Do you have the gift? Are you following the command? Is it priority? Find out if you are an encourager as Bro. Jeff points out several examples in Scripture that motivate us to inspire others to live for God.
What does it means to be a soldier for Jesus? To be sold out for the gospel of Christ? To be surrendered to the point that we would choose stoning over physical well-being? We are encouraged to evaluate our own commitment in this challenging message as Bro. Jeff looks at Paul’s example.
Do you lack deep fulfillment? Are you searching for a satisfaction to a great emptiness inside? What great wisdom can be found in this message – so timely for today! Bro. Jeff points out the things that draw us away from the peace and joy, away from the One who truly satisfies.
Even in troubled times, God has a plan. God has a purpose. In this sermon about the sermon, Bro. Jeff encourages us to pray. Learn more about Israel’s history, about God’s sovereignty during the cycles of Israel’s cultural and spiritual collapse and the application this has for us today.
Even when God puts you in a wilderness of trials, tribulations, unjust treatment, He is working out His will and purpose. Israel’s history provides great Biblical examples that highlight God’s sovereignty and His work in people’s lives. Bro. Jeff points out what we can learn from their successes and failures and how we can stay on the path of belief and trust in Him. Are you in the center of God’s plan for your life?
God is sovereign. He is in control, accomplishing His purposes. We were heartened and strengthened by Bro. Jeff’s history lesson from Paul’s sermon in the synagogue.
While the darkness was coming on one, the darkness left the other. The sorcerer was not seeing anything, but the deputy saw it all. Both were in spiritual darkness, but the sorcerer gained physical darkness as well, while the deputy was delivered and found spiritual Light. Bro. Jeff explains more as he wraps up the account of this spiritual battle.
While the hand of God usually brings blessing, it can also bring judgment. As a consequence of his spiritual darkness, the sorcerer receives a punishment of seasonal darkness. The Bible doesn’t continue the account of the sorcerer’s life, but we hope he surrendered to Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Bro. Jeff describes the eternal darkness that results for those who don’t receive the wonderful gift of salvation. So much in this message applies to us today.
Here we are introduced to a man whose purpose was to deliberately turn people away from God. Listen as Bro. Jeff describes the scene that was set for an incredible spiritual encounter and stay tuned to the next few sermons as the story unfolds.
