    In zeal, many run off to find the will of God when it was right where they were when He called them.

    1 Cor 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. When people get saved they often want to make changes in their life that are not necessary or God's will. In context, new converts were considering changes like being circumcised or uncircumcised. They wanted ...read more

    Barnabas was perfectly willing to take backseat, to play second fiddle, and to stand in the shadows. He is truly one of the unsung heroes of the early church.

    The Unsung Hero Of The Early Church Acts 4:36-37 I never truly appreciated Barnabas, and his contributions to the church, and the cause of Christ until the last week. I am now convinced that Barnabas is the unsung hero of the early church. The first thing that you’ll notice about Barnabas ...read more

    Attributes To Admire Series

    Contributed by Rich Dunbar on Jun 14, 2005
    based on 28 ratings
     | 6,849 views

    This sermon identifies four attributes worth admiration in Paul and Barnabas. These same attributes ought to be present in us as fathers.

    Admiration is an interesting thing. The dictionary defines it as “a feeling of pleasure, wonder and approval”. I think that most men want their children to admire them in one sense or another. I mean I want my children to take pleasure in me as their father, I want them to have a sense of wonder ...read more

    The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

    OPEN: A 5-yr-old said grace at family dinner one night. "Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he finished his prayer, his parents looked curiously at him and asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were having chicken. He smiled and said, "I thought I’d see if He was ...read more

    As Paul, Barnabas, and Titus strolled down the streets of Jerusalem to meet with the Church leaders they were a living illustration of the diversity of the Body of Christ.

    Unity in Diversity Galatians 2:1-10 The Body of Christ is as diverse as the snowflakes that fall on the Colorado Mountains. In every corner of the globe you will find those who bow their knee to the King of all kings. When Christians gather across the planet you will find Chinese Christians ...read more
