Watch live Sundays!
The Essentials
Acts 21:1-26 As Christians, we are told that we should be united in purpose, to love God and each other, and to share the gospel message with others in love. Sometimes we struggle with the concept of unity because we differ with each other on theology. But we don’t have to divide over our differences. We can be united if we choose to agree on the essential doctrines of the Christian faith and if we offer grace for any non-essential…
Heading Towards the End
Acts 20:1-38 Paul faced many challenges and some of them were deeply personal. One of his greatest challenges was to face a return trip to Jerusalem when he knew that it meant bondage and suffering were ahead. But strengthened by the Holy Spirit, Paul forged on ahead. He was sure of the rewards in his future, and he was determined to serve Jesus with everything he had all the way to the end. Scriptures Referenced Acts 19:21 Acts 9:16 2…
I Will Go To The Gentiles
Acts 18:1-28 It must have been frustrating for Paul to go to so many synagogues to teach Jesus from their own scriptures and to then have so many of his own people reject the one who he knew was the Messiah they had been waiting for, for a very long time. Thank God that Paul was willing to take that same message to the gentiles. Without his diligence and perseverance, we might never have received the gospel message or maybe…
Wash, Rinse and Repeat
Acts 17:1-34 One thing that you can say about Paul is that he was consistent. When he arrived in a new place, he looked for the synagogue and he went to services to spend time with his own people. He shared the gospel with them by reasoning from their own scriptures to prove Jesus was the Messiah they were waiting for. Some believed, many did not, but Paul tried over and over again to make sure that the Jews received…
Here We Go Again
Acts 15:36-16:24 Paul’s commitment and devotion to God is remarkable. The abuse that he endured just to make sure the gospel message made it to everyone, Jew and gentile alike was beyond what most of us could bear. Thankfully, nothing could stop him because he was powered by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, Only Jesus
Acts 15:1-35 One of the most important distinctives of the early church was the emphasis on the pure work of Christ. None of us could save ourselves and we certainly can’t save anyone else. Only Jesus could do it, so that’s what He did. Scriptures Referenced Romans 3:20 Colossians 2:8 Galatians 2:16 Matthew 24:4-5 Ephesians 5:6 Exodus 20:3
Paul Turns to the Gentiles
Acts 13:1-52 It is hard to fault Paul for his love and determination to see the Jews saved. He was so devoted to God’s people. Fortunately for us, he was just as committed to seeing the gentiles saved. Scriptures Referenced Psalms 2:7 Psalms 16:10 Habakkuk 1:5
A Tale of Two Ministries
Acts 9:20-43 Two completely different men, pillars in the church, with two completely different ministries, sharing the common thread of telling the world about Jesus. Scriptures Referenced Mark 1:16-18 Acts 8:3-6
He is Risen
Psalm 22:1-28 Once again, we are looking at the event of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But we are looking with an eye towards the prophecies that God provided so that we would all know that Jesus is truly the Messiah the world was waiting for. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 49:10 Isaiah 53:6 2 Samuel 22:50 Exodus 12:3 Luke23:34 Numbers 24:17 Isaiah 53:10 Psalm 18:49 Luke 19:45-48 Matthew 24 Psalm 2:6 Ezekiel 3:4-6 Isaiah 11:10 Matthew…
How Were We Supposed To Know?
Matthew 21:1-10 The coming of the Messiah was prophesied long before the famous Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ, but scholars have shown that God’s plan for Jesus entry into Jerusalem to announce the coming of His Kingdom proves that Jesus arrived at the exact point in time God’s plans predicted His coming. For this Palm Sunday message, we look at some of the prophecies that predicted His coming so that we can rest assured that God has everything completely under…
Who Are You, Lord?
ACTS 9:1:19 When Saul got permission to go to Damascus to pursue Jesus followers, he never expected to meet Him on the way there. Talk about a life changing moment! Scriptures Referenced Acts 7:58 1 Samuel 3:4 Acts 8:1-3 Exodus 20:3
Unless Someone Guides Me
ACTS 8:25-40 Don’t you love divine appointments. Those opportunities to so something that God has planned for you. The things that make a difference. God planned a divine appointment for Phillip to meet and teach an Ethiopian eunuch, and the response was positive, and it was rewarding to the point where everyone involved was rejoicing and praising God. A good day! Scriptures Referenced John 1:1-3 Romans 10:9 Acts 1:8 Revelation 1:3 Deuteronomy 18:10 James 4:8 Acts 16:31 Acts 2:38
