Wait! Acts 1:4-8 June 8, 2015 Jesus last command to the disciples was, Wait! Time spent waiting often becomes a paradox. Go-but wait Conquer by yielding Reign by serving Exalted when humbled Free by becoming bond servants Strongest when weakest Live by dying First is last Often what we expect when we are waiting is not what occurs. Acts 1:6 Waiting gives us an eternal perspective. Romans 14:17 1....

John 21:1-19 Do you need a second chance? Have you wondered if my failure is too great for God’s grace? Maybe Peter’s story is your story too. Jesus set Peter up for a second chance. Matthew 28:10 Peter left Jerusalem a failure, a washout, a has-been. Sound like someone you may know. Who many times have you said, “Why me, why here, why now?” When God sets us up for a second chance, He is really se...

This episode explores the crucial question: "What Comes Next?" After achieving milestones like marriage, healing, or church mergers, it's vital to seek God's wisdom for the next season. Drawing from Solomon's request for wisdom, we learn that heavenly wisdom, found in Christ and through the Holy Spirit, is essential for progress, vision, sacrifice, making room for the Holy Spirit, generous giving,...

1 Samuel 17:4-11 How do you see your giants? As an insurmountable obstacle or an opportunity for God to show His power? “In any situation, what you ARE determines what you see, what you SEE determines what you DO” Hadden Robinson There are two ways to view giants: 1. A limited view that brings fear. 1 Samuel 17:24-25 ‘defy’ means ‘to taunt, ridicule, humiliate’ Satan want you to cower so he can mo...

John 20:19-31 For the disciples, the Resurrection, didn’t immediately erase their fear, uncertainty, or questions. They had seen the empty tomb, but they still struggled to understand what it all meant. They were left wondering, what now? We all have wrestled with doubt, but Jesus is not threatened by our doubts; He meets us in them. Doubt isn’t the end of faith; it’s often the beginning of deeper...

The Resurrection of Jesus is a definitive invasion of God! The dawn of that first Resurrection Sunday revealed the power of God beyond anything humanity had ever known. God used opposition to reveal His opportunity. We live in a world in which God gets the last word. The Resurrection was never an impersonal concept of popwer, but a personal encounter with power. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 This power doe...

The four Gospels give the biography of Jesus. Four different writers with four different perspectives. Yet all four, focus on the last week of Jesus life. 35% of each book is devoted to the last week. Matthew, Luke, Mark (Peter) and John, all felt we could not understand Jesus unless we understood this last week of His life. Palm Sunday is a Day and a Doorway. It matters because of the paradoxes r...

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING: TIPS OR TITHE GENESIS 4:1-7 Why did God reject Cain’s offering and accept Abel’s? It was a matter of the heart! Cain tipped God; Abel obeyed God. Do we have the heart of Cain or Abel? When it comes to our finances, who are we going to thank and who are we going to trust? What we do with our finances reveals the condition of our heart. Truth: God doesn’t need our money; He...

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING I KINGS 17:10-22 She Was Afraid! 1 Kings 17:13-16 When we obey God, there is ALWAYS enough! She Was Tested! 1 Kings 17:15-16 Who are we going to thank and who are we going to trust? More money is not the answer-More faith in God is! Faith activates God and moves His hand in our behalf. Tithing is NOT giving; Tithing is RETURNING! Truth: Generosity begins at 11%! Some argue...

AUTHORITY ISSUES John 14:15 John 15:14 Truth: God ALWAYS works through Authority! SAUL: 1 Samuel 13:11-12-Michmash Saul was surrounded by the Philistines. Notice: He said, He thought, He felt We take the same steps when we leave the authority of God! 1 Samuel 15:1-23-Amalekites -God said destroy them. Saul destroyed 95% and kept 5%, that is NOT obedience. When we are rebellious, we are more like t...

Mark 2:1-12 The text is a story of four friends who went the extra mile to get their friend to Jesus. His situation was hopeless. There was no medicine, treatment, or cure. He needed something supernatural. Note: The four didn’t try to ‘fix’ their friend but took him to Jesus, someone who could ‘fix’ him. The Bible doesn’t name these four, but they loved their friend enough to get him to Jesus. It...

Strength through Power-Gifts of Healings Acts 1:8 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 Our path to strength is the dynamic of the Spirit of God. It is not the power of human personality, organization or eloquence. Strength through power is displayed through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Gifts of Healings defined: the ability to be used as an instrument of God in a supernatural way to restore health. Why is this...

Strength through Power Acts 1:8 Matthew 28:18-19 It is an amazing thing that God would choose to trust a group of quitters to take the message of salvation to the world. The disciples had all quit. They were discouraged, depressed, and defeated. Yet 40 days with Jesus and they had a change of attitude and perspective. That is what we all need, dose of Jesus. Our Mission is not to be man pleasing b...

Jesus told the disciples to stay in Jerusalem until the promise of the Father was fulfilled. That promise was “power from on high.” Luke 24:49 Jesus reiterated this command and promise in Acts 1:8. Holy Spirit gives us power to bring the strength to accomplish His plans. Three significant truths about His coming: 1. Holy Spirit has been poured out and promised to all believers. Holy Spirit wasn’t...

The word for “tongues” gloce'-sah...

Acts 2:1-13 Holy Spirit’s power to give us the strength to accomplish His plans! Acts 2:1 “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.” We are Better Together! Pentecost means ‘fifteth’. Refers to the Jewish feast of Shavuot- 50 days after Passover. Pentecost is a harvest festival! Acts 2:41 ‘So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day ab...

The Name above all Names Matthew 1:21-25 December 8, 2024 In Biblical times, names had meaning. People often lived up to their name.
