This Christmas season we are looking at how we can become Gift Givers. Not gifts to our family and friends, but being a gift giver to God. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Destination2021 #BecomingAGiftGiver

The post Becoming a Gift Giver: Obedience appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

We will all face situations in our lives where we need to be victorious. We all meet situations in life where we can do nothing in our own power or strength to overcome. There are going to be situations in our lives that are big, that are giants. We must decide how we are going […]

There is no other holiday like Christmas, where expectation is so much a part of its celebration. We look forward to Christmas, longer, and with greater anticipation, then all other holidays combined. We have all heard the phrase, “It is better to give than to receive.” Where does this idea come from? Join us this […]

The post Becoming A Gift Giver: Recognition appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

You are in some sort of trial, or trouble. You look for escape in one direction and you run into a new problem. You turn the other way, and there is more trials. You are between a rock and a hard place. No matter which way you turn, there seems to be no hope, no […]

The post Destination Rome: A Rock & A Hard Place appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

Last week we saw how some well-intentioned people tried to stop Paul from going to Jerusalem. Ultimately it was God’s will that Paul go. In the rest of chapter 21, Paul arrives in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem church welcomes Paul, but the Jews of that area do not. This causes great friction and ultimately leads to […]

Advice can be a wonderful thing…or an absolute disaster. I bet that all of us can think back to some bad advice you received or perhaps some bad advice that you have given. Sometimes we don’t want to hear advice, but we should hear it anyway and pay heed to it. Last Sunday we started […]

The post Destination Rome: Good Advice… Bad Advice appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

Today we start the end of Acts. Paul is focused from this point on. Paul knows God has called him to go to Rome. Rome was the center of the world at this point. And Paul was commissioned to share the message of Christ to Rome, thereby enabling people to take that message to the […]

The post Destination Rome: Wake Up! appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

Today we continue in our cities of Acts. Paul is not in his third missionary journey. Here we find people who seem like followers of Christ, doing the work of true believers. However, thing are not always what they seem. Join us as we finish traveling the cities of Acts in chapter 19. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee […]

The post Visiting the Cities of Acts: Duplicity appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

There are a lot of unexpected events, surprises in the Bible. It’s surprising that God saved a man like Saul, who became the great Apostle Paul. Think of the surprise to the Israelites when they came to the Red Sea with the Egyptians in hot pursuit, and suddenly, Surprise, God parts the sea for them […]

The post Visiting the Cities of Acts: Distinguished Faith appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

We have been through various cities so far in our journey through Acts. Last week we visited Religiosity. A place where people pretend to be religious but all of it is empty and hollow. Instead, we need to move into relationship with God. The week before that we were in Simplicity. The Bereans showed us […]
