Berean Christian Fellowship

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.

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.

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Acts. In Acts 21; we see Paul hurrying to get to Jerusalem as the Holy Spirit repeatedly warns him not to go. Did he do the right thing? What motivated Paul? Was having the Romans arrest Paul, God protecting him? In this sermon, Pastor Kohl, speaks on the Gospel, how even the best of God's people still fail, and God's amazing mercy and forgiveness.

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Acts. Here in Acts 20, we see Paul's last meeting with Elders of the Ephesian church. A church, he had spent years pouring himself out for. Here he summarizes his work with the church, and gives a fearful warning. What can we learn from Paul's example? Why should churches have Elders? What are they? What do we learn from the warning given by Paul?

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Acts. In Acts 20, we read about how the disciples, Christians, met on the first day of the week. Why do Christians traditionally meet on the first day of the week, when the Old Testament Sabbath was clearly on the 7th day of the week? What does the Sabbath point to? In this sermon, Pastor Kohl goes through a quick overview of the Sabbath.

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series through the book of Acts. In Acts 19:23-41, there is a riot at Ephesus against the Christians. Yet, despite the huge mob and the high emotions, Paul is unharmed. Just as God had promised. In this sermon, Pastor Kohl speaks on God's providence, and control. Even though, He still allows struggle and hardships for His people. He never leaves His own and He is completely in control.

Blackboard After Sermon:

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?
