Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 30, 2023

Paul had just endured 3 years of imprisonment without trial, a two-week storm in a ship and then shipwreck, and having escaped, was bitten on the hand by a viper. What else could happen? It's time for Jesus to show up -- and He does, in a big way!

Forgetting What Lies Behind

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

It hurts when we realize our own failures; but when other people point them out it can be debilitating. This message looks at how Satan tries to hinder God’s people by holding their past over them, and how Paul was able to overcome.

Have you ever been led to step out in faith and tackle a mission that God placed on your heart? Maybe the Lord asked you to witness to a friend or coworker. Perhaps He asked you to tell a relative about the love of Jesus, or maybe He asked you to surrender to the call to preach or become a ...read more

I'm Still Standing
