Signs and Wonders 12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes…

Introduction: This morning I want us to do something a little different. We can do that because we’re a family not a Christian entertainment center. I want us to look at some scriptures together from the book of Acts. The message this morning springs from several things. Our bible study at Woo Hoo. We…

Easter and Christmas are probably the most significant days in the Christian faith. The birth of Jesus and His resurrection, major components of the gospel. Instead of spending just one week focusing on the Easter event, I wanted us to spend a few weeks after Easter reflecting on the resurrection and…

Last time, we saw people in the church giving to the church so the needs of those in the church could be met (again, I will note the main focus was to care for those believers in the church in need).

Is God worth my time? How much of my time am I willing to give to God? Once a week? Once a day? All day? Every moment of the day? What if we were to be challenged to focus on God all day? Before and during every conversation, or decision? Often times we say that we don’t see the things of God, but how…

We’re Covered John 17:15 “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.” As we enter our study on the work of devilish “psyops” in the Book of Acts, we should remember that as disciples we are protected by Jesus’ prayers as we minister to this…

A man was hired to paint a church, but to save money, he thinned the paint with water. After finishing the job, a big storm came and washed all the paint away.

Review In Acts 5:1-11 , we saw Satan strike again at the church in Jerusalem. This time he attacked not with physical persecution, but with sin among the believers. Peter had to confront Ananias and Sapphira’s sin. It was the first time that discipline was exercised in this church and the consequences…

Why do we do things that we know aren’t good for us? I eat too much bread. I put too much sugar in my coffee. I don’t eat fruits and vegetables like I should. Those things I do but rarely feel conviction about them. But over the last few weeks I’ve noticed that I watch and read too much news. It’s not…

So far we have seen: The Mission: You will be my witnesses (martyrs) The Methods: Prayer and Proclamation The Means: The Holy Spirit We saw all of these coming together in Acts 4:29-31 Now, Lord, consider their…

Main Idea The Gospel comes with two sharp edges This passage of scripture and the formulation of the main idea of the text got me thinking about swords. I love swords… even at age 40.
