What are you going to do with the good news of Jesus? The Book of Acts, Chapter 28 fcc-online.org/messages

Salvation Is More Than Just Believing, It’s Living The Life He Commanded | Acts Chapter 25 by First Christian Church Champaign

Compromise is our way of getting our way instead of following God’s way.

Anything other than the trust of Jesus crumbles away.

In the Kingdom we are called to be co-ministers, not just co-habitants.

The pit of forsakenness is only filled by the depths of love.

The Book of Acts - Chapter 20

3 Questions to ask ourselves: What have I done in the name of Jesus? Am I only interested in God when I’m interested in what He can do for me? Do I trust God with my daily living, not just my eternity?

Our message is only powered by the Spirit of God.

How to tell people about Jesus: A – Affirm their reality. —Acts 17:22 C – Consider their reasoning. —Acts 17:23 T – Think through a new frame. —Acts 17:24-26 S – Steer towards Jesus. —Acts 17:27-32

Experiencing God’s will begins by seeking Jesus. God’s will is best experienced with others.

"Once we’ve found freedom in Christ, we help others strengthen and find theirs."

Strong disciples grow in their knowledge of God. Strong disciples have changed hearts. Strong disciples strengthen one another.

The Gospel changes everything, not just eternity.

Prayer is how we tune into the goodness and power of God.

History-making churches don't pursue history-making, they pursue the History-Maker: King Jesus.

You don't have to understand everything about God in order to trust that He is working in your life. Acts Chapter 10

Acts Chapter 9 | Unleash the Mission of Jesus by First Christian Church Champaign

Ever wonder what it would have been like the day after a world-changing event? The commotion, buzz, and energy would be palpable. So, what about a promised moment of thousands of years coming to fruition? Let’s look into Acts 8 and imagine what “church” would have been like the following week!

Are you a bad news first or good news first type of person? In chapter 7 of The Book of Acts, we see the first person to share the Good News, but leads them to an untimely “bad news” situation. The first witness to take the gospel with him to the grave! But like beauty from ashes, there’s encouragement to be found!

What makes for a good team? Whether in sports, theatre, or organizations, the best teams aren’t made of people of all the same types or talents. Rather, the best teams have diversity unified by a single goal or mission - and the church is no different! Chapter 6 of The Book of Acts shows how church is a team sport, not a solo act.

For the first few weeks or even months, the Apostles were cruising in their mission of helping new and more people follow Jesus. But, it was not always rainbows and butterflies. It’s one thing to get what you deserve, yet a whole other thing to get what you don’t deserve. For the apostles - and even disciples today - the question is not will it happen; rather, what will you do when it does?
