    We can learn from Paul the importance of relying upon Jesus. We can rely on Him to provide us the life testimony that He desires to be put in front of His people at the appropriate time and place.

    Title: The Law, The Christian, and the World… Scripture: Acts 24 I would like to use some scripture to use as a sort of prelude to Acts 24.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,611 views

    God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. This is a short all-age appropriate talk using a story and the giving out of chocolates to help people think about the resources God wants them to use hilariously for him.

    On one occasion Jesus said: “Give; and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). God is so good to me. God is so generous. St Paul once wrote that ...read more

     | 21,332 views

    In a world of injustice, it is appropriate to pray a prayer of anguish; God gives us memories of His grace to sustain when He seems absent, and may force us to rock bottom so that we can heal fully.

    There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. People have felt from time immemorial that they were not being treated fairly.
