    We recognize Jesus Christ through the Scriptures, not through our expectations or desires.

    Have you ever lost something, but only to realize it was right there with you the whole entire time? I remember one time I was speaking to my wife on the phone—we were just talking about random things—when suddenly, I fell into a panic. I frantically started searching and told my wife, “Emily, I ...read more

    Paul must face some accusations.

    I THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2 THE MODEL SERVANT I. INTRODUCTION The model church requires a model pastor. Paul filled the role very well.

    Paul tells how he gave up his right of material support for the sake of the gospel.

    In chapter 8 Paul told the Corinthians that they should not to eat in the pagan temples. (That was a common practice in Corinth. Eating in a temple was sort of like going to a restaurant today.) One thing Paul knows about the Corinthians is that many of them are questioning whether he is a real ...read more

    There were all kinds of people at the Cross. What distinguished these groups of people? The condition of their souls, their spiritual heart attitudes. Around the Cross of Jesus, we can see people who demonstrated some contrasting heart conditions.

    People At The Cross (Matt. 27:36-44, Luke 23:39-43, John 19:25-27) 1. A father and daughter we walking through a spacious prairie. 2. In the distance, they could see fire all around them.

    The Bible promises us that life will be tough. This message deals with Paul & Silas in prison, and how God brought them through ... just like He can bring you through.

    “There’s Victory In Jesus” Acts 16:25-34 INTRODUCTION: The last few weeks haven’t been easy for most of us … we have been through, and survived 2 hurricanes. For SOME of us, it has been even worse: • Billy Bass – Heart Cauterization. • John Ross – Back Surgery. • Michelle Smith – ...read more

    Dramatic monologue as if given by Paul. Against trusting in ritual, correct ideas, or emotion, trust the grace of Christ given in personal relationship with Him.

    Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Oh.. almost didn’t see you there.

    Paul safely escapes shipwreck only to have a snake come out of the fire and bite him. Instead of panicking or making a big show of how "bullet proof" he was, the Apostle simply goes about the business of serving God. It’s a great lesson for us when we fac

    Doesn’t it seem like something (or someone) didn’t want Paul to reach Rome? Angry mobs, corrupt leaders (both Israeli and Roman), then even the wind and waves seem to conspire to destroy Paul or crash him up against the rocks—anything to keep him from reaching God’s intended destination. But as ...read more

    Paul lays out the entire book of Romans in just two verses and gives his reason for excitement about the gospel, an attitude that can infect us as well.
