"Wk 30 Paul's Final Days" Paul knows that there is for him a crown that would never fade, the crown of righteousness, which is God’s reward to those who are faithful and obedient to His Son. In today's message Paul's life teaches how to live the life God has called us to. 

By Paul's example we see how being empowered by the Holy Spirit allows a believer to overcome any circumstances and have joy,commitment, love and patience.Despite the tough journey, Paul was not focused on the location he was focused on the one he journeyed with, the Holy Spirit. 

Acts chapter 2 paints for us a picture of what the church was meant to look like.So, as we read this description, I want this description to paint a picture, an image, of what God intended for the church. So Acts chapter 2 starts this way (verse 42): “They (the church) devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” We want to be a praying church. That’s how we want to be known. Not as “the big church” or “the loud Church” (but) we want to be known as “the praying church,” the church that prays. As we look through the scripture today we will see what God has the church to be.

"Wk 27 Resurrection". Message

The religious and the political leaders of the day had to be secretly celebrating for what they had pulled off in the short span of around sixteen hours. Now there would be no more public rebukes coming to them from Jesus, no more bizarre teaching about loving your enemies, no more awkward moments or flamboyant interruptions in the middle of the temple. No more Jesus.

But that's just what they thought.

God would never allow His own Son to be executed. That would be ludicrous and that would be senseless. Well, in this case it was actually neither. It was love.
