    Nothing More Powerful

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Jan 20, 2012
     | 3,281 views

    Nothing is more powerful than a Christian living and sharing his faith. God shows us this here.

    Acts 16:25-34. It is the most powerful force on the face of the earth. And it is also the most under-rated. It can cut through rock. It can move houses and trees and cars. It can rearrange landscape. Take it away, and everything dies. Add it, and things come to life. What is it? It's water. We ...read more

    This is the second in a series on the Philippian church. The experience of Paul and Silas in Philippi shows us key principles of salvation and joy.

    The Not So Great Escape Curt Deming Melbourne Community Church I love prison escape movies. It seems that no matter how badly they behaved to get themselves into prison, once they start trying to get out, I’m rooting for them to make it. It’s even easier to sympathize with the escaping prisoner ...read more

    This sermon contrasts life under the Old Covenant with the freedom found in Christ under the New Covenant.

    GOD'S WAY TO FREEDOM GALATIANS 3:23-29 INTRODUCTION We can imagine how terrible it is to be in prison. Here many freedoms are taken away.

Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 40 The chief butler and chief baker of Pharaoh relate their dreams to Joseph. He interprets the dreams, which after three days are ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “What must I do to be saved?” Acts 16:22-40 If you remember, last time we saw the slave girl, who had supernatural powers that were not from God. Paul and Silas delivered her from demonic possession and because her masters were making a lot of money off of her, they got mad and brought ...read more

    Like Barabbas, many people are in bondage to their sins and because of their sins. Find out how Barrabas got there and how he got out.

    HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET OUT? Mark 15:7 Intro: The text tells us about a man named Barabbas who has been incarcerated and is simply waiting execution.
