1.   Centered.  Centered on Jesus’s Command. “All authority has been given to me”   Jesus, the risen Savior, is taking His rightful place as King.  Before He ascends into heaven He gives His marching orders. 2.   Open Jesus tells us to be open to wherever God calls us. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Sam...

1.   The Reliability of God’s Word The first question in the Bible was about the reliability of God’s word. “Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals the Lord God poihad made.  He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” – Gen. 3:1 Let’s look at the reliability of God’s word. Consistency -         66 Books -         Written over 1,50...

Hebrews 11:32-40 NIV 1. Faith’s Power through Scripture 32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets….. Earlier in this chapter the author commends multiple biblical heroes including Noah, Abraham, Moses and others. Here at verse 32 he says there’s not enough time to continue although there are many more....

SERMON NOTES Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:31-33 NLT...

SERMON NOTES 4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also...

The World Has Been a Mess Briefly Explain The Fall of Man in Genesis 3 and free will. Evil is real:  Richard Foster says, “God becomes a reality when he becomes a necessity.”  Dark valleys make God more real to us.  The world is not how it was designed to be. “No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.” C.S. Lewis We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned...

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[ a ]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he w...

“Tychicus will tell you all the news about me.  He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.  I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.  He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.  They will tell you everything that is happening here.  My fellow pri...

1.   Be devoted to Prayer He will ask the Church to pray specifically for opening doors in order that he may be able to preach the gospel even though he is in chains (v.3).  But first, he asks the Church to be watchful and thankful while praying.  When I think of Paul’s request to be watchful, I think of a lifeguard canning the ocean making sure that nothing is wrong or under attack.  Thankfulness...
