Sermons About Prison
A City on a Hill 2
This week we continue our journey with Peter and John as they take a stand for Jesus in Jerusalem. Upon their release from prison, they meet up with the other Christians. Their friends are excited to have them back unharmed, but they want to know what happened. As Peter and John give them the details, they begin to see clearly what is happening and pray a very unusual and dangerous prayer. It’s a prayer for boldness, and if prayed today could change the way we interact with others and quite possibly the way we live our lives.

Sacred Joy: Philippians 1.12-18
As we continue in Paul's letter to the church at Philippi we see he speaks of suffering. Paul experienced various trials throughout his ministry. For Paul and the writers of Scripture suffering was not a strange thing, but normal. According to Paul suffering is a gift from God for the advancement of the gospel of Christ. Often trials impede our progress in our walk with Christ. Paul saw trials as those which brought even greater progress to the advancement of the gospel. So how do you respond to suffering? For Paul, he rejoices because through such Christ is proclaimed.

We Study So We Don't Forget
Have we forgotten to Whom it is we belong? Paul wrote to "the church" in Thessalonica for a variety of reasons. It could be summarized, as a whole, as a call to "blameless living." In 1:1 and 5:23-28 Paul's focus is on redirecting the Thessalonian Christians to remember they belong to God, they are not alone in their faith, and unity is essential in the body of Christ.

It Doesn’t Matter
Paul looks at his imprisonment and has a single minded focus. Despite the chains and the grief that others are causing him, his response is “it doesn’t matter”. What really matters to Paul is that Jesus is preached. That is what brings Paul joy and courage for his journey.l

When My Circumstances Work Out Right
From his prison cell, Paul looks at his situation and shows us that happiness doesn’t have to be based on our circumstances. His bad, mixed, and future circumstances actually fill him with happiness because he has allowed the gospel and his passion to inform how he responds.
