    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

    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.

     | 15,660 views

    Message given to graduates encouraging them to keep their eyes on Christ. It demonstrates how God could transform a persecutor of the church into a preacher for Christ.

    From Persecutor to Preacher Pressing Toward the Mark… Last week, we started a series on the Apostle Paul. If you will recall, prior to his conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul was one of the most feared person within the Christian church. He, being a Pharisee, sought to persecute this new ...read more

    The First Missionary Journey Series

     | 12,117 views

    Paul’s first missionary journey is a model for our own missionary endeavours in the modern world. God continues to call us to preach the gospel for thesame reasons as he did Paul.

    Why do Mission? One of the questions often asked by Christians over the last 30 or so years has been the question, "Why should we still be sending people out to preach the gospel to other nations and cultures?" Sometimes the question is asked in a slightly more negative way: e.g. "Do we have ...read more

    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

    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

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,292 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
