Reformation Sunday - John Newton: A Life Of Amazing Providences
Why spend Reformation Sunday learning about John Newton? Although he is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, the man was influenced by great men of God and in turn God used him to influence a younger generation of great men of God.

The Attitude of Prayer
"The Lord's Prayer" was never intended to be recited over and over without meaning (because the heart is not right). It is a guide of the intensity we HAVE to pray. We have to pray persistant and unrelenting, to the point of being annoying. (from a human standpoint, as God cannot be annoyed) This is what Jesus shows us how to do with "The Lord's Prayer", until God answers our prayer.

When You Pray
How much time did you spend this past week, on your knees, in earnest prayer? May this be the reason that the church today is in the state it is? Jesus said: "and WHEN you pray"; (not if you pray). As believers we are EXPECTED to pray on our knees, humbling ourselves before our God by ourselves.

Act(s) X and XI - Scene I, II, III, IV
It was time for God to take His revival to the next level and bring the gospel to the Gentiles. First He needed to make some adjustments in Peter so He could be used in the process. Peter's visit to the House of Cornelius is the focus of this message and the lessons learned that are applicable to the church today.

Nehemiah (#5): Providence & Progress
In Nehemiah 4:1-23 the rebuilding of the wall continues and the people begin to tire and face even more intense opposition. This time though it moves from mere words to the threat of actual violence. From this chapter we can learn much from how Nehemiah wisely motivates and leads his people, and how progress, even under God’s providence, is painful.

Act(s) IX - Scene I, II, III
Understanding the basic elements of conversion is a must when engaging with a generation of people who desperately need an encounter with Jesus Christ. An examination of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus is a valuable exercise in this quest. Along with the Valiant Ananias and the miracle working Peter, this is a look at this drama played out in history almost 2000 years ago.

Plots and Providence
Paul's circumstances in Jerusalem remind us that God is in control and is working out His plan no matter what our situation seems like.

Act(s) VIII - Scene I, II, III
Acts chapter 8 begins to bring into focus the heart of the matter which the Father was after with the outpouring of His Holy Spirit and the developing of community in the early church. The scattering of the church precipitated a vast spreading of the good news of the Lord Jesus. As the work of God is not done by groups, but rather by individuals, we see Philip's response to the move of God and how we can follow his example.

Ezra 5: Restoration: The Providential Grace of God
Will discouragement stop the work of the Lord again? Or will we remember the providential grace of God that not only brings us to HERE... but leads us on to where and who He wants us to be?
