All is Not Calm, All is Bright
If anyone tells you that following Jesus is all smooth sailing, (health, wealth, complete victory now), don’t believe them. Exhibit A: the life of Christ. Exhibit B: the life of Paul and the Apostles. Exhibit C: Paul’s journey from Caesarea to Rome. You could call chapter 27 “The Disastrous Voyage.” Today in the Word we follow Paul on his journey to proclaim the gospel to Rome, the center of the world. This chapter reminds us of the inevitable storms in life, and also of the watch- care of the Lord over His people. Because of these two realities, we can modify the words of the classic Christmas carol, and say, “all is [not] calm, all is bright.”

Renewing Our Passion for the Lost
How many times do we wonder why our soul winning is ineffective or why we don't even have a desire to go soul winning? It is because we don't have the prerequisite desire to linger with Jesus and sit at His feet. Sam Thomas, missionary to Egypt, preaches a very simple message reminding us of how to live close to Jesus so our passion for the lost remains strong.

Where Is Your There
John Pinnix, missionary to the remote regions of interior Alaska, preaches a convicting message on the extreme sacrifice of being where God wants you to be. Thankfully, there are also great rewards and blessings from God when we are willing to go to difficult parts of the world to share the Gospel.

You’re In Charge - NOW WHAT? Paul and the Elders at Ephesus
What would you do if all of the sudden, you were in charge of the church? Many of us have complained about what the church is doing or isn’t doing. But what if you were at the helm. What would you do? Today in the Word we come to Acts 20. Near the end of Paul’s third missionary journey, he meets the elders of Ephesus one last time and says that they are in charge. Now what?

Employment and Management Opportunities
Our Bible text addresses employee and employer relations in the context of the First Century culture, where many nations practiced slavery. Though the Apostle Paul was addressing Christian slaves and Christian slave owners, what he says is just as applicable to today's employees, managers, and business owners. We will discover that God has certain expectations of you, when you are at work. Today, we will examine three instructions from our Bible text that will make you a better employee, manager, or business owner.

Building Relationships
Robert Krzesinski, missionary to Poland, preaches on the topic of building relationships with people to aid in personal evangelism. Jesus set a great example for us in His encounter with Zacchaeus when He showed interest in him and interacted with Him. Similarly, we must build relationships and use a consistent testimony if we want to see our coworkers and neighbors trust Christ as Savior.

The Power of Teamwork - Part III: A Church TO All People
This sermon describes the role of every believer to serve as a missionary and a mentor (a.k.a. disciplemaker) to the world. It is not the responsibility of professional Christians missionaries and clergy to do this work (Ephesians 4:11-16), but rather it is the ministry of every believer. The sermon also challenges us to remember that every person is valuable to God, so we need not be discriminatory in who we hope to reach.
