    To be a real success in life, we need to climb down the ladder of success, just as Jesus did when He humbled Himself. (this sermon uses a ladder on the stage)

    Up and Down the Ladder Philippians 2:1-11 January 20, 2013 (this sermon uses a ladder on stage. This is not an original idea, but I can't recall where I heard of this.)

    The success of a pastor cannot be fully measured until after his departure. If he has equipped the church to continue in his absence, then his ministry will have been successful.

    A unanimous apostolic plan that went awry, Jewish rumors, gentile riots, and an apostle getting a ride on Roman soldiers. The purpose of the Christian life is not to avoid problems; indeed, God can sometimes use our problems to further His plans.
