Sermons on Suffering
Promises & Shipwrecks
Paul has a promise from God he is going to Rome. Yet everything is going wrong on the journey and it looks impossible. It is in the shipwrecks of life when we learn to fully trust the promises of God. Part 19 from Acts 27.
Finding Courage In Hardship
As Paul pursues his mission, the struggles will increase. Don’t be caught off-guard when following Jesus is hard and costly. Jesus is with you in the storm. Part 17 from Acts 20-23.
Roadblocks and Redirection
Disruptions are frustrating. But what if God is the one frustrating your plans? Learning to recognize God’s hand in our roadblocks is the key to being redirected to accomplish his purposes. Part 12 from Acts 16.
The Price For Doing Good
Unfortunately, doing good isn’t always rewarded. Sometimes it comes with a price. Will the church fulfill its calling regardless? Part 5 from Acts 5.
Choosing Joy in Mistreatment
In Matthew 5 Jesus says people who experience mistreatment for his name are blessed. In fact, they choose joy in midst of it. How can we develop persecution-proof hearts?

If God is Good, Why Does Bad Happen?

Great or Grave
The 7th and final seal causes a pause in the action of heaven. Part 4 of Victor’s Crown: Revelation.
Finding Healing For Our Brokenness

In these letters to the last 4 churches, Jesus has both a diagnosis and prescription. For a deeper discussion on Revelation 3:10, we encourage you to visit our blog and share your perspective.
