Acts | Following The Work Of The Spirit | March 20

,

Sermon by Jake Blair on March 20, 2022.

In Acts 8:26-40, we see Philip prompted by the Spirit to witness to the Ethiopian eunuch. This is coming shortly after the death of Stephen, the church is scattered and yet we see the Gospel continue to go forth, this time to Samaria, just like Jesus said it would in Acts 1:8.

Guided Prayer

Father, give me opportunities this week to speak up and love those you call me to love.

Jesus, thank you for calling me to be a witness for you and your Kingdom.

Spirit, give me eyes to see You at work in the people around me. Give me ears to be receptive to Your will moment-by-moment.

Amen.

Acts | Condemned on Earth, Applauded in Heaven | March 13

,

Sermon by Jake Blair on March 13, 2022.

At this point in the early church, we’ve seen some persecution and hostility, but the story of Stephen in Acts 6-7 marks the first martyr of the Jesus movement. So what can we learn from his sermon and his story?

Acts | You’re Only as Healthy as Your Secrets | March 6

,

Sermon by Allen Tipping on March 6, 2022.

In Acts 4:34-5:15, we have two contrasting stories. For Barnabas, the gospel had loosened his grip on his stuff and tightened his grip on others. But in Chapter 5, we are introduced to a couple who are not filled with the Spirit like Barnabas but instead are filled with Satan.

Acts | The Spirit and the Flesh | February 27

,

Sermon by Adam Gibson on February 27, 2022.

Historians and scholars are fascinated by the fact that a small sect of Jewish men and women, without clout, power, prestige, education, money, or influence, somehow began a movement that has swept the globe. Here in Acts 4, we get insight into the people who were the early Christians.

Acts | Spirit-filled Witnesses | February 20

,

Sermon by Jake Blair on February 20, 2022.

In Acts 4 we see Peter’s confidence as he shares Jesus with the religious rulers. And yet, in the Gospels, this is not the Peter we see - he’s brash and even denies Jesus. So what happened to Peter to go from denying Jesus to proclaiming him?

Acts | The Meaning of the Miracles | February 13

,

Sermon by Jake Blair on February 13, 2022.

Acts 3 is the first post-Jesus miracle in the book of Acts. Some scholars say that if you understand this miracle, in a way, you understand them all. This miracle shows you how God feels about suffering in the world, what he’s doing about it, and what he’s saying to us in that suffering; and it shows us, as the church, what our mission is in the world.

Acts | The First Fruit of the Spirit | February 6

,

Sermon by Adam Gibson on February 6, 2022.

The first fruit we see of the Spirit’s work after salvation may not be what you think. When it comes to the early part of Acts and what the Spirit does, some immediately think about the more “miraculous” works of the Spirit. However, in Acts 2, we first see the Spirit make a family. Where love for the family of God is not present, neither is the Spirit of God.

Acts | How to Start a Fire | January 30

,

Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 30, 2022.

What took place at Pentecost tells us about what the Spirit does and will do in the church. Namely, works - and specifically words (i.e. the message of the gospel) - that bring life and freedom.

This Spirit has been poured out on “all flesh.” And, if you are in Christ, this same Spirit lives in you and empowers this same ministry through you.
