  • Working for The Lord

    (Acts 18:1-4) My website is called “freegiftfromgod.com” for a reason.

  • The Lords work WILL Be Done

    (Acts 5:21-26) Think about Jonah. He tried to escape from doing the work of The Lord by running away to sea. Did he get very far? Nope! The Lord brought a storm down, threatening to sink the boat Jonah was on until the sailors threw him overboard to be swallowed by the great fish. The…

    (Acts 4:13) This one verse today is very interesting and one we should consider carefully today. It goes to the heart of ministry and who is capable of teaching the word of Jesus. Let’s first have a quick look at the verse itself. “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived…
