     | 1,835 views

    Paul and the other apostles refused to obey commands from people in authority to stop preaching the gospel, for instance (Acts 5:27–29). They did, however, submit to those in authority in all matters that were not in contradiction to the will of God.

    to hear God we have to tune into God and this means being where God is at.

    Imagine a dozen radios all on different stations, playing at the same time. What image comes to mind? Mind numbing noise, mass confusion or perhaps the inability to think clearly, well you’d probably be right. Now imaging trying to listen for your favorite song in the mix of noise.

    No matter how bad your storm may be, if you plan on surviving through it, you have to stay in the ship of Jesus Christ.

    Acts 27:30 Topic: If you want to survive the storm, you must stay in the ship As we look around in our country today, as we watch the six o’clock news, or the CNN Network, or read the newspaper at home, make no doubt about it, we see ourselves in a storm.

    Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Literally "unto eternity." Peter grasped that complicity in this act involved acceptance of a radical reinterpretation of his own life-world and ours!

    Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Literally "unto eternity." Peter grasped that complicity in this act involved acceptance of a radical reinterpretation of his own life-world, a genuine conversion of some kind which he was not prepared to undergo.

    What’s so persuasive about the Gospel of Christ? It depends on who’s telling it. Those that live it can tell it with power.

    Almost Persuaded There were seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia. They had been on a 16 day mission and were just 16 minutes from landing. They were almost home. Almost.

    The Most Overlooked Key To Church Growth Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 24,431 views

    Acts 6 tells us that after the church met the needs of its widows, the "disciples multiplied greatly". What caused this dramatic explosion of growth and what can we learn from that?

    Back in the 17th Century, there was a German preacher named August Francke. He had seen the homeless children in his city and was so moved by their living conditions that he decided to found an orphanage for them. But as is often the case with such ministries, money was always tight, and he ...read more

    I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,220 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    They Believed In Spirit-Filled Preaching.

    Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,233 views

    I think it’s interesting that not until Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit that he began to preach. No preacher, should ever seek to preach without having been filled with the Holy Spirit.

    “They Believed in Spirit-Filled Preaching” Acts 2:14-41 In the last message from Acts we saw that the Apostles and first church believed in the Holy Spirit. They had waited for what the Father had promised, the indwelling and infilling of the Holy Spirit. There was no way they could ...read more
