Ministry In Corinth - Acts 18:1-17

We all face tough times. It's in the those times, we need and appreciate the brothers and sisters that come along side of us, to encourage us to not give up and keep trusting God's plan. We can be assured that God's presence and power is at work within us and He is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or think.

Athens The Idol Capital - Acts 17:16-34

Paul was deeply troubled by the idolatry that existed in Athens. He faced off with his secular audience by immediately directing their attention to the altar of the Unknown God. Proclaiming that He is the Creator of the Universe and does not live in temples built by human hands. He challenged and summoned them to respond to the crucified, risen Lord. This is a great model for us to follow in sharing Jesus with others.

Deep In The Heart Of Greece - Acts 17:1-15

Paul, Silas and Timothy continue on their missionary journey bringing boldly the message of Jesus, no matter the opposition. They encourage us today as believers, to be faithful in sharing the Truth courageously and lovingly, entrusting the results for spiritual transformation to God, the only One who can bring it about.

The Bereans are also examples to us to be students of God's Word, so we can adequately share the Truth with others.

The Macedonian Outreach - Acts 16:25-40 /Part 2

Paul and Silas were unjustly beaten and imprisoned with their feet put in stocks. Instead of despairing, they prayed and sang hymns while the other prisoners listened. At midnight, God divinely intervened by way of a powerful earthquake, shaking and opening all the cell doors and setting all the prisoners free. As a result, salvation came to the jailer and all of his family. The Word of God cannot be bound and salvation is for anyone who will call upon the name of the Lord and ask, what must I do to be saved?

The Treasure And The Pearl - Matthew 13:44-46

Everyone is searching for something of value in life. Jesus tells two short parables to show us that the greatest treasure is not in this world but in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Macedonia Outreach - Acts 16:11-24

Paul has been invited to Macedonia by an unnamed man to “help,” and in response, he has found his way there to begin his mission to Europe. God is a God of surprises as He leads His people to fulfill His mission.  As we obey the Lord's leading, we may not know who He has ordained for us to meet or what circumstances we may encounter. We can, however, trust His plan because it's the best plan and it will always prove to be redemptive for us and for others.

Open Doors & Closed Doors - Acts 16:1-10

These verses encourage us to walk in step with the Spirit. He sometimes leads us in ways we may not understand but if we follow Him we will see Him accomplish His purpose and will in and through our lives.

When Disagreements Happen - Acts 15:36-41

We can learn a valuable lesson from Barnabas and Paul when it comes to handling disagreements. It is important  when facing a conflict, to work towards a resolution. Seek to understand the other person's viewpoint and find a reasonable compromise.  When we let God have His way in our relationships, rather than demanding our own way, we bring glory and honor to His name, which is our highest goal.

The Great Grace Debate - Acts 15:13-35

In these verses of Acts 15, we see Grace put on trial and a test for the early church to either become unified or hinder God's divine plan of salvation to be extended to Gentiles. They concluded that God's grace was not limited but was available to all who would receive it.
