Jesus’ Jailhouse Rock

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jan 4, 2015

Only Jesus can make a jailhouse rock as he puts a song in Paul's heart and a spring in the jailer's step.

In a 1957 movie, Elvis Presley made prison look like a rip roarin’ time when he sang “Jailhouse Rock.” The truth is Jesus made a jailhouse rock long before Elvis did and it was no staged production. It was a real-life event punctuated by an earthquake, a jail break, and a midnight ...read more

Present And Prevent: In View Of The Lord’s Mercies

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023

Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 19:21-41

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 1, 2023

The loss of one's livelihood might well cause normal people to do some strange things. When Paul was in Ephesus, one man's speech to his co-workers led to a riot! How it started and ended is strange indeed.
