    What God Does With Pain Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Oct 13, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,787 views

    In this message the "stages" of experiencing pain are examined, with the goal of God using our pain to point others to him

    INTRODUCTION * God’s sovereignty: he is in control of all; clearest demonstration of God’s sovereignty is making good come out of bad * How God demonstrated this in Scripture: - Joseph’s life (innocence - sold into servitude - rises in power in Egypt - incident with ...read more

    When God Opens Hearts, And Opposition Comes Series

     | 5,788 views

    God directed Paul to Philippi to preach the gospel. Acts 16 reveals both the open hearted reception and the opposition he faced. We should expect the same when we share Christ today.

    When God opens hearts he comes into them to dwell. Acts 16 gives us the history of how the gospel was planted in Philippi, how God opened their hearts to hear and obey the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This lesson continues our introduction to the letter of Philippians. Let's read ...read more

    Jailhouse Rock Series

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    I’m old enough to remember the 1973 debut of “The Exorcist”, starring Linda Blair as a demon-possessed girl delivered from her haunting by a pair of priests. The film earned 10 Academy Award nominations, and the image of the possessed girl with her head turned backwards on her body has undoubtedly ...read more

    Sharing the Good News of Jesus...Results in Changed Lives, Can Bring Trouble, Results in Freedom, Requires Personal Sacrifice

    Sharing Heaven’s Good News Acts 16:12-40 Intro: In Luke 2:10-11, God sent angels to give a message to some Jewish shepherds. The message went like this: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ ...read more

    Do you ever get into a situation where you are trying to follow God’s will but things just don’t seem to work out? If so, you are in good company. Find out how the Lord used a pinball to guide Paul, and you!

    We’d love to get an email from God with our day all planned out but it doesn’t work that way. And so we seek God and move forward—only to run into road blocks and rivers and dead ends. So what gives? Does the fact that things don’t work out perfectly mean we don’t hear God or are somehow not ...read more

    The Not So Great Escape Series

    This is the second in a series on the Philippian church. The experience of Paul and Silas in Philippi shows us key principles of salvation and joy.

    The Not So Great Escape Curt Deming Melbourne Community Church I love prison escape movies. It seems that no matter how badly they behaved to get themselves into prison, once they start trying to get out, I’m rooting for them to make it. It’s even easier to sympathize with the escaping prisoner ...read more

    The Environment Of Choice Series

     | 6,315 views

    THIS PASSAGE PRESENTS US WITH SEVERAL SCENARIOS, EACH OF WHICH PRESENTS PAUL AND BY INFERENCE US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF CHOICE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE NOTE OF THE PRINCIPLE THAT CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES. IN OTHER WORDS, CHOICES

    THE ENVIRONMENT OF CHOICE Acts 16:11-40 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. 13 On the Sabbath we ...read more

    Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

    Contributed by John Hamby on May 27, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,519 views

    Every morning and every evening the head of a Jewish household would pray, giving thanks that God had not created him “a Gentile, a woman or a slave.” It hardly seems coincidental that the first three conversions which take place at Philippi, come from those three despised categories.

    “what Must I Do To Be Saved?” Series

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015
     | 9,502 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “What must I do to be saved?” Acts 16:22-40 If you remember, last time we saw the slave girl, who had supernatural powers that were not from God. Paul and Silas delivered her from demonic possession and because her masters were making a lot of money off of her, they got mad and brought ...read more

    Blessings Of Obedience

     | 11,461 views

    Kids may disagree with their parents, but if we can teach them to trust us and obey, we help them set a pattern to listen and respond to the heavenly Father. Our complete obedience to the Lord allows Him to accomplish His purposes in and through us.

    Blessings of Obedience Text: Acts 16:9-40 Intro: Paul, Silas, Timothy, and probably Luke worked as a team to share the good news about Jesus in several different cities. God gave purpose and direction to this missionary team; they obeyed God and traveled to Philippi where God had prepared the way ...read more

    The Life-Saving Power Of Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 20, 2015
     | 5,489 views

    Paul and Silas likely did not feel like praising God when they were in jail, but they learned to walk by faith and not by feelings. Paul commands us to do the same thing. He commands us to walk by faith and not by feelings.

    Acts 16:25-40 is the story of how God can take the bad circumstances of our lives and use them for good. Paul and Silas had just cast out the demons who were occupying the servant girl, but her owners had them put in jail. The servant girl was a sorcerer who made money for her owners, and when Paul ...read more
