📝 Sermon Description In Acts 26:1–32, the Apostle Paul stands before King Agrippa and recounts how the risen Lord Jesus transformed him from a persecutor of the church into a witness to the gospel. His hope rests in God’s promise of resurrection, fulfilled in the suffering and risen Christ. Sent to proclaim forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Jesus, Paul calls his hearers to repent, turn to God, and bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Though Festus dismisses his testimony and Agrippa remains unpersuaded, Paul speaks with courage and humility, longing for all who hear him to share his faith in Christ. This passage reminds us that salvation is the work of God’s grace and that the risen Savior brings sinners from darkness to light. Like Paul, we are called to speak of what Jesus has done for us and to live faithfully and consistently with that testimony, trusting God to use our witness wherever His providence places us. 🙏 Join Us for Worship🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger🗓️ Sermon Date📅 Sunday, November 1, 2026

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 25:13–27, the Apostle Paul’s case is brought before King Agrippa as Governor Festus struggles to explain the accusations against him. Though Paul has committed no crime deserving punishment, he remains in custody because of his unwavering testimony concerning Jesus Christ and His resurrection. As Festus recounts the controversy surrounding Paul, the central issue becomes clear: Jesus was dead, but Paul boldly declares that He is alive. Even amid political uncertainty and unjust treatment, God is sovereignly directing Paul’s circumstances to bring the truth of the gospel before rulers and authorities. This passage reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the heart of our faith, that God’s purposes cannot be hindered by human opposition, and that He uses even difficult circumstances to advance His kingdom. Like Paul, we are called to remain steadfast in the truth, trust in God’s providence, and faithfully bear witness to the risen Savior wherever the Lord places us. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, October 25th, 2026

In Acts 24:1–27, Paul stands before the Roman governor Felix to answer the false accusations brought against him. Rather than compromising his faith or seeking to escape his circumstances, Paul boldly defends his innocence and faithfully proclaims his hope in the resurrection of the dead. As Paul speaks about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix becomes alarmed but chooses to delay responding to the truth. This passage reminds us that the gospel demands a response, that our hope rests in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that God calls His people to remain faithful even when justice is delayed. Like Paul, we are called to bear witness to Christ with courage, maintain a clear conscience before God and others, and trust in the Lord’s sovereign purposes, knowing that the time to respond to His truth is now. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, October 11th, 2026

In Acts 23:12–35, Paul faces a deadly conspiracy as more than forty men plot to take his life. Yet even in the midst of danger and uncertainty, God is sovereignly working to preserve His servant and accomplish His purposes. Through the courageous actions of Paul's nephew and the unexpected protection of Roman authorities, Paul is safely escorted to Caesarea, where he awaits his hearing before Governor Felix. This passage reminds us that God's plans cannot be thwarted by human opposition, that His providence is often displayed through ordinary people and circumstances, and that His promises remain certain even when the path ahead is unclear. Like Paul, we are called to remain faithful in the face of adversity, trust in God's sovereign care, and take courage knowing that the Lord is always at work, even when we cannot see how His purposes are unfolding. 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 📅 Sunday, October 4th, 2026

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 22:30–23:11, Paul is brought before the Sanhedrin as the Roman commander seeks to understand the accusations against him. Paul’s declaration of his hope in the resurrection exposes the deep division between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the council quickly descends into conflict. As opposition intensifies and Paul’s future appears uncertain, the Lord stands near him and says, “Take courage.” This passage reminds us that the risen Christ is present with His people in the midst of opposition, that our hope is rooted in the resurrection, and that God’s purposes are not frustrated by difficult circumstances. Like Paul, we are called to bear faithful witness to Christ with courage, trusting that the Lord is with us and will accomplish His purposes.🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, September 27th, 2026

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 21:37–22:29, Paul stands before an angry crowd in Jerusalem and gives a defense not merely of himself, but of the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. He recounts his former zeal, his encounter with the risen Lord, and Christ’s call to carry the gospel to the Gentiles. When his testimony provokes renewed outrage, Paul also wisely uses his Roman citizenship to prevent an unlawful beating. This passage reminds us that our testimony is ultimately a testimony to God’s grace, that the gospel will sometimes meet fierce opposition, and that faithful Christians can trust God’s providence while wisely using the means He has provided. Like Paul, we are called to speak clearly about what Christ has done and remain faithful wherever He sends us. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, September 20th, 2026

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 21:18–36, Paul arrives in Jerusalem and quickly faces misunderstanding, false accusation, and violent opposition. Even as he seeks peace and unity among believers, hostility grows and he is eventually seized and arrested. This passage reminds us that faithfulness to Christ does not guarantee ease or approval, but God remains sovereign even in suffering and confusion. Paul’s example challenges us to pursue unity, remain faithful when misunderstood, and trust the Lord’s purposes in every circumstance. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, September 13th, 2026

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 21:1–17, Paul continues his journey toward Jerusalem, knowing that hardship and suffering await him there. Along the way, he is surrounded by believers who love him deeply and are concerned for his safety, yet Paul remains resolved to follow the path the Lord has set before him. As warnings increase and the cost of obedience becomes clearer, Paul demonstrates a steadfast trust in Christ that is not controlled by comfort, fear, or self-preservation. The believers eventually respond with the words, “The Lord’s will be done.” This passage reminds us that faithful obedience does not always lead down an easy road, but we can trust the wisdom, goodness, and sovereignty of God even when the path ahead is difficult. Paul’s example challenges us to treasure Christ above our own security, to trust the Lord when we cannot see the outcome, and to faithfully follow wherever He leads. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, September 6th, 2026

📖 Sermon Title “Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders” – A Sermon on Acts 20:17–38 📝 Sermon Description In Acts 20:17–38, Paul gathers the elders of the church in Ephesus and gives them a deeply personal and solemn charge. Looking back on his ministry among them, Paul reminds these shepherds of his humility, perseverance, faithfulness in proclaiming the whole counsel of God, and unwavering commitment to the gospel of God’s grace. Looking ahead, he warns them of dangers that will threaten the church and calls them to watch carefully over themselves and the flock that the Holy Spirit has entrusted to their care.

📝 Sermon Description In Acts 20:1–17, we see the heart of the apostle Paul for Christ’s church. As Paul travels through Macedonia and Greece, he strengthens and encourages the believers, giving himself to the work of building up God’s people. In Troas, the church gathers on the first day of the week to break bread and hear the Word, and when tragedy suddenly strikes Eutychus, the Lord graciously restores him to life. Through Paul’s ministry, we are reminded that genuine love for the church is expressed through faithful encouragement, sacrificial service, devotion to God’s Word, and a deep concern for the spiritual good of Christ’s people. 🙏 Join Us for Worship 🕙 Every Sunday at 10 AM 📍 40 Church Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543 🌐 www.twinvillageschurch.org 🔗 Stay Connected 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/twinvillageschurch ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/twinvillageschurch 🎧 Apple Podcasts: twinvillageschurch.org/apple 🔊 Spotify: twinvillageschurch.org/spotify 💖 Give: twinvillageschurch.org/give 📚 More Resources: twinvillageschurch.org 👤 Preacher ⛪ Sermon by Pastor Phil Nicewonger 🗓️ Sermon Date 📅 Sunday, August 23rd, 2026

📝 SERMON DESCRIPTION In Acts 18:23–19:7, the gospel continues to advance as Paul begins his third missionary journey and arrives in Ephesus. Along the way, Apollos is instructed more accurately in the way of God, and in Ephesus Paul meets disciples who had only known the baptism of John. He explains the fullness of the gospel, pointing them to Jesus Christ, and they are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. This passage reminds us that sincere faith must be grounded in the truth of the gospel and that God faithfully brings His people to a fuller knowledge of Christ through His Word.

📝 SERMON DESCRIPTIONIn Acts 18:1–22, Paul brings the gospel to Corinth, a city marked by wealth, immorality, and spiritual darkness. As he reasons from the Scriptures and testifies that Jesus is the Christ, some reject the message while others believe and are baptized. In the midst of opposition, the Lord strengthens Paul with the promise of His presence and assures him that He has many people in the city. This passage reminds us that the advance of the gospel does not depend on favorable circumstances, but on the faithfulness of God, the power of His Word, and the courage He gives His people to keep proclaiming Christ.
