The Apostle Paul will be facing a literal storm today! His ship will be in danger, along with his and his fellow traveler’s lives. Yet God is still with Paul, and this faithful missionary isn’t going to let the waves deter him. Pastor John will be asking you to examine the times of storm in your life – those moments when you’ve had no control and life seems to be falling. Those storms reveal a lot about you – where are you putting your trust? What or who do you cling to? It’s a great time to turn to the rock – Christ Himself!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 27 as he continues his message Sailing Stormy Seas.

As you’ve grown up, you’ve likely had people older, and wiser give you advice and help you become who you are today. Pastor John will share that this should happen in your spiritual life too! Having a spiritual advisor or mentor will challenge you, open your eyes to new ideas, and draw you closer to your Savior! Pastor John will share how this mentor and student relationship has existed and thrived since the early church – Paul was a spiritual teacher to many! Don’t be afraid to seek wisdom from another – it will benefit you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 27 as he begins his message Sailing Stormy Seas.

Everyone needs to hear the Gospel message! Today, you’ll join Pastor John as he explores another opportunity Paul had to tell the truth of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Paul didn’t assume that anyone was too far gone to be saved, or that refraining from telling his testimony would somehow make things better. Paul looked at every encounter as an opportunity for salvation! Pastor John will be encouraging you to adopt the same mindset – everywhere you go; you can tell others the good news of Christ!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 25 as he continues his message Paul the Defender.

The message of Jesus as the Messiah is more than a good man or a believable religious teacher. Jesus is God’s Son, and He came to earth to die for the sins of every man and woman. But as Pastor John will remind you today, Jesus isn’t dead anymore. He rose again, and He’s alive right now! This Messiah had the power to become a sacrifice, and then to defeat the punishment for sin. Jesus lives, and that can give you hope! Your Savior is greater than all things. He’s with you too – and He’s fighting for you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 25 as he begins his message Paul the Defender.

There is nothing in this world that can give you everlasting hope- no amount of money or prestige, not even your family or friends. ONLY Jesus can provide hope for the future. Pastor John wants you to know today that money doesn’t last, and fame is fleeting. The only thing you can cling to for life is the thing the Apostle Paul is holding on to in today’s message! It’s Jesus – when you place your life and your faith in the hands of the Messiah, you can overcome with His grace, and you’ll have so much to look forward to!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 24 as he continues his message Paul’s Bold Witness.

The Apostle Paul’s in trouble – he’s on trial for things he didn’t do, and today he’ll have people telling lies about him. Have you been in this kind of situation before? Have people come against you with false accusations? Pastor John has a plan to share with you today – don’t fight it alone. Take these lies to God, and allow Him to step into your battle! God knows your heart, and in the end, His opinion is all that matters! Let God fight this war – trust Him to work things out exactly as they should be!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 24 as he begins his message Paul’s Bold Witness.

God can - and does - use anything and everything to accomplish His plans! He’s always working, always planning, and always pulling things together the way He knows is best. God isn’t surprised by your situation - He knew long ago you’d be exactly where you are right now! Pastor John will be reminding you today that you can trust God always, especially in those times you can’t see Him working. Rely on His goodness and faithfulness - it’s served many well before you, and it will sustain you now as well!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 23 as he continues his message God our Helper.

When a crisis hits, how do you handle it? If you follow Jesus and have been saved from death by His grace, you have hope to cling to! Today, Pastor John will share how depressing it must be to endure hardship without the love of Christ. Those who are looking to the world and material things for comfort are going to be disappointed! Jesus offers a much better way to live each day and much greater comfort for the times when life disintegrates! Turn to Jesus instead, and let Him take your troubles!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 23 as he begins his message God our Helper.

Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Has He changed your life? Then you have a testimony! It may not be filled with life and death moments, and it may not be a spectacular tale, but your story is YOURS. Pastor John will encourage you today to share your testimony! You can tell people how life was before Jesus, and how it is now that He’s the one you focus on. Tell your story, point people to Jesus, and let Him work through that to change lives!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 21 as he continues his message, Paul in Chains.

The original Jewish temple was divided - there was a place for non-Jews, a place for Jewish women, a place for Jewish men, and an inner place where God dwelt. This Holy of Holies was only open to specific priests at specific times, and the rest of the people were cut off from it! Pastor John will remind you today, though, that Jesus broke down the barrier. Not only were the Jews now able to have access to God through Christ, but also the Gentiles - all people can know Jesus personally!
