    Have you ever been in a midnight moment? Paul and Silas were in such a moment—but what did they do? They didn’t complain. They didn’t curse. They didn’t quit. They sang. Trust Christ even when the prison doors haven’t yet opened. And God responded with a miracle.

    Go! And Sing in the Storm - Acts 16:25–26 (NLT) Acts 16:25–26 (NLT): “Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

    How wonderful it would be if Christians today would live in such a way that God Himself would “show off” His approval of us by manifesting His Divine Power in our lives as He did in the life of Jesus Christ! I believe that it is His will to do so in thes

    There are many "self-help" books about how we can have a successful church, but Titus is one of the few divinely inspired books telling us how to do this. What are three of the basic principles a church needs to observe to be successful in God’s eyes?

    OPEN: Several years back, John Brodie, a former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was used by his team to hold the ball for field goals and extra points after the touchdown.

    When we obey God, it does not mean everything will be fine, but it does mean God will see us through. Obedience is a choice we make. Be prepare to pay a price but it’s worth it. God will do His part; there is a divine partnership in obedience. Obedience

    There is a similarity between this incident and that of Acts 4. • But this time it’s not just Peter and John being arrested, the whole group of the apostles were arrested for preaching the gospel. • Once again they make it clear that the necessity of their lives is to obey God, not men; therefore ...read more

    Knowing He was hours from being murdered, Jesus could have used His divine privilege to get out of what was coming, but He didn’t. His prayer in the garden teaches us how to pray in the midst of hardship and how to deal with unanswered prayer.
