    Lesson 3: Don't Confuse The World's Values With God's Series

     | 8,396 views

    In today's politically correct world it seems more and more Christians are swallowing some pretty bad stuff in order to 'get along.' The culture pushes back to get us to conform to the values of our culture. Paul comes against that and says you should thi

    In lesson three Paul takes aim, not at superstar pastors, but the philosophies and values of the world around us. The Corinthians were very much in the middle of a culture that valued philosophy and discussion as a way to arrive at truth. Paul's time before the Areopagus in Acts 17 was like that, ...read more

    Remember My Chains Series

     | 6,460 views

    Like some of Paul’s companions in prison, we may be held back by tasks too small, by shame, or even by our own prejudices. But once we accept our limitations as part of God’s will, they become ways to help others and fulfill our life callings.

    If you suffer severe limitations, what do you wish for? What is your prayer, if you are bound by something that keeps you from doing what you really want to do? Do you wish you could be free from it? Likely you do. Do you even pray that you might have that limitation removed? I expect that I ...read more

    Paul on Mars hill preaching about the "Unknown God"

    God knows a lot of people, as a matter of fact God knows everyone. But how many KNOW GOD? The Setting – Acts 17:16-21 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. • The Whole city was given to Idolatry • Some say ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,614 views

    Conflict is fundamentally spiritual, not just interpersonal, founded in insecurity and elusive. But persistence in prayer will ultimately provide peace.

    When Jesus spoke of those who cry, “Peace, peace” when there is no peace, He must have foreseen the pain of the present time. Never before in human history, I would suspect, have more people felt less peace than now. Everywhere you turn there is the evidence of a generation which is deeply ...read more

    Apart from Christ, there can be no peace.

    Peace In Christ Text: Eph. 2:11-22 Introduction 1. There are a lot of differing opinions as to what brings peace. 2.

    Extraordinary Ambition Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,151 views

    About how Paul’s understanding of ambition challenges our own ambitions.

    Begin with question: Are you an ambitious person? (or What do you think of when you think of ambition?) May cause some mixed feelings… because the idea of ambition conjure up and capture very different things. Ambition isn’t something we have to be taught… • Don’t have to put ambition in ...read more

    Paul was able to really assess all he had put confidence in… concludes that knowing Christ who holds the power of eternal risen life… and even to share in his sufferings as part of knowing him… was the greatest purpose and pleasure life offered.

    What is at the center of your life? Hard question to answer… some of us may be honestly divided … some of us may know what we believe should be… but the longer we reflect on the question…. The more we realize that we may not be as centered as we’d like to believe. Show me a centered life… and ...read more

     | 3,983 views

    How did Paul’s life change after He was saved? Paul said he was a pattern to those who would be saved after him, so I believe we can look at what happened to Paul and learn a lot. After you become a Christian, what can you expect?

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Feb 12, 2013
     | 6,533 views

    The apostle Paul had to go through a “waiting” time period. After fleeing Jerusalem in Acts 9:30, Paul was sent to his hometown of Tarsus. Why did Paul have to wait patiently in Tarsus? What was God’s purpose?

    Waiting on the Lord in Tarsus (Part 2) Acts 10 Introduction: 1. One of the hardest things in life to do is to wait. Our fleshly human nature despises waiting. 2. Yet, waiting is a vital part of the Christian life. Over and over again we see examples of this in the Bible. Here are just a ...read more

    What does the common life look like? Exhausted. Worried. Stressed. Angry. Hopeless. Surviving. We’ve got issues. We’ve got problems. How is common working out for you?
