In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Acts. Paul, in Acts 24, is brought before the Roman Governor Felix and defends himself from the Jews' accusations. Felix was a notoriously unjust governor. Pastor Kohl looks at different aspects of Paul's defense. In the end, Paul boils down the issues to his belief in the resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. He claims that this belief motivates his life. Does it motivate ours?

Acts 23:11-30; When God is Silent
Monday Apr 08, 2024
Monday Apr 08, 2024
In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series in Acts. In Acts 23, we see Paul stuck a prisoner of the Romans, it had to have been a very discouraging time. Was this because Paul didn't listen to the warnings God sent? Had Paul messed up God's plan? Was this the end of Paul's ability to do ministry? Beaten, rejected by his own, thrown into prison, and no longer free to plan his own life, in the midst of this chaos, God was still in control. Even when God seems to be hidden behind the scenes, He is the one setting the scene and controlling each phase of it.

Monday Apr 01, 2024
Monday Apr 01, 2024
In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, Pastor Kohl speaks on the hope of the resurrection. We see in Christ's resurrection our true hope. He, the God who created life, who it was impossible for death to hold, promises that this life is not the end. Paul says that Christ has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. It is because of this reality that our labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues on in Acts to Acts 19:11-20. Where we see the story of the seven sons of Sceva. Paul was able to do great miracles, and these men tried to replicate it using the name of Jesus as a magic phrase. It didn't work. What do we learn about the Spiritual Struggle from this passage? Why did this account cause the believers in Ephesus to get so serious about removing witchcraft from their lives that they destroyed 50,000 pieces of silver worth of books relating to magic and witchcraft? How do we respond when we see the realities of the spiritual world?
