Sermons on Paul At Malta:

In Peter's Shoes

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Apr 18, 2010

A Sermon for the 3rd Sunday in Easter, preached 4/18/2010 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Big Cove Tannery, St. Paul Lutheran Church, McConnellsburg, and Mt. Zion, Little Cove. It talks about how Jesus both forgives and restores Peter and us.

You have probably heard the saying “you never truly understand someone unless you walk a mile in his or her shoes.” As I was thinking about how to approach this sermon this morning, the easiest way I thought I could do this was to have you put yourself into someone’s shoes in ...read more

Sin: The Struggle, The Revelation

Contributed by Lee Hammond Houston Jr. on Jan 31, 2021

Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Even the Apostle Paul was one of the “all have sinned.” Only Christ was without sin. Paul sometimes disappointed people, sometimes made mistakes, and sometimes just plain messed up.

Sin: the Struggle, the Revelation Our scripture today is Romans 7:14-8:4. I am breaking it in half, for in the first half Paul writes like a frustrated man, but in the second half Paul reveals a wonderful revelation. Listen to how disturbed Paul is in this first half, Romans 7:14-24. "14 ...read more

Do Not Lose Heart

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 28, 2021

From part of Paul’s letter to the church of Corinth we learn that it is through our participation in Christ’s death and resurrection and by focusing on things unseen and our eternal destination that our inner person is renewed day by day with divine strength needed to love God and one another!

Peter’s Hypocrisy Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 17, 2018

When Paul visited Jerusalem, Peter (and others) gave him the “right hand of fellowship”; but when Peter visited Antioch, Paul “opposed him to his face.” Peter’s conduct in Antioch produced a tense face-to-face confrontation between two Christian leaders.

Satan’s Hindrance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul was no pessimist. He was hindered by Satan, but he never sat down and gave up. He didn’t get to do what he wanted, but Paul rejoiced in spite of his frustration because in spite of the hindrance he had perfect confidence that ultimate victory would be his.

Children are constantly coming up with that profound argument that they feel is an infallible guide to what ought to be-“But I wanna.” I remember explaining to Steven one time that we don’t always get to do what we want, and Cindy felt that was good advice. So the next time he was refused and ...read more

No Life On Mars

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2023

When Paul went to "Mars" Hill in Athens he found no spiritual life there. Though Greece had made a great contribution to the world's philosophy and thought, it's offering for salvation was empty. But there was life on Mars when Paul left!

NO LIFE ON MARS Acts 17:22-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1.

Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026

As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.

The Acts Factor - Sharing The Light Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 27, 2008

Paul was plunged into darkness and given sight when Ananias placed hands upon him. Every Christian has the ability to bring people out darkness... but how do we do it?

But the light in the pantry was out and he didn’t really want to go in there. "It’s dark in there and I’m scared" he said. She asked again ...read more

Psalm 34:9-11 - Part 4 - A Deeper Study Of Verses 9-11 – What Does It Mean Not To Be In Want Of Any Good Thing? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025

We shall not want any good thing God tells us but what does it mean? Are we looking at material or spiritual or both? Not in want of any good thing! We open up “seeking the Lord,” and “the fear of the Lord.” Never be irreverent or casual in the Lord’s presence as some do. It is disrespectful.
