Romans 15:17 - 22

Glory in Jesus Christ alone

Acts 9:32-43 - Tabitha: A Life Worth Imitating

Part 24 in the Acts sermon series.
In this section, we turn to the Apostle Peter, who was used by the Lord to touch two lives in dramatic ways. The first was a man who had been paralyzed for eight years and the second was a woman whose life touched many, but then she died, leaving them heartbroken. As we study how the Lord used Peter in these two situations, we see how we can be paralyzed by our circumstances, or dead in our sins, and by the touch of Jesus Christ, we can be healed and set free to live fully for His kingdom.
Acts 9:32-43

Acts 9:20-31 - Having a Heart to be Led by the Holy Spirit

Part 23 in the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, Saul (later known as the Apostle Paul) has become a full-on radical follower of Jesus Christ. He goes to the Damascus Church, who having heard of his threats against Christians, still welcome him as a Brother in Christ. Then he goes to Jerusalem where he encounters a different reception. Nevertheless, Saul being led by the Holy Spirit, fearlessly preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Acts 9:20-31

Acts 9:1-19 -- No One is Beyond God's Reach

Part 22 in the Acts sermon series.
All of us have family members or those we know whom we think are too sinful, too evil to ever change their ways or become a Christian. The early church thought that about Saul of Tarsus, but the Lord can reach anyone. No one is beyond His reach.
Acts 9:1-19

Acts 8:26-40 - The Reward for Obedience

Part 21 of the Acts sermon series.
Philip, one of the seven chosen deacons in the early church, was sent to the desert to minister. Because he obeyed the Lord, even if he did not understand why he was sent there, Philip was able to preach the gospel to someone God sent his way.
Acts 8:26-40

Acts 6:8-7:54 - Snapshot #1 of a Deacon - Stephen

Part 17 of the Acts sermon series.
In last week's message, we studied how the apostles chose seven men full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom to serve in the food distribution for the Greek widows. One of these men was Stephen, a man "full of grace and power", who did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. Jealously arose and some stirred up the people to accuse Stephen of blasphemy before the Sanhedrin. The defense of this common man, filled with God's Holy Spirit, should stir us as never before as we take our stand defending our Christian faith in these last days.
Acts 6:8-7:54

Acts 4:32-5:11 - The Early Church

Part 13 of the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, there are two major contrasting events of the early church. The first focuses on the unity of the believers as they were filled with the Holy Spirit and all their efforts surrounded preaching the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ. The second event caused great fear to fall on the church, but also showed how God views hypocrisy in His Church.
Acts 4:32-5:11

Acts 4:18-31 - Standing for Jesus Christ

Part 12 in the Acts sermon series.
Peter and John have been brought before the Sadducees after healing a lame man for teaching in the name of Jesus Christ. They were strongly ordered not to teach in "this" name anymore. Their response is one we need in our hearts for today.
Acts 4:18-31

Acts 4:1-17 - The Courage to Proclaim the Gospel

Part 11 in the Acts sermon series.
Peter and John were accosted by the religious leaders for teaching and proclaiming the name of Jesus as resurrected from the dead. When asked by what power or name they did this, Peter - filled with the Holy Spirit - boldly answered them. The courage to witness only comes when we spend time with the Lord.
Acts 4:1-17

Acts 3:1-16 - A Changed Life Testifies That Jesus Christ Lives

Part 9 of the Acts sermon series.
What motivates non-Christians to follow Jesus? Most of the time, they see the evidence that Jesus Christ lives and moves today through a life changed by His touch. What about your life? Is there a change because of following Jesus Christ?
Acts 3:1-16

Acts 2:14-37 -- By the Power of the Holy Spirit

Part 5 in the Acts sermon series.
On the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit has come and baptized the Apostles. Filled with Him, they began speaking in other tongues and people heard them preach the Gospel in at least 15 different languages. Many were amazed, but some accused the Apostles of drunkenness. The Apostle Peter stood up and by the power of the Holy Spirit explained to those listening what was happening. Because Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, many listened to Him, believed, and were baptized into the Church that day.
In these last days, we NEED the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the Word, to stand firm for His truth, and to love others the way Jesus does.
Follow Jesus. Obey His Word. Seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Acts 2:14-37

Luke 21:25-36

Part 65 in the Book of Luke sermon series.
Jesus is coming soon! We've all heard it, but as you read His Word, He makes it clear that His return is very soon. This message explains various prophecies in Scripture concerning what we commonly refer to as End Times, or the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Luke 21:25-36

No Lost Is Too Lost - Luke 23:32-43

EASTER MESSAGE
Do you have friends and family who you've tried over and over again to show the truth of Jesus Christ, and who have rejected the message and possibly ridiculed you for your beliefs? Are there those people you think have gone beyond the power of being redeemed by Jesus? Or maybe you have given up on yourself - thinking you've sinned too much to be forgiven by the Lord?
Then, this message should encourage you and cause you to see that in the eyes of our Savior, no one is beyond the reach of His love.
"No 'Lost' is Too Lost"

Luke 19:28-44

Part 58 in the Book of Luke sermon series. In this passage, Jesus will be using a pretty unusual method of entering Jerusalem, for a King, that is. Everything He did was intentional and was used to teach His disciples, both then and now.
Luke 19:28-44
