Sometimes sharing the Gospel with your friends and neighbors will produce a healthy conversation and debate. Sometimes it will merely turn them away. But other times it will actually incite them to anger and resentment.
Charles Spurgeon said, The Bible is like a lion: you don't defend it, you just let it loose. In Acts chapter 19, that happens, and transformation in the lives of people is incredible, and the assault upon the kingdom of darkness is undeniable!
The bestowal of the Holy Spirit at Ephesus shows that the church is without social castes. We should be diverse, but unified in spite of our diversity.
How would your like look as a reality TV show? Would it be wroth watching? Would it be wholesome and God-honoring? What would it reveal to others about you? Maybe it's time for God to rewrite your life's script, so don't touch that dial!
The more persecution and opposition the Apostle Paul faced, the more confident he became in sharing his faith. But sometimes even Paul's faith was tested to the limit. In this lesson, it took a vision from God in the night to bring him back.
Is there really such a thing as a secret sin? No! Even the sins that are never discovered keep us from being the Christians God intends us to be. The person we fool most when we keep our sins buried in the closet is ourselves.
Of all the amazing biographies Stephen brings us in his "Legacies of Light" series, perhaps none will pull on your heartstrings like this testimony of faith. It's a story of a woman's endurance, a man's despair, and a Savior's incredible mercy. Meet David and Svea Flood.
David and Svea Flood were 20th century Protestant Christian missionaries who are known for their work in India. David was born in Sweden in 1892 and Svea was born in Sweden in 1897. They both grew up in devout Christian households and felt called to serve as missionaries from a young age.
David and Svea were married in 1920 and together they served as missionaries in India for over 50 years. They faced numerous challenges and setbacks during their time in India, but remained dedicated to their work and deeply loved by those they served. They established a mission called The Christian Mission, which focused on sharing the Gospel with people in India and providing education and medical care to those in need.
In addition to their missionary work, David and Svea were also active evangelists and spent much of their time preaching and teaching about the Christian faith. They were known for their powerful and inspiring message and their ability to touch the hearts of those they served.
Throughout their lives, David and Svea Flood remained deeply committed to their faith and their calling to serve others. They are remembered as courageous and selfless missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel and serving others. Their legacy lives on through the many lives they touched and the ongoing work of missionaries in India and around the world.
Every year, false prophets are exposed for attempting to predict the future and failing. That's why it's so vital for the believer to depend on the Bible to understand not just truths for our lives right now, but truths for the future as well. As Jesus continues His Olivet discourse, He delivers some warnings to the people of Israel in the form of prophecies, and 40 years later, all of His prophecies came true. That gives us all the more reason to trust His prophecies that haven't happened yet, as Stephen Davey explains in this sermon.
Isn't it an amazing thought that God can't lose you? No matter where you are in the world – whether lost in a crowd of tourists or alone on some secluded mountain – God is already there. Stephen takes us further in his study of Psalm 139 to show us why that is cause for rejoicing.
The thought that God knows everything about us is often a disconcerting thought. But it is a thought we should rejoice in every day. David's unforgettable lyrics in Psalm 139 provide the reason for our rejoicing.
After helping His disciples understand the end times, Jesus turned His attention to equipping them to be prepared for their lives in the present. We still live in the period between Christ's two comings, so the lessons from His teaching are just as applicable to us today. Stephen Davey takes us through six of these implications in today's lesson.
