This is the famous story of how the apostles were put into jail and then during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors and brought them out of the jail. In the morning they went out to the temple courts and continued to preach. When the high priest and their associates heard

Isn’t it interesting how someone acts when they know something with 100% certainty? I saw one of my boys do something that they were not supposed to be doing the other day. When I questioned him what he was doing he denied it emphatically. When I told him that I saw him do it, he

Moses was leading a million people. His father in law came to him and gave him some advice to help him. The advice given was to focus on what God called him to do, what he was good at doing, and to let others help him. In essence, he was lifting up others around him

Moses was raised as one of Pharaoh’s own (Exodus 2). When he was younger he had it all. Isn’t it interesting how Moses replies when God calls him from the burning bush? Who am I to be called to this? He was broken. You know if Moses had stayed in Egypt, would he have even
