    Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022
     | 3,717 views

    What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

    The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

    A Christmas Eve meditation on Jesus' preparation for His sacrifice. Jesus revealed His purpose in taking on flesh in this first message He delivered to a small synagogue.

    “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the ...read more

    It is easy to fall into a rut, but the Christian life never needs to be boring. In fact, change is always a part of a life lived in a dynamic relationship with God

    Romans 6:3-11 “A Road Map for Change” INTRODUCTION Road maps are at times difficult to read. They become almost incomprehensible if we don’t know where we started, where we are, and where we want to go. When we start to talk about a road map for change, we need to first talk about these ...read more

It is about a lad in Louisiana that is a huntin’, alligator fightin’, hard workin’, crawfish pie eatin’, and grape Nehi drinkin’ good old boy.

    The Bible Code

    based on 71 ratings
     | 4,530 views

    Stop trying to appease the world’s intellect for they cannot understand God by the mind. True science affirms the Word, but science doesn’t convict the heart. Facts are easily ignored, but the Spirit working on the heart cannot; resisted, but not ignored

    Having just seen a show about the Bible Code the other day, so I thought I would put in my two cents on the issue. I know some very good men think this is a great find, but even great men need to hear from an Amos from time to time. When you first listen to it, it sounds really cool especially to ...read more

    An in depth understanding of the bible passage of Jesus' rejection in his home town and what message it has for us today.

    Our reading from Luke 4:16-30 is known as the Rejection at Nazareth. It takes place immediately after Jesus had been tempted by the devil in the Judean Desert and before he travels to Capernaum, where he teaches and performs many miracles. In it we find a fast moving story that turns from ...read more

    The Prosperity Gospel sounds nice, but it is an monstrous atrocity which denies the sovereignty of God and makes God subject to man's sovereignty. This is heresy

    HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WEALTHY Mark 11:22-24 Several years ago I read in Jews for Jesus newsletter, an article by Milton Kohut entitled, “Heaven wanted to wait.” Milton Kohut was Jewish believer in Christ and he shared how when his mother died, he was told, “God takes the best ones ...read more

    The word "season" has a double meaning, and both help us to understand our mission.

    Feast of St. Dominic 2013 In Season and Out of Season Today’s saint, Dominic is a giant among men. He illustrates what St. Paul means by preaching the word of God both in and out of season. In his case he preached mostly out of season, resisting the Albigensian heresy. So let me share ...read more

    Christians are called to be holy. However, we are not always certain what it means to be holy or how to achieve that status.

    1 PETER 1:13-25 AGAINST THE TIDE (PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE MORAL CLIMATE) “Preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of ...read more

    I’m afraid we’ll sleep till the church dies! We need to something or somebody to wake us up and if the church is dead, then we need someone to revive us!

    Acts 20:7-12-Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

    This is our second week of looking at what it takes to understand God’s Word. Last week we looked at the right message.

    We’re in John chapter 2 today, following the Lentern pattern of jumping around into different sections of the Gospels and landing upon passages that are appropriately sombre and challenging.

    We are in the latter part of the first chapter of the Gospel according to St Mark this week, and it’s a scene that I think would make very acceptable day-time television. It is very ’G’ rated.
