Acts#35 || Acts 21: 1 to Acts 26:32 Paul is arrested in Jerusalem
Matt speaks on the difficult balance of sanctification that comes at the price paid for us. We follow Paul from the beginning of his arrest in Jerusalem to his testament before Herod Agrippa II. There are two things happening in these passages, Paul’s personal suffering and God’s plan for his kingdom. Where are you up to in embracing this tension in your life?
Acts #33 || 20:13-38 Clean Hands, Fierce Wolves, and What Really Matters
Paul meets with his beloved elders from the church in Ephesus, and encourages them to embrace suffering for God, declare the whole counsel of God, and beware the wolves set against God.
Acts #32 || 19:20-41 Riot, Rinse and Repeat
Matt brings a message from the end of Acts Chapter 19. The word of God has the power to blow up the foundations of any culture. The question is, are you willing to stand on the Word with Jesus and be criticized by those who don’t like the message?
Acts #31 || 19: 13-16 The Supernatural
Pastor Matt reads passages from Acts 19 and Ephesians 6 discussing what the Bible says about the supernatural in this world. Pushing back on our anti-supernaturalist culture, he teaches on on how we can combat, react and interact with the supernatural through the word of God and the power of Jesus.
Acts #30 || 20:1-16 Eutychus Raised from the Dead
As we witness Paul's travels through the gospel, we see the encouragement he serves to others of faith during persecution and and struggles and the assurance Paul has in his mission and walk with God.
Acts #27 || 17:16-34 A Modern Athens' Areopagus
Pastor Matt concludes Chapter 17 in Acts with the story of Paul in Athens. Paul spoke a unique sermon to the people in the Areopagus, because they were the first group to have no prior knowledge of God and His church. Paul shows us how to approach the modern day post-post Christianity and how to use cultural language to reveal God to them.
Acts #26 || 17:1-15 Two cities, two responses
Paul's ministry takes him to two cities whose response to God is very different. In both of these cities there is an established synagogue, but they are quite different from each other in terms of spiritual tone.
Acts #25 || 16:6-20
In this sermon, we read along with Paul who records the beginnings of the Church in Philippi, where Paul and Timothy face great trials and success. This is where we meet Lydia and witness her come to faith.
Acts #24 || 16:1-5 Trusting God in the Confusion
We are returning to Acts and continuing where we left off. In these verses we are focusing on the confusing way that God works to spread his gospel and change lives. How we are to trust him even when it seems that it isn’t logical.
Acts #22 || 15:21-35 What about the Law?
Acts 15 represents the early church encountering their first theological conundrum: what exactly is a Christian? What does one have to do to become one?
This week in part 2, we focus on the second part to the complication: what are Christian's supposed to do with the Law of Moses?
