic word. We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles # 27 - 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

Sermon On Advocate Or Protagonist?

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021

Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more

Superstition Or Faith? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2020

Biblical Christianity is superior to magic and superstition. Yet we need to rout our superstition in our own lives, too. Biblical faith has no room for superstition.

Superstition or Faith? (Acts 19:11-20) 1. I think it is bad luck to believe in superstition. That’s a joke. “The number 13, black cats, breaking mirrors, or walking under ladders, may all be things you actively avoid – if you’re anything like the 25% of people in the US who consider themselves ...read more

Evil spirits have affected people for many years. A group of seven men, claiming to have power to cast out demons, came to Ephesus and got a lot more than they bargained for! Then look at what happened next.

Introduction: This episode took place after Paul had begun a healing ministry, sending aprons or handkerchiefs to people who needed them (Acts 19:11-12).
