    Basket Journey!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 4, 2014
     | 3,277 views

    Friend, who said being a Christian and serving God are easy? The battle begins now!

    Basket journey! 2 Corinthians 11:33”…but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.” Well, when we travel in a train, we call it train journey, can I call this ‘basket journey’ because Paul travels down the window to the ground in ...read more

    "Stephen: A Heart Of Commitment"

    It is always right to do the right thing, even if it is difficult. Jesus never said the Christian life would be easy. Remember, the symbol of the Christian life is a cross.

    HEARTBEATS “Stephen: A heart of Commitment” Acts 6:8-15 and 8:54-60 One of the things that are clear as you look at the gospels is that popularity can be costly. Most of us if we would admit it, certainly desire to have it. But we sometimes don’t realize what it can cost us. ...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.

    Developing the heart of a servant part 2 Acts 20:18-38 We discussed, last Sunday, the need for faithfulness…to our families, in our finances, to the fellowship of the body, and to the faith. Today, as we continue developing the heart of a servant we will need to think about two more things ...read more

    People whom you think would come with you would not show up one day! Caveat! We got to have our hearts strengthened and you need to have the fortitude to move on without ‘such people’ .......

    When people turn away – part 1 2 Timothy 1:15” You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 2 Timothy 1: 16 - The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains; 17 but ...read more

    Two Broke Preachers

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on May 6, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 25,515 views

    Peter and John were just two broke preachers but they were God’s preachers and that's what made the difference.

    Introduction: When Jesus called on His disciples, He did not sit them down one by one to negotiate their salary. He did not ask them for a resume, He did not ask them for a reference because no one knew them better than He did. There’s no explanation in the Bible as why He chose His twelve ...read more

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

    Judas - A Man Who Became A Traitor

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,307 views

    When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

    When it comes to villains the Bible has its fair share. There’s Cain the brother-killer. The conniving Delilah. The murderous Jezebel. The rampaging Manasseh. And then there’s public-enemy #1, Judas the betrayer of Jesus. Too often we look at the villains and we see people that we ...read more
