Acts 10:11-23

Todays message revisits Peter's vision but discusses it in terms of hearing from God. When God speaks, how do we know we are hearing from God and not some other source, such as our emotions or personal will? How are our perplexities and doubts converted into faithful and purposed obedience?

Acts 10:7-22

Every Christian who has ever been called into deeper faith has struggled with doubt. The Apostle Peter wrestled with his fears just like we do - until he allowed God's simple words to change his heart and mind. Acts 10 teaches us how to hear God calling us out of our fear and into his perfect will.

Every Christian who has ever been called to "more", called to go deep in their walk, has struggled with doubt. The Apostle Peter had them too and he didn't know what to do with them until he allowed God's simple words change his heart and mind. Acts 10 teaches us how to hear God call us out of our fear in order to see his will from his perspective.

Acts 10:1-8

In this sermon we are introduced to the mighty and meek Roman Centurion Cornelius. From all external and internal appearances he was a man who had everything, that is besides the one thing that would make him complete - - - to know Jesus Christ. God sends Peter in response to Cornelius's prayers; who or what has God put in your life to draw you to him? Will you resist or receive his answer to your prayers?

Acts 9:31-43

This weeks message provides us insight not just into the Apostle Peter’s ministry strategy, but also into his heart and mind. He was a man who was motivated by God’s word and will over his life and it formed a ministry pattern that we are still in wonder of today. What was his focus? What was his heart?

Acts 9:10-31

Last week we learned about Saul, the persecutor of the church who met Christ and became the Apostle Paul. This week we take a look at the earliest days of his ministry and how God used his testimony to subside the concerns of the early church who knew him as a dangerous individual. His example shows us how a testimony of faithfulness proves to everyone around us that God's love is alive in us.

Acts 8:1-9

This week we are introduced to Saul, soon to become the Apostle Paul. Prior to his conversion he had passions, purposes and a plans that ran counter to God's. When he met God all of that changed and he became the premier ensample for the NT believer. This study gives and object lesson on how to properly hear and respond to the voice of God.

Acts 8:25-40

Today we look at the work of Philip the Evangelist and consider "what made him an effective minister?". What were the principles that guided him in soul-winning? What are the character qualities that we need to be more prepared for the work of preaching the gospel?

Acts 8:14-24

A continuation on our story of Simon the Sorcerer who believed he could place of financial value on divine things. This passage teaches us a lot about our sinful temptation to look for personal gain in our spiritual lives. We also conduct an overview of the changes in the reception of the Holy Spirit in Acts.

Acts 8:9-24

In Acts 8:9 we meet Simon the Sorcerer, a man used to subvert the salvation of the Samaritan people. Often times we will encounter those who interfere with or even counterfeit true spirituality causing distractions in ministry. How do we guard against this kind of work and more importantly, how do we guard our hearts from becoming subverters ourselves?

Acts 8:3-8

This this second message that introduces us to the persecution of the early church, when Christians scattered with the gospel on their lips. They did not allow their circumstances to steal their message, in fact their circumstances were nothing more than opportunity to speak Christ!

Acts 8:1-3

After Stephen's death the church in Jerusalem enters an increasingly hostile ministry environment. People begin to scatter into the surrounding regions taking the gospel with them. In this message we consider a series of significant principles about hope, persecution and spiritual warfare.

Acts 7:14-60

In this study of Stephen's history lesson to the Jewish rulers, we have learned how Abraham had a relationship with God without a temple and we have seen how Joseph was rejected but God still used him to redeem his people and the whole world. In this study we learn about Moses: his heart & his identity. We also see the religious leaders exposed for who they truly are.

Acts 7:1-14

We have been studying the powerful message of Stephen preached in opposition to the religious rulers accusations against him. Last week we learned how Abraham followed by faith and by word, exposing the religious rulers inability to see God outside of the law and the temple. This week we learn about the life of Joseph, his rejection and the salvation that he brought to the world.

Acts 6:8- 7:7

Last week we were introduced to Stephen, a deacon in the church and a man of great wisdom. His power was his great faith that invited the Holy Spirit to speak mightily through him. In this message we find the Jewish people stirred up against Stephen, making accusations against him. Here we see Stephen respond with great clarity and peace in the midst of temptation - - a testimony to us of who we ought to be as ministers of the gospel.

Acts 7

This week, Pastor Brandon walks through some of the major points in our study of the Acts of the Apostles. We see how God has been moving in the early church and the persecution that followed. These elements come to a head with the story of Stephen, a testimony of true faith.

Acts 6:1-7

In this passage we find the early church dealing with perceived needs of their growing congregation. We learn from the apostles what it means to meet the needs of the flock while prioritizing what God prioritizes. Learn how the apostles dealt with their leadership void and the value of a biblical approach.

Acts 5:12-25

Last week we looked at what it meant to live an unsafe gospel life, one unafraid of risk. This week we look to the apostles as a testimony of faith that is unwavering. We ought to obey God rather than men!

Acts 5:12-25

The lost world has an obsession with safety, which is an aversion to difficulty, conflict, suffering, and pain. This culture of safety-ism has impacted God's people by producing complacent Christians, unwilling to take risks in faith. Acts 5 shows us a young church, willing to put its safety on the line for the sake of God's glory.

Acts 4:33-5:11

Here we see the church growing in numbers but also growing in strength. So often in churches today physical growth results in accommodations and compromises that eventually dilute the mission. What can we learn from these early believers to help us through times of transition? We also find two testimonies of giving: The Patron & The Impostors. What might we be holding back from God? Are we in danger of hypocrisy?

Acts 4:21-32

On the heals of oppression from the religious rulers the apostles return to their friends where a prayer meeting ensues. The early believers teach us great things from their prayer lives. What value does corporate prayer have? What should the content of our prayers be when the church comes together? What do we pray in times of ministry crisis and oppression?
