Now w... 00:50:11 Witnessing https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/rough-seas-and-rocky-ships/ Sun, 15 Oct 2023 15:23:03 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14439 Pastor Gaetano Paolino When storms rock your ship of life, do you follow your natural instincts and hang on hoping for the best? Or do you turn to God and let Him tell you what to do and how you can be a witness in tough time? The Apostle Paul gave us a great demonstration of t... 00:45:20 Courage https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/so-close-and-yet-so-far/ Sun, 01 Oct 2023 18:04:28 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14425 Pastor Gaetano Paolino In Acts 26, Paul gave a clear Gospel presentation to Festus, Agrippa, and the others in the room.

But this time it was more offense than defense. Clearly, Paul's objective this time is to win souls. In the process, Paul made the claim that Moses and the Prophets wrote about the sufferin... 01:00:53 Witnessing https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/paul-appeals-to-caesar/ Sun, 03 Sep 2023 16:35:17 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14360 Pastor Gaetano Paolino After Paul had spent two years in prison ... two years of witnessing to Felix and the others he encountered ... Porcius Festus became governor and inherited Felix's puzzling prisoner. Festus didn't have any better ideas than Felix did.

His offense? None, really. He was falsely accused of taking a gentile into the temple in violation of manmade Jewish laws that were contrary to God's commands. Underlying that was the deeper reason fo... 00:58:29 Human tradition vs. God's Law, Obedience https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/what-kind-of-hearer-are-you/ Sun, 06 Aug 2023 17:36:34 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14304 Pastor Gaetano Paolino He's here! Our new pastor has begun his duties at Candlewood and we are all excited. After spending a little time with our series in Acts, Pastor Gaetano leads us in a study of the Shema, which begins, "Hear, O Israel..." Listen as he explores what that H... 00:38:48 Obedience https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/pauls-testimony/ Sun, 09 Jul 2023 16:20:50 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14248 Jim Reed The Apostle Paul sets a wonderful example of sharing our testimony even in adverse conditions. Do you know how to simply share what God has done for you? 00:32:03 Witnessing https://www.candlewoodfl.org/sermons/obeying-god-even-when-it-hurts/ Sun, 25 Jun 2023 16:48:06 +0000 https://www.candlewoodfl.org/?post_type=wpfc_sermon&p=14221 Jerry Petersen The Apostle Paul had been praying to be able to go to Rome for a long time.
