In this message we see the lovingkindness of the Lord toward mankind. We learn He is always there to rescue us, even when we don't deserve it.

The seeds of the Gospel were sown in the capitol city of the most...

In this message we learn that the Lord holds our lives in His hands. When we are on a mission for Him, nothing can stop His will from being accomplished. The Lord leads us in the way we need to go, and protects us until we get there.

In this message we learn that people believe the Gospel but are unwilling to surrender their lives to Christ. King Agrippa is an example of this after listening to Paul share his testimony.
