As we come full circle in our study of Paul’s first missionary journey, Bro. Jeff helps us pause and reflect on Paul’s example and how it applies to our own lives. How courageous are we (and what does that really mean)? How committed are we to the fellowship of believers? Are we really consecrated as followers of Christ?

Here, we visit a fascinating scene – a miracle of great proportions performed by a missionary of great perception. We are encouraged in our own faith as Bro. Jeff describes a lame man with faith in his heart. Why did God heal this man? Find the answer here.
As we continue learning about the first missionary journey, we find out that John Mark backed out. Why did he do that? Bible scholars have speculated, but the real application is in examining reasons believers give up today. In this powerful message, Bro. Jeff goes through his “dangerous dozen” reasons why Christians drop out of their Christian service.
It has been said that had the Bible must be true because no human would have thought to written it the way it is. Bro. Jeff points us to the passages where our Lord and Savior reveals Himself to be lower than the lowliest. In 1st-century, slaves were the lowest on the social ladder; Jesus came to serve even the slaves. He paid the sin ransom for all, for you and I!
“Pride will open a door, but not the door to blessing.” Bro. Jeff provides many Biblical truths and accounts where, before the blessing came, there was humility. God wants to bless you through this door as well!
God has revealed truth and has given us the choice to obey and be blessed or not. Bro. Jeff encourages us to walk through the door of obedience as he examines God’s demand for and Biblical examples of obedience to God’s holy Word.
Two ordinary men experienced extraordinary transformations, and we can as well! James and John are the subjects of Bro. Jeff’s message today; learn more about the job they did, the joy they had, the Jesus they met, and the junk they left behind.
Do you have the kind of faith that obeys God even when it means going against laws, against authority? The contrast between fear and faith is seen in the examples of two parents, a prophet, and a couple of apostles who all stood for their faith. Bro. Jeff explains here.
We have the same question as the Israelites as they studied the Promised Land and their ability to enter. Do we base our actions and decisions on feelings or faith? Reason or revelation? God is faithful in His Word, and we must trust Him so that we don’t miss His purpose for our lives. Be encouraged as Bro. Jeff goes into more depth here.
Three disciples were touched in a special way when Jesus took them to the top of the mountain. We too can have a “mountaintop experience” if we will plan unrushed time to be alone with the Lord. Listen to Bro. Jeff’s powerful and encouraging message here.
