Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

The Mystery of Providence and the Majesty of Peace Acts 12:1-25 They say there’s two side to every story but my baby sister will tell you there’s three. There is your side, my side and the truth. When we look at Acts chapter 12 there seems to be 3 sides to this story as well. What we ...read more

All Your Anxieties?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 5, 2011

God is able to deal with all of our anxieties, not just a portion. He can relieve us of our fears for those things which will not really happen; for our concern for daily survival; and most of all, for our fear of death.

I Feel Like My Hair Is Growing Back

Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Jun 7, 2008

When Samson’s hair was cut he lost his power, the Spirit of God left him. However when his hair grew back and he returned to God his power came back. If we fail God and return our spiritual power returns.

Sermon: God's Promise Of Victory Is Sure! Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 25, 2022

The nation of Israel would suffer but a remnant would be saved. God is merciful even in judgment. Assyria would be judged and pay a high penalty for her ill treatment of Israel. Isaiah proclaims a promise of victory.

Isaiah 10:24-27 “So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: “O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago. 25 In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022

As the body of Christ today, sometimes we feel like the 300 at Thermopylae don’t we? It often seems like the darkness is closing in on all sides, particularly in the west. New forms of evil on every side seem to grow and spread like locusts

“The east was on a collision course with the west in 480 BC. The world watched in awe as the largest army in history poured into Europe.

The Year 2000 And Christ's Return

Contributed by Shane Williams on Oct 18, 2000

The Weak Strong Man 10

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Jul 20, 2005

It is odd when you get to thinking about the Philistines and Samson. They knew his weakness but did not know what gave him great strength. His weakness of course was women.

The weak strong man 10. Judges 16:4-21. 07/20/05 These last two studies in the life of Samson are dark scenes and a great warning of the danger in walking after the lust of the flesh. Samson’s disregard of the call of God in his life has led him down the street of dead end and no turning back. ...read more
