    Can an earthquake be a good thing? On first thought we would say no. But God can take things that seem bad and use them for something good. Today we’re going to see a good earthquake and ask the question, “Can God shake this place” too?

    CAN GOD SHAKE THIS PLACE? Acts 16:16-34 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR. IF ONLY 4 WEEKS TO LIVE 1. A Bible study group was discussing the possibility of sudden death. The Group Leader asked, "What would you do if you knew you only had 4 weeks of life remaining before your death, and your Judgment ...read more

    Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

    Zach was tired. He had been coming down to Tiberias every week for almost two months, bringing news and food to John in prison, and it looked like he’d probably be doing it for the rest of the year. Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more

    I used Seuss's Oh the Places you will go to introduce this message about choices and the choices that Joseph made and the consequences of those choices.

    Oh, the places you’ll go Read Pages 1-17 What a great book. Here is a confession; I had never read this book before I decided on the series. The other three I had read or had read to me as a child and read them to my children but not “Oh the Places you’ll go.” I had quoted ...read more

    Are you ready to stand for right even if it means going to jail or prison?

    “Detained For Doing Right” Acts 4:1-4 I have said many times, and I believe Scripture can back it; If you can see your enemy then you are seeing the wrong enemy. Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the ...read more

    A Hiding Place With Noble Plans

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 20, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,461 views

    We all need a place of quiet in which to hide and reflect; it will be the community of faith. Here we know one another as we really are, but love one another anyway. That is transformative.

    Just a little less than a month ago, as many of you know, my wife’s father passed away very suddenly. Of course, we all hurried to get together, and then, as families do in times like that, we began to tell stories. We remembered how he used to say this or how he once did that. And one story we ...read more

    Divine Helpers In Unlikely Places Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 336 views

    God often provides help from unexpected sources and through people we least expect. Divine helpers do not always come as wealthy benefactors or influential figures. Sometimes, they are found in unlikely places—individuals whom society has overlooked, rejected, or considered insignificant.

    DIVINE HELPERS IN UNLIKELY PLACES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 22:1-2 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

    Looking For God In The Wrong Places

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 20, 2017
     | 8,861 views

    The sermon focuses on the unimpressive sign the angels point to: a baby in a manger. Not much that's flashy about that. What are the ways that God comes into our lives that don't initially look impressive but are important and meaningful.

    That’s All You’ve Got? Taken at face value, the angel’s sign is pretty unimpressive. - Luke 2:12. - Luke 4:17-21; Luke 4:41; Luke 5:14; Luke 13:18-21; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30. - We get entranced by the Christmas story and the swaddling clothes and manger and don’t see it for what it is. In fact, ...read more

    many people in those days died on a cross as that was the Roman way of the death penalty for every one that was not a Roman, but Jesus death on the cross was different, as He bore the sins of all mankind, passed present and future.

    ISAIAH 53: & psalms 22: JESUS SUFFERED IN OUR PLACE 4-26-08 As we think about how Jesus suffered and died on the cross, people have their own thoughts about what His crucifixion must have been like, but I’m sure that most of us really can not comprehend what He actually endured, ...read more
