A History of Faithfulness, Acts 13:13-23

Paul's sermon at Antioch begins with a joyful, gracious announcement of God's track-record of faithfulness. New Covenant believers should find their hearts "strangely warmed" by this retelling.

Another Victorious Power Encounter

Very informal message due to the tiny, holiday crowd. At times more a discussion than a sermon. May it bless you.

Christ vs Herod, Acts 12

In Psalm 2 we learn that God answered rebellious rulers by setting His king on His holy hill. We apply that truth to Herod's malicious malfeasance in Acts 12.

No more detestable food, or people. Acts 10:9-20

Stephen's Defense: Who REALLY Opposed Moses? Acts 7:34-43

Stephen's 3rd Witness, Moses, Acts 7:19-33
