Apparently, he and his friend had been playing in the living room and tossing around a football… when they broke a lamp.

     | 11,124 views

    Paul was taken on a voyage to Rome as a prisoner. He stood strong in the face of a terrible storm, because he has these anchors: (1) the anchor of God’s presence; (2) of God’s promise; (3) of God’s plan; (4) of God’s power.

    Paul and some other prisoners were taken on a voyage towards Rome. We’ll read about his experience in Acts 27:14-26; 33-44. Paul was a prisoner, but in this voyage through the storm, he stood out as a HERO. • Chains bound him, yet he was freed from fear or hopelessness. • The people were ...read more

    "Waiting For The Lord"

     | 7,952 views

    Waiting for the Lord constitutes an act of faith. This is not an easy proverb to follow since we are such activists. Like Job, we, too, need to learn that it is more important to trust God than to have answers to all our questions.

    "Waiting for the Lord" Psalms 37:34-40 Sept. 26, 2004 PM Icebreaker: When are you the most anxious? 34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. 35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green ...read more

    #9 in my Romans 8 - What a Way to Live! series. This says that God is on our side, and it’s His opinion of us that matters the most. There is victory in that truth.

The cardinal later wrote to the Pope, “The fool does not like gold.” The ...read more

    Where Are You Leading God’s People? 1) Into foolish boasting? 2) Into self-indulgent living? 3) Into danger of God’s judgment?

    I’m sure that everyone here has at one time or another played the game “follow the leader.” I remember it being a favourite for my classmates and me in grade one.
