    Navigating Through The Sea Of Hardship

    Contributed by David Darst on Feb 22, 2021
     | 5,973 views

    This is a expositional sermon series through the 27th Chapter of Acts. The Unusual account of The Apostle Paul's journey to Rome, and the practical applications of how it can help assist believers navigate through the storms of life.

    How to Navigate through the SHIP….in the Seas of HardSHIP. In the Storm, you must stay with the Ship to Survive! Acts 27:9-44 I find it extremely interesting why Luke dedicates an entire chapter to Paul’s experience of this voyage on his way to Rome. I think it holds substantial spiritual and ...read more

    God has gone to great lengths to purchase us back from Satan and eternal death, and to give us Eternal life. The very least we could do is to take the time to learn how to receive these very great and precious promises.

    Simple parable. Or is it? I find myself wanting to ask Jesus some questions like “Who or What is the PEARL OF GREAT VALUE?” Are WE the pearl of great price and is it Christ who gives up everything to purchase us?

    Matthew 13:45-46 – YOU ARE SO WORTH IT! – Part 17 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!” Simple parable. Or is it? I find myself wanting to ...read more

     | 5,342 views

    People like presents, especially good ones that are useful, and that reveal how the giver put forth some thought into the purchase. In the Bible we are told of the best gift of all! “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

    Everyone likes to receive presents; however, there are some we could probably live without. Christmas time is when the majority of gifts are given, and it seems to be the occasion when some of the worst ones are purchased during those last minute shopping trips. A survey was conducted in which ...read more

    Ahab was king of the Ten Northern Tribes (Israel) and wanted to purchase a vineyard growing next to his palace, The owner wouldn't sell, so Jezebel (the queen) took matters into her own hands. The results were not pretty.

    Introduction: After Elijah had left Mount Horeb and returned to Israel, he seems to be out of the picture for a while. King Ahab, though, had been very busy with wars against Syria (see 1 Kings 20). After that, Ahab saw a vineyard belonging to someone else but Ahab wanted it anyway. He got it, all ...read more

    FBC Gaithersburg: funeral for Julia McNeely Vance, centenarian, physician, daughter of Irish Baptists. Text and poem requested by family. Julia's commitments, nurtured early, brought her into an unusual life. Not delivered by me because of illness.

    That classically Irish face looks out at me from the printed page, and I wonder what it must have been like for Julia McNeely, born a century ago, to have grown up and to have followed her calling. On one side were all the customs and expectations of her day and time … that women would live ...read more

    “Precious” that an unusual word to use at a memorial service. And in fact, I don’t think I ever heard it used at a memorial service. Now in the hospital, in the birthing unit, “precious” is a probably a common word choice. But not at a memorial service!
