Paul just preached an exciting sermon, so exciting that many pursued him during the week and almost the whole city showed up at the synagogue to hear him preach again the following week. The Jews that he first carried the gospel to rejected it and Paul turns his attention toward reaching the Gentiles. In this sermon there are many lessons for faithfulness in ministry today. We also learn what it m...

The Christian life and ministry is warfare and we do not have to be afraid of our enemy b...

Our final message at our parenting conference was on the rod. The Bible has much to say about the use of the rod in the home and the extreme dangers of its neglect! This message is very practical, at times very heavy and serious, and at other times very humorous and enjoyable. Jason and his wife Janet are seasoned parents and have much blessing in their home. You will want to pay close attention!...

During the infancy of the Antioch Church prophets come up from Jerusalem and deliver a word that that a worldwide famine is upon them. The young church in Antioch then decides to send aid to the church in Jerusalem. How does prophecy work in the church today? We begin scratching the surface on this question. How are Christians to practice generosity today? We dive into that a bit too. If you are i...

Wonderful things have happened in Caesarea for Cornelius and his household. Now Peter gets back to Jerusalem and has to face criticism for going into a foreigners home and eating with them. Peter answers their criticism by telling them all that had happened. They are persuaded that what Peter did was a good thing and they see God’s good and providential hand in it all. How do God’s people change a...

Peter was telling Cornelius and his household the good news of Jesus Christ and his kingdom. Then suddenly, God’s Holy Spirit fell upon those who were listening and they began speaking in tongues and praising God. Then they were baptized. What does it mean that the Spirit fell? What is speaking in tongues? Should we expect things like this to happen today? What lessons are there for us as we take...

Cornelius and Peter are finally together and Cornelius asks Peter to tell him and his household all that they need to hear. The Gentiles are about to believe in Jesus!

We learn how to know if we have believed in Jesus or n...

God had made it clear long before the events of this passage that He would bless all the nations of the earth (Gen. 12:3). Isaiah had prophesied that God would do a new thing, that He would make a way in the wilderness, that He would make rivers through the desert, and that wild beasts would honor Him (Is. 43:18-20). All of this is being fulfilled in Acts 10. In this chapter God arranges a meeting...

In this third and final message in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we look into what the scriptures teach about human sexuality and sexual sin. It was God’s plan from the beginning that sex is to be enjoyed by one man and one woman who have entered into the holy covenant of marriage. All sexual activity outside of this is wicked. Those who believe that abortion is a right feel that som...

Children are a gift from God, they are part of our inheritance and the man who has many is blessed. Many people today (Christian and non-Christian alike) do so much to avoid having children and miss out on God’s blessing. Repentance is needed. We have no need to worry that we can’t take care of them for it is the Lord who builds the house. We have no reason to be concerned about having too many fo...

The evil and unconstitutional 1973 SCOTUS ruling Roe v. Wade has been overturned. This is a huge step in the right direction for our nation but there is much more work to do. All 50 states had the opportunity to defy Roe these past 49 years but they chose to implement incremental legislation that makes it legal to murder their babies. These unjust, iniquitous decrees (Isaiah 10:1) must now be stru...

Peter heals a paralytic and raises a dead woman to life. He did it all in the name of Jesus. We were all at one time powerless under the weight of our sin and unable to come to God. We were all at one time darkened in our understanding and alienated from the life of God. But God… But God heals the paralytic. He raises the dead. Jesus changes people. If you are in the neighborhood we would love to...

Now that Saul has become a Christian, the church experiences a period of peace. During this time the church multiplied. None of us would be content with a calculator that doesn’t have a multiplication button. Why are we ok with a church that doesn’t have one? How does multiplication work in God’s kingdom? How can the church go beyond merely adding members and see multiplication? The Bible says a d...
