The Great Divide (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
Obedience to Christ does not mean we always avoid hardship, but it means we never walk alone. Paul was bold under fire, and God used him to deliver a powerful message. Part 1
I Am Resolved
Pastor Hamilton
The more danger that awaited Jesus and then Paul, the more they were set on going to their destination. Along the way, God’s Spirit spoke through God’s vessels about the impending hardships that Paul would face. Was The Lord sending the apostle mixed signals, or thoroughly preparing him for difficulties ahead?

Lord of Heaven and Earth (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
Paul spoke to the intellectually elite at Athens and tactfully showed their duty to believe in and bow before the one, true God.
Right-Side Up
Pastor Hamilton
Paul lost his life in the Savior’s. He took up his cross and followed his Master into hostile territory. The hostile reaction of angry mobs was neither a surprise nor a failure. Every time someone receives the gospel they are changed, turned right-side up. We should not be surprised that such a powerful message meets […]
Now Is Christ Risen!
Pastor Hamilton
This day should be full of hope and praise! Every day should be lived in confidence that Jesus is coming again to rule as no other (vv. 24–28).
