The Great Divide (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
Paul would soon be assaulted and arrested. This was not evidence that he ignored the Spirit, but that he was at the Lord’s disposal. Success was not to measured by how many in the city embraced his message, but in how faithful he remained to his Lord.
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?

Paul’s Ministry of Encouragement (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
We are not here just to “meet ’n greet,” but to edify and encourage. We should invest greatly in the spiritual health of each other by sharing burdens, praying, talking, correcting, and loving the body.
Getting the Word Out (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
The church is not a “safe place” to escape the world and find wholesome activities for the whole family. It is a staging center where we get our orders clear, get fitted out, and get sent out.
Coming and Going
Pastor Hamilton
It had become Paul’s life to start churches, visit those churches, and report back to churches. This kept him busy and blessed. The ministry of the gospel should always be going forward in us.
I Am With You
Pastor Hamilton
God doesn’t always send us to easy fields, but he never sends us alone or insufficiently provided. Christ goes with us, strengthening us for every task.
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.
