Calvary Prineville

Paul continues in his third missionary journey and ministers to the saints in Troas. The gathering was on the first day of the week, which gives us the model (prescription) of meeting on Sunday, listening to sermon, breaking bread together and observing the sacraments.

A special Christmas message, concentrating on some of the many prophesies of Jesus in the Old Testament and their fulfilment in the New.

As Paul preached and taught in Ephesus for a couple of years, many people believed, and extraordinary miracles began to happen - such as people being healed by Paul's handkerchief. Some itinerant Jews, posing as exorcists, began to invoke the name of Jesus. Paul confronted the demon in one man who caused the man to attack the seven sons of Sceva, who left bleeding and naked. The populace decided t...

In a message we need to hear frequently, Pastor Chris brings us back to Acts 15, and the attempt by the Jews to require the new believers to submit to circumcision. To them, grace was too easy. Surely more must be required. Not so! This was a pivotal point in the early church and is an ongoing problem in the church today. Some may think we need baptism to be saved, or be part of a specific church,...

In Antioch Paul ministers to a Jew name Apollos, an eloquent, learned man who was on fire for the Lord, although he only knew the baptism of John. Aquila and Priscilla took him aside and taught him more accurately, after which he went on his own mission trip to Corinth to encourage other believers and to refute the Jews. In Ephesus, Paul comes across some disciples who had followed John and believ...

Paul continues his second missionary journey in Corinth. Normally he would preach the gospel to the Jews who would stir up trouble for him, he would be beaten and then thrown out of town. In Corinth the Lord told Paul not to be afraid. As a result, he preached in the synagogue, was hauled before the authorities, released by the proconsul, and the Jews turned on each other.

Invited to the Areopagus by the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, Paul explains the "new doctrine" and how it relates to their "unknown god." He had five points: 1) God does not dwell in temples made by human hands; 2) He gives life to all; 3) He has determined the fate of every person and civilization so they might seek Him; 4) the world will be judged; and 5) He assured us of this by rising from...

Paul arrives in Athens, where he finds that there are more idols than there are men. The Athenians, it seemed, were given over to every form of idolatry, yet they were open to new ideas. As the philosophers heard about the teachings of Paul - teachings they had never heard - they became interested (TBC next teaching). Each of us must question what idols we are serving. Have we made idols out of po...

Paul and Silas journey to Berea, where they, as has been the norm, are persecuted by the Jews. However, while teaching in Berea they come across Jews who were open to the gospel, and not only listened to what Paul had to say but daily searched the Scriptures to see if what he said was true. That is the message today: We need to be diligent, daily, searching the Scriptures to find out the mind and...

Paul continues on his missionary journey, encouraging the various churches and reminding them that there will be suffering.

Paul and Barnabas preach to both Jews and Gentiles in the region of Lycaonia, but the people are divided, and some persecute them. Some, after witnessing the healing of a crippled man, seek to worship the two as gods, but are sternly rebuffed by Paul. Then he is attacked, dragged out of the city and stoned by the Jews. Left for dead, he is revived and immediately goes back into the city.

Paul and his companions attend synagogue in Antioch of Persidia, where, as according to tradition, they are asked to speak. He did and gave the Jews a history lesson that pointed to Jesus as the Messiah. Gentiles heard about this, and the gospel was presented to them as well. As a result, many believed.

Paul and Barnabas sail to Cyprus on their first missionary journey and preach the gospel in both the Jewish synagogues and to the gentiles. Along the way they came across a false prophet who was actually a sorcerer, and who tried to influence a local official from believing what was preached. Paul intervened and God struck the man with blindness.

Joe Papineau teaches from Proverbs 17

Note: The first part of this message wasn't recorded. We need to present ourselves to the Lord as an act of worship – a living sacrifice. People struggle with grace, considering it a license to sin, but grace makes us not want to sin. Our submission to the Lord is willing slavery – it’s our choice. But it’s difficult as sin and obedience are violent competitors. If we decide to be a slave to sin,...

The Church began to grow, and the Jerusalem church sent Barnabas to Antioch, to see what was going on. He encouraged the church and ministered to them, but then decided to find Saul to have him help. The church was encouraged that although they were saved, they needed to continue on with purpose, making Jesus not only Savior but also Lord.

Peter returns to Jerusalem and the news of him eating in a gentile’s house was already known. So Peter explains that how, through a vision, God called him to share the Gospel with the Gentiles as well as the Jews. Peter related that at first refused but the Lord rebuked him, and Peter obeyed. As a result, he shared with the Gentile Cornelius and his whole household, and a “Gentile Pentecost” happe...

In Caesarea a centurion named Cornelius, a devout and God-fearing man, was told in a vision to send for Peter, in Joppa. At the same time, Peter had a vision of all kinds of animals in a sheet, and God told him to eat. Peter protested since most were unclean to the Jews, but God said He had made everything clean. While still thinking about the vision, Cornelius' friends came for Peter, and God tol...

Peter leaves Jerusalem to minister to the young churches hungry to hear from someone who walked with Jesus. Arriving at Lydda he came upon Aeneas, a man who had been bedridden for eight years. Even as Peter stood by him he sensed the Lord’s healing, and he was healed, which caused all those who saw Aeneas afterward to believe in Jesus. Then he heals a woman named Tabitha, who had been dead for sev...

Paul teaches that because of Adam's sin, all mankind is born in sin. All have sinned and need redemption. One sinned and brought death to many. Then, through the sacrifice of Jesus, one Man died and brought life to many.
