From James 1:2-4 & 1 Peter 1:6-7. This sermon addresses the question, "If God is all-loving and all-powerful, why does he allow evil and suffering?" 

From Matthew 1:1-17. Looking at some of the stories behind the names in this genealogical list, we see how humanity had messed things up, but that God was faithful to bring about his promises. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Mark 1:1-5, 14-15; 6:12. As John the Baptist, Jesus, and the disciples all started their public ministries, Mark records them each starting with a message of repentance.  __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 98. Singing praises to the Lord is a good thing because he is worthy, but also because it helps us remember his salvation, righteousness, love, and faithfulness. Let's join with all the earth in praising God! __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 75. Although we will be tempted to live for ourselves and think too highly of ourselves, we have a better pattern to follow. We can choose to give God the praise he is worthy of and we can trust that he judges uprightly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 67. In this psalm, we see a three-part cycle: 1) God blesses us, 2) We should praise God, 3) God's salvation is to be known among all nations. There is a connection among all of these things. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 84. We know that our hearts should desire to be near to the Lord. We are blessed as we dwell with him. Wherever our hearts are at, let's learn the blessings of seeking and being with the Lord. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 27-28. Even though the Apostle Paul faced arrest and even a shipwreck, he kept proclaiming Jesus, just as he was told to do. As we follow Jesus, may we remember what God has told us, as well as his presence with us.

From Acts 25-26. Hope is a powerful thing. We should cling to it. And we should be able to explain our hope to others. God has given us great promises. Let's know them and proclaim them! __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 23-24. In regard to speaking about Jesus, some people might suggest that we "tone it down" a little bit. In these chapters, even though it got Paul in trouble, he kept speaking of Jesus. We can trust God to watch over us as we speak of Jesus, too. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 21-22. Following the account of Paul's journey to Jerusalem and his arrest there, we should ask questions like he did about how we can follow and serve Jesus. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 20:13-38. In this passage, we will see Paul's example in making disciples, as well as his instructions for church leaders to carry on after he left them. These things can help us learn a lot about how we can make disciples. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 20:1-12. In this passage, we see some strong hints of ministry strategy from the Apostle Paul. It includes both going with the Gospel message to make disciples, as well as gathering together with believers to grow in the faith. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From guest speaker, Steve Austvold (EFCA Missions Mobilizer and member of Cornerstone). This sermon looks at five reasons to pray, throughout the book of Acts. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 19:8-41. God moved powerfully to advance his word in the city of Ephesus. It can serve as a reminder of how God works, even today. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

He gave words of encouragement to Paul that can encourage us today to keep proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 17:16-34. We can learn many helpful things from looking at Paul's proclamation of the Gospel to the people of Athens. The God who made the world and everything in it wants us to know him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 17:1-15. In the cities of Thessalonica and Berea, we see some great examples of how to proclaim and receive God's Word. We would do well to improve in both of these areas. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 16:16-40. Our God has the power to break chains and set the prisoners free. That is true physically - it literally happened for Paul & Silas in jail - but it also is true spiritually, as God can rescue us from the chains of sin and death. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 15:36-16:15. At the start of what we call Paul's "second missionary journey," we see Paul rallying people to continue in the Lord's work. But everything didn't go as expected. There were difficulties. In this passage, we see a clear commitment to go - making and strengthening disciples. _____________________________________________________________________________...

From Acts 15:1-35. God was moving. People were coming to Jesus. But then a serious question came up that threatened to divide. Thankfully, God's people met together to make sure the Gospel was clear and that there could be unity among believers. __________________________________________________________________________________________________
