    Focusing on the power of prayer and what the disciples may have missed out on in the Garden of Gethsemane.

    LUKE 22:39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, Luke assumes his readers knew that “the place” was the garden of Gethsemane. Why is that? Probably the same reason he added “as usual” to the fact that ...read more

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) As disciples we are all Christian leaders. That’s a concept we may not all be comfortable with. We ...read more

    This is an adaptation of a Fred Craddock Sermon. We must guard against being exclusive in our approach to evangelism and the church.

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -- Martin Luther King, Jr. * They knew it was going to be a rough meeting because: Controversy was high. * It was going to be confrontational -- ...read more

    God has a great story He wants us to join.

    Facing obstacles to sharing the gospel is common, but God will find listeners who learn to live for Jesus. When one door closes he opens another.

    Here in Acts 28:16-28 Paul explains himself, the gospel and their rejection of it. Why I’m wearing these chains. Why Jesus is the Christ.
