    It’s never easy to live under constant stress and adversity. When our lives are finished, may it be said of us that “they ceased not.” Faithfulness to God is not a novel thing; it’s to be our normal practice.

    Suffering Shame In The Name

    Contributed by Mark Wood on Mar 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,857 views

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to show the congregation that the first witnesses of Jesus Christ were willing at any moment to give their life for the ministry of Jesus Christ. Our call today is no different. We should be willing to die for the Gospel of Jes

    Suffering Shame in the name of any person simply means that you have given your life to that person in order to suffer shame. We think of the negative aspect of suffering shame. I can think of an abusive husband who continually humiliates his wife. She is shamed by it but continues to stand by ...read more

     | 4,994 views

    Dr. Wood shows his audience that in the midst of problems the good news of Jesus Christ cannot be held back. God uses three groups to get the good news out. The unexpected, the unsuspected and the undeflected.

    The council that had convened was prepared to kill the disciples. God had miraculously freed them from the prison and they returned right back to doing what the temple rulers had told them not to do The Good news was too good to keep it to themselves. Verse 33 There were some that were ready to ...read more

Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more
