Jonathan Williams with Word of God, Speak

Something started to shake.  It was a low rumbling at first, then a great loud noise. The walls of the building began to move and the doors of the prison cells were broken off their hinges.

Today you will hear a Tale of Two Women – one a gracious, Jewish woman, the other was a Gentile slave-girl possessed with the spirit of the demon-god Python.  You could not have a greater difference between the two and yet God used both to open the doors of Europe for the Gospel of Christ. Listen today and find out how he did it.

Going into new areas with the Gospel - this was uppermost in Paul's mind. But on this day God did the unexpected. On this day, God told Paul, "No, don't go there to preach." Listen, today, and you'll find out why God said "no."

John wrote his book to warn churches that were in spiritual danger. What exhortations do we find in his closing words to warn and equip us in our spiritual battles?

Is it possible that some of God's people go so far into sin that we should stop praying for them? It's a great question, with a surprising answer.

What if we discover a friend or family member in sin?  Do we ignore it? Do we become critical? What does God want us to do?

For some reason we have come to think that an answer to prayer must always be "Yes."  But isn't "No" or "Wait," also an answer?

Why are some prayers answered and others not? How can we build confidence that God hears and acts on our prayers?

We accept human testimony all the time.  If we accept human testimony to confirm things, should we not accept God's testimony?

Why is it that an overzealous monk added a verse to the original manuscript of Scripture? Today, let's find out what he did, and why.

The world is a frame of mind and a way of life that is ignorant of, apathetic to, or defiant to God and His will and which is reinforced by the prevailing culture. It's not a list of "do's" and "don'ts" as much as it is a way of thinking that separates people from God.

We regularly talk in Christian circles about overcoming the world, but what does that mean and how do we do it?

Throughout history, many have faced death with courage. From the philosopher Socrates, calmly drinking the cup of hemlock… to the Jewish martyrs under Antiochus Epiphanes, enduring unimaginable suffering… to faithful Christians who sang and prayed as flames rose around them…. They all died with bravery.   But no one died like Jesus. Why did the One who healed the sick, raised the dead, and command...

Paul uses imagery from the agricultural world and the building world to show us what our priorities should be in prayer - to go deep into the love of God.

What about the future of the world?  What about the future of my kids and grandkids?  What about my future?  What will happen when I stand before God? 

How do we know that our belief in Christ is correct?  How do we know that what we teach and what you hear is really God at work? 

Can we be sure that God loves us? Can we be sure that our Christian experience is the true God at work in our lives? How can we face the future without fear?

I am sure all of us agree that the greatest need in everyone's life is to experience love.  No one argues that.  And yet, the sad reality is that many do not experience love, or they experience a distorted form of love.

Our young people and adults have bought into the spirit of the age – relativism – and are sitting ducks for a sharp shooting religious salesman

We live in a time in which it is trendy to be tolerant of everyone's beliefs. People say, "it's OK to believe whatever you want to believe.  You have your truth and I have mine." Is this the right approach?

Sometimes, we have an over-active conscience and sometimes our hearts can falsely condemn us.  We worry about things we shouldn't worry about and beat ourselves over things that don't matter to God.

Become a giver.  Give as opportunities rise.  But also give as a discipline.    Become a consistent giver to the work of God.  Don't give God your crumbs.  Don't give Him the leftovers.  Give to Him first.  When you get paid, let that be the first check you write, not the last.

If you were to ask the average person, "Do you think you can know absolutely for sure if you will go to heaven when you die?" most would answer, "I would like to.  I wish I did, but I don't know."

Sin is not a friend. Sin is a ravenous beast, always devouring—never satisfied—and its desire is to master us.

Some Christians get headlines for their moral failures.  Some get headlines for their political views.  But not often do we get headlines for our love.
