    Strength out of weakness, sounds a little impossible doesn’t it? How can something that makes us weak cause us to be strong? For when I am weak, then I am strong. How do we apply this in our own lives today? How can our weaknesses strengthen us?

    Our Weaknesses Can Strengthen Us Strength out of weakness, sounds a little impossible doesn’t it? How can something that makes us weak cause us to be strong? It sounds like a paradox, strength out of weakness, it is a phrase that at first may not seem to make a lot of sense, many in the world ...read more

    God has promised us a new creation and empowers us to live it in the here and now, as it has already been purchased for us through Jesus’ death on the cross.

    Years ago (in fact it was the first summer after we were married), Karen and I decided that we would spend our summer vacation visiting her relatives and my birthplace here in Nova Scotia.

    Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,456 views

    Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

    First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

    Paul discloses a progression in the Christian pilgrimage to the Ephesian believers in that they had Heard the Truth then Believed in Jesus and went on to be Sealed by the Spirit.

    HEARD, BELIEVED, SEALED Today we celebrate the Day of Pentecost. What a wonderful day it was for the first disciples of the risen, ascended and glorified Jesus. It was the inauguration of the Church of Christ. But what does the coming of the Holy Spirit mean to us nearly 2,000 years on from that ...read more

    This idea of peace is not found just once, but several times in Scripture. Peace comes through thanksgiving. Peace comes through knowing our identity in Christ. And peace comes through following our God-given purpose.

    When Paul saw that great door opening for him, he saw that it was a door of opportunity, a door of obligation, & a door of opposition.

    we can be confident in sharing the gospel with our friends and neighbours because we know that God has already called out people to hear and respond when they hear the good news of salvation.

    I want to finish this part of our series on Acts by reflecting on the way God continued to encourage and support Paul in his preaching of the gospel, despite the great opposition he faced. God’s empowering was such that many people came to believe in Jesus. Paul was able to keep going despite the ...read more
