Church leadership in 2020 is shifting under duress—from trendiness to 'fish or cut bait'. The warnings of Paul were never more timely. Part 1.

"Screaming of the Lambs" (Acts 20:13-21)

This message hits where it can hurt—and help. Pray before listening—many blessings inside.

"Beggars Who Bless" (Acts 19:21,22; 20:1-6)

A violent protest broke out in Ephesus—but the reason may not be what you expected. A church game-changer. [For the record—I misidentified the source and location of a very important verse I quoted: Peter, not Jesus, said "Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God..." —1 Peter 2:12. Sorry for the confusion.]

"About that Violent Protest..." (Acts 19:21-41)

Jesus' name is not a magic word. Here's why (provocations and blessings ahead).

"Magic Christians" (Acts 19:1-20)

Why did Jesus teach His disciples about hating their father and mother? What was His problem with oaths? And what about baptism? Why is it so incredibly important? This sermon comes fully loaded. (Audio quality is good, but not great—apologies)

"Oaths, Baptisms and Other Controversies" (Acts 18:18-19:7)

To call someone a "Corinthian" was a horrendous insult—but the Corinthians well deserved their vile reputation. When Paul showed up, they discovered a whole new life—and God—that they never imagined: the God who transforms everything. He still does—especially the worst of us, and with abundant grace and forgiveness... (Rated PG-13)

"Shocking Transformations" (Acts 18:12-17)

A sermon especially for Christian Conspirators, Covids and Facebookians... In our age of media-mania, even bad information sounds believable. When it comes to sound doctrine, Christians often fall for the same fallacies—which is bad for everyone. Here’s a provocation that might keep your train on the tracks...

“Working Off that Flabby Doctrine” (Acts 17:10-15)

What is the Mark of the Beast? What is bedrock of Ministry? What do these two radically different subjects have in common? Very little, but Paul's mission to the Thessalonians sheds a lot of light on both. Consider yourself challenged.

The Mark of Ministry vs The Mark of the Beast (Acts 17:1-9)

Preached to any villains lately? How might you do that? Here's an important discovery from a familiar story, featuring video RECORDED LIVE at PHILIPPI (Acts 16:16-40).

"Saving Villains" (Acts 16:16-40)

Are you afraid of your future? Has God been silent? A confrontation between Paul and a demon in Philippi is both a warning and comfort as we wait for God's will. (Acts 16:14-18)

"Fortune-Telling and the Silence of God" (Acts 16:14-18)

Paul saw two enormous opportunities to preach to untold thousands—and God said 'no'. He ended up with an audience of ten—all women—in a foreign land. And it changed the world...

"When God's Will Makes No Sense" (Acts 16:1-14)

Paul and Barnabas more than disagreed, they were furious. Who was at fault? Did they ever reconcile? Did any good come of it? What does it say to today's ministers? A game-changer.

"When Christians Clash" (Acts 15:36-41)

One of the most important chapters in the Bible points us to another powerful passage—a tale of two letters that rewrote history. Mind blown again. (Acts 15:22-35)

"A Tale of Two Letters" (Acts 15:22-25)

A controversial message for a turbulent time in church history—then and now. 3-1-20

"The Idol of Tolerance" (Acts 15:12—21)

It was no surprise that Paul opposed Peter–what was shocking was Peter’s response. May we learn as he did… (2-23-20)

"When Paul Opposed Peter" (Acts 14:23–15:11)

A prophecy update supplement that stirs the pot and the heart. Fasten your seat belts... Acts 14:21-22  (2-16-20)

A prophecy update supplement that stirs the pot and the heart. Fasten your seat belts... Acts 14:21-22 (2-16-20)

'Who Will Go Through the Tribulation?' (Acts 14:21-22)

What the Apostle Paul endured for Jesus was staggering—but was it worth it? And what about us—why follow Christ when it can hurt so much? A must-listen for every Christian. 2-09-2020

"Was it Worth It?" (Acts 14:8-23)

Preaching the Good News can invite stinging reactions. Paul's visit to Iconium confronts the sting—how God is in it and how good Christians can be like salt in a wound... Acts 14:1-7  02-02-2020

"Love that Stings the Eyes" (Acts 14:1-7)

There's an ancient, recurring trend re-emerging—it's diabolical, it's in many churches and the Bible has something to say about it—and us. 1-19-2020

"Antisemitism in the Real" (Acts 13:46-52)

When it comes to salvation, God's grace is everything—it's Jesus plus nothing; all other efforts for salvation—except His—are vain. An essential and encouraging message from Acts 13:43-45. Enjoy.
