Acts 13:13-52 - Paul's Message of Encouragement

Acts 13:13-52

The Victorious Lamb - Revelation 5:6-14

What symbols come to mind when you think of victory? The world has a definitely different definition of victory than what Jesus gave us. On Easter, we celebrate the risen Christ, but how do we see Him? What image of the victorious Christ do we hold on to?
The Victorious Lamb - Revelation 5:6-14

Acts 8:1-8 - Snaphot #2 of a Deacon - Philip

Pt 19 in the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, we take a look at another deacon in the First Century Church - Philip. Did he have the same qualifications, the same heart-attitude as Stephen, who not only served by the power of the Holy Spirit, but witnessed about the love of Jesus Christ in the face of death. Was this burning passion of the early church leaders lost after time, or is it something we should possess today.
Acts 8:1-8

Acts 5:17-42 - Preach the Full Message - in Jesus' Name

Part 15 of the Acts sermon series.
Peter and the other apostles were arrested and commanded not to preach in Jesus' Name. They determined to obey God above man, and were severely beaten because of taking a stand for Jesus. How did they react? We must have the same determination and attitude that these disciples had in these last days.
Acts 5:17-42

Acts 2:1-13 - Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Part 4 in the Acts sermon series.
As the disciples were all together in one place and of one heart, passionately seeking the Lord in prayer, the promised Holy Spirit came upon them and forever changed their lives and ministry. Today, more than ever, we need the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and through all that we do for our Lord.
Acts 2:1-13

Acts 1:12-26 - Waiting on the Holy Spirit

Part 3 in the Acts sermon series.
After Jesus' Ascension, the disciples followed His instructions to go into Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. While there, they decided they needed to elect a new disciples to take the place of Judas Iscariot. Were they led by the Holy Spirit, or did they act on their own? What about us? How often do we really wait to act until we hear from the Holy Spirit?
Acts 1:12-26

Acts 1:9-11 - The Ascension

Part 2 in the Acts sermon series.
Jesus stayed with His disciples for 40 days after His resurrection, speaking to them about the Kingdom of God. Then as they were praying, Jesus was taken up into Heaven right before their eyes. What did this Ascension mean for them, and what does it mean for us today?
Acts 1:9-11

Acts 1:1-8 - Be Spirit Filled and Spirit Led

Part 1 of the sermon series on the book of Acts.
After Jesus' resurrection, He appeared to the disciples and taught them for a period of 40 days before He ascended into Heaven. Jesus gave His disciples this command, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised...the Holy Spirit." Why did they need to wait, and what would the Holy Spirit's coming mean? Do we need the Holy Spirit today?

Acts 1:1-8

Luke 23:50-56 - The Significance of Jesus' Burial

Luke 23:32-49

Luke 23:35-38 - Jesus: King of the Jews, King Over All

Part 78 of the Book of Luke sermon series.
As Jesus hung on the cross, there must have been doubts in the minds of many of His followers as to whether He really was the Son of God. Why didn't He save Himself? Why didn't He call on heaven to rescue Him? But as recorded in Isaiah 55, "...so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." God had a plan before the foundation of the world, and this was part of His plan.
Luke 23:35-38

Luke 23:27-34

Jesus, on His way to Calvary, is mourned by women following Him. Luke briefly mentions the two thieves crucified on either side of Him. Jesus' crucifixion is prophesied in Psalms 22 and Isaiah 53.

Part 76 in the Book of Luke sermon series.
