     | 7,482 views

    No one, not a single person in this story expects Peter to be released. Not Herod, not the guards, not the people of the church, not even Peter himself. Still, God answers the prayer.

     | 8,155 views

    “He made a proclamation and God gave him what he asked for!" Doesn't say when God blessed him, or how God blessed him, the main thing it says loud and clear, “GOD BLESSED HIM!”

    God's Scandalous Favor, “Our Supernatural Advantage!” There are very few things in life that give humanity an advantage. Speaking for only myself, when I have come across anything good that gave me an advantage in life, I have both clung to and respected whomever, or whatever was willing to help ...read more

    In this sermon, we focus primarily on God's commands in Ephesians 5. I have leaned heavily on material from David Platt's book Counter Culture, chapter 6, and also three sermons from John Piper on marital roles.
