    WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH ... the Felix' of this world PROCRASTINATE!

    The Unfinished Sermon Acts 24:24—27 Intro. I really feel for Paul as a preacher. His sermon was really on a roll. Want to hit the pulpit and shout "Amen" Then, all the sudden, Felix pulls the plug. "That's enough for now, if I have time later I'll hear more. Don't call me, I'll call ...read more

    Encouraging Dads To Tell Their Story Series

     | 2,146 views

    You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

    Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

    Delusions That Defy Common Sense

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 16, 2021
     | 2,164 views

    The world system and all who live by it apart are deluded by both the devil and their own depraved minds. They believe they have everything figured out and can live without the intervention of God Almighty. Scripture proves otherwise.

    The apostle Paul told the church at Corinth that there is a time to put away childish things and assume the maturity and responsibility expected of an adult or mature young person (1 Corinthians 13:11). The time comes for everyone to grow up and realize that the world and all you know does not ...read more

    Paul Imprisoned Series

    It is painful to learn that religious people join hands with wicked rulers, leaders, and those in power. So-called religious leaders indeed go to any extreme to trouble the saints for their survival.

    Go Thy Way: He Waited For A Convenient Season Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 31, 2020
     | 3,487 views

    In this last message for this "Go thy way" series, Felix a Roman governor, talked with Paul about the Christian faith several times. He listened but told Paul "go thy way and I'll talk to you about this when I have the time". Sadly, he never found the time.

    Background: Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem, then taken to the Roman barracks (castle, KJV: Acts 21:34, 37, e.g.). Later Paul was sent to the seat of Roman government in Caesarea. He had been tried and accused of charges, serious at the time, but was declared neither guilty nor innocent. Paul ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 35 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,519 views

    In Acts twenty-four we find the apostle Paul is being held in custody as a common criminal, waiting for his accusers to arrive, and is to appear before Antonius Felix, the governor of Judaea.

    Felix was a politician in every sense of the word. He had risen from being a subservient person, to the position of Governor of Judaea. He got his start through the influence of his brother at the imperial court of Claudius. He married three Princesses, which also elevated his career. The first ...read more

    The Door Of Opportunity Can Be Missed

    Many people fail to properly respond to great opportunities waiting a convenient season. Today is the day of salvation. Seize the moment!

    Subject: "Opportunity Missed" Text: Acts 24:22-27 “At that point Felix, who was quite familiar with the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “Wait until Lysias, the garrison commander, arrives. Then I will decide the case.” He ordered an officer[d] to keep Paul in custody but to give ...read more

    Do not POSTPONE your response to the gospel. “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:7-8) TURN from your sin and TRUST in Jesus today!

    An Inconvenient Truth Acts 24’22-27 I’m preaching a message today I’ve entitled, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Some of you may recognize that title.

    Convicted, But Not Converted

    Felix was born a slave, but eventually worked his way up to Governor of Judea. He trembled under the power of the Holy Spirit, yet wasn't converted. Many today are close, but miss salvation.

    CONVICTED, BUT NOT CONVERTED Acts 24:22-27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Louie and his wife were listening to the radio when they heard the weather report: "A snow emergency has been declared. You must park your car's on the odd-numbered side of the street." So Louie got up and moved ...read more

    To decide to delay is to decide to deny.

    When I was around 10 years old, my grandma gave me a bunch of unused stamps and told me to hang on to them because they’d be worth a lot of money in the future. For the past 50 years I’ve known I had them in a file but never got around to checking on their value. Thinking this would make for a ...read more

    Dodging Decisions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,774 views

    What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

    Dodging Decisions (Acts 24:1-27) 1. So today we honor our graduates, and we honor our fathers. 2. I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree? Because it had been on her bucket list for a long ...read more

    Following Jesus Requires A Choice To Be Made Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 8, 2024
     | 503 views

    One question we must always ask is: Who do we follow? What is it in this world that we call Lord and why does it mean more to us than Him? Paul's testimony about who Jesus is is very clear - and we can learn so much from it in order to follow Jesus closer.

    To the Ends of the Earth, Part 36 Following Jesus requires a Choice to be Made Acts 24:20-27 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons Church & 2024 sermon series, “To the Ends of the Earth” -- Last week: Bro Will did an outstanding job proclaiming the truth Paul lived by -- Using question from ...read more
