    Those who are being persecuted need to keep the perspective as to why it is worth it to suffer. It is worth it because Jesus is worthy. It is worth it because God is on his throne.

    This is the second letter of Paul to the Thessalonians. According to what we know about Paul’s timeline including his visit, arrival in Thessalonica, his exit, his first letter and second letter all happened in a very short time.

    2007 For Jesus!

    JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! It’s dark. It’s still. It’s raining softly. It’s the first moments of 2007. It seems like the whole earth is quiet. There is no noise. But if you still your mind and heart you can hear a very small, barely perceptible, almost indistinguishable sound. It’s not heard with the ...read more

    Jesus rebuked his disciples’ inaccurate expectations of his Messiahship, and warns them (and us) that the spiritual life includes persecution and struggle.

    Psalm 116:1-9, Isaiah 50:4-9, James 2:14-26, Mark 8:27-38 There is a wonderful hymn by Isaac Watts, usually entitled “Alas, and did my savior bleed.” Those of us who were evangelized and nurtured by the Southern Baptists or those similar to them have probably heard is hundreds of times. What is ...read more

    Saul’s experience on the Damascus Road proves that God is more powerful than any Terrorist. Saul’s "religion" was keeping him from "relationship"with Jesus Christ.

    Intro: Suppose Osama Ben Laden, Sadaam Hussein, or another famous terrorist leader was reported to have been converted to Christ. While many would be skeptical most would agree that God’s power had been at work and a Miracle had taken place. Such a miracle happened to the terrorist named Saul. ...read more

    Let's think about Paul's personal testimony and how it relates to our lives. (two positives and a negative) 1- He did not preach a made-up gospel 2- He did persecute believers in the past 3- He did receive a call from God

    One man's attempt to unravel the Scriptural reasons for suffering, especially the suffering of the people of God. Not an easy task.

    SUFFERING, per the BIBLE Another man’s attempt to figure it out… It’s not as easy as we are led to believe. We get sick and right away someone tells us we are being judged of God. Maybe. Another person gets sick, and he is told there is no spiritual significance to the illness. ...read more

    True family ties are experienced through our relationship with Jesus Christ. If there is a true tie with Jesus nothing, not even persecution, can break that bond.

    John 15:18-27 I’m sure this has been a busy day for many people. Mother’s Day is a time when people do get together with their families. The family unit is important. When you are part of a family, you wear that family name and all the good and bad things of the family come with the name. Legally ...read more

    Persecution can cause the believer to stumble and fall. It can cause us to sometimes question our own beliefs. It can cause us to weaken and return to the way of false religion. It can make us not want to witness. And sometimes this persecution can ca

    When John told the truth against political power (Herod) there were consequences. The same was true for Jesus, his followers. The 'values" of the world does not always appreciate the "truth" God offers in Jesus, "the way, the truth, and the life."
