In this homily you will get an overview of the Book of Acts…

A Hard Heart or a Shriveled Hand? 42:03

8d ago42:03

42:03

The more popular Jesus became, the more enemies he made. In this story he has some enemies that try to catch him out, accuse him and perhaps get him killed. But Jesus knows how to deal with conflict.

"Oh my, Jesus touched a Leper" 42:22

29d ago42:22

42:22

Jesus never touched a demon-possessed person, he just spoke to them. But whenever someone was physically ill, Jesus would want to touch them, even though it wasn't necessary. On this particular day Jesus was faced with a different challenge, he came face to face with a leper. A leper was considered cursed by God, a sinner and highly contagious. Lep…

A Demon in Church 31:10

27d ago31:10

31:10

It sounds like a scene out of a movie. While Jesus is preaching in a synagogue a demon-possessed man suddenly addresses him. Talk about a sermon interruption. The demon launches a host of questions at Jesus. But Jesus doesn't answer him. He just tells him to "shut up and leave". And the demon obeys. Isn't it interesting how easily evil spirits obey…

A mighty God-ordained storm moves across the Levant and hits this ship in a hard way. For days and nights there was no hope to be saved and everyone pretty much thought they were going to die.

29d ago39:43

39:43

In this great chapter we see the Apostle Paul preach a great sermon again that includes his testimony. He talks about visions and resurrections. To the mind of a Roman pagan like Festus this must have sounded ridiculous. But Paul was not a fool and didn't speak like an educated man. And the only way Festus could make sense of this man is to say he …

Festus, the poor new guy on the block finds himself ion a pickle. The case of Paul is so complicated. The Jews hate him, and his predecessor put him in prison in Herod's palace.

Paul stands stands trial before the new governor. In this text we see Paul face his accusers again, after two years. And they are still mad. Festus finds himself in the middle.

Even Royalty Need Jesus 38:11

2M ago38:11

38:11

There are three types of people who experienced Jesus and His miracles: (1) Those who saw and believed. (2) Those who saw and didn't believe. (3) Those who didn't see but believed. This latter group of people really intrigue me. These are people who didn't see any miracle, who didn't see a resurrection, but they believe simply because they have hea…

Jesus Turns Water into Wine (John 2:1-11) 46:57

3M ago46:57

46:57

Jesus didn't do miracles to amaze people, but to show them who he was. Jesus had five disciples in Cana at this wedding. They had followed him primarily because someone they trust had told them who he was. But they haven't really seen who he was for themselves. Well, here at this humble wedding in a small village Jesus performs the first of his mir…

Do you sin less? 44:36

3M ago44:36

44:36

Warning: This is an offensive lesson. John says we cannot be born again Christians and continue living in habitual sin. This message is offensive because there is a strong flavor of cultural Christianity in our communities where Jesus is great, but we don't conform our lives to Him. Unfortunately there is also a false theology regarding grace that …

Why God doesn't answer prayers (Easter Message) 32:49

3M ago32:49

Sometimes our experiences contradict what the Bible promises. One of these promises is God's promise to listen to our prayers and answer them. Yet, we sometimes hear nothing from God.

36:53

The Early Christians wrote a song about Jesus. It contains lyrics that illustrates the attitude that Jesus had as he endured life on Earth and his ultimate persecution and death.

Why Worry? 44:30

4M ago44:30

44:30

One of the basic struggles that we face is worrying, or we can even call it anxiety. Jesus addresses this effectively in his sermon on the Mount. Generally we pursue money because we believe money will take care of our worries. And it does take care of some worries, but not all of it. Jesus contrasts money with God and says faith in God is a better…

Do you love the world? 33:06

4M ago33:06

33:06

John tells us that we cannot love both God and the world. What does it mean to love the world? Surely the "world" is not the people or the place, right? Yes, the "world" refers to Satan's philosophy of life that is caught up in pleasure, possessions and positions. Surely we can enjoy the pleasures of life, surely we should work to achieve positions…

Do you walk as Jesus did? 42:03

4M ago42:03

How to live a stupid life and become insane 43:39

4M ago43:39

43:39

In this satirical sermon it is made clear that the best way to end up with a broken life and broken mind is to neglect and reject the word of God. The steps to insanity are pretty simple: Don't believe in the devil, don't trust what God says, don't love the truth, and don't memorize Scripture. If you obey these four rules you are guaranteed to expe…

Winter is Coming: Work! 53:38

6M ago53:38

53:38

Perhaps the best way to stay spiritually warm in an increasingly cold world is to be active in God's work. But what exactly is this work? When Jesus says His Father is always at work, what is that work? If we could summarize the work of Jesus into one sentence, what would that be? The American way is comfort and convenience. Even our churches are s…

Acts 17:10-15 Noble People 38:22

7M ago38:22

38:22

The Jews in Berea were of a different kind than Paul was used to. Luke actually calls these people "noble". They were more noble than the Thessalonians because they had "open minds" and "open Bibles". They were actually willing to listen to Paul and check his assertions with Scripture instead of just fobbing off his teachings.…

The Apostles had a fairly tough ministry in Thessalonica. There was a strong Jewish community that opposed Paul and incited a mob against him.

As the world gets colder, as people start loving less, we will be tempted to love less too. But we have to counter the trend as Christians. And we can. Through obedience we can love people even if we don't particularly like them, or get along with them, and even if they hate us. This is hard. But Jesus shows us how.
