Gospel City Church

As members of the human race, we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. In this week’s lesson we’ll look at the cause of these hurts, hang-ups, and habits, their consequences, and their cure. At the end of the message, we will be joined by one of the members of Gospel City Church, Marnin, who shares a little bit of his story with us.

We’ve all been hurt by other people, we’ve hurt ourselves, and we’ve hurt others. And, as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. And the question we all face is, “Where do we go from here?”

There is one picture that captures the essence of Christmas better than any other. It’s a scene that unfolded on the very first Christmas day and conveys the point of the history-altering event...

The night before Peter was scheduled to be executed, we find him sleeping soundly in his prison cell. How is this possible? We’ll revisit the storm on the Sea of Galilee in search of answers.

The Gospel explodes in the city of Antioch, as the first Jew/Gentile mixed church is born.

Peter visits the household of Cornelius and preaches the Gospel. What happens next changes the course of history.

God continues moving the Gospel outward toward the Gentiles, as He gives Peter a strange vision and commands him to go to the house of Cornelius, a Roman centurion.

The focus shifts from Saul to Peter, and we see God work two remarkable miracles through him as he travels across Judea, ministering to the scattered Church.

Three years after his astonishing conversion, Saul travels to Jerusalem seeking fellowship with the Apostles and the Church. His initial attempts are rejected, as the brothers wrestle with fear and prospect of walking through some very difficult forgiveness.

When Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, everything changed. In this study, we’ll examine the details of one of the most famous events in the Bible, and how it changed the course of history.

The Gospel continues moving outward, as Philip is sent by the Lord to minister one-on-one to a marginalized Ethiopian Jew who is searching for God in one of the greatest Old Testament prophecies, the “Servant Song” of Isaiah 52 and 53.

Persecution crashes down upon the young Church in Jerusalem, scattering her members across Judea, Samaria, and beyond. As they flee, they preach the Gospel and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah. This study focuses in on some amazing developments that unfold as the Gospel is preached in Samaria.

As we witness the final part of Stephen's address before the Sanhedrin, we learn what it looks like to follow Jesus in life and death.

Stephen continues his address to the Sanhedrin, highlighting Israel’s tragic history of rejecting God’s messengers and wasting opportunities to be delivered from slavery, exile, and aimless wandering.

Stephen was one of the greatest men who ever lived. In Part 1, we’ll study his rise to prominence in the Early Church, the adversity he encountered, how he answered charges of blasphemy brought against him, and what his message means for us today.

In this message, we’ll examine 4 marks of a healthy, growing church. We can observe each of them on the Early Church in the Book of Acts. And by God’s grace, we will see these same marks on the local church today.

Why are so many people uninterested in the Church today? Why do unbelievers stay away? Why do a lot of believers seem indifferent? What if part of the reason is that much of the time, the Church is boring? But what if people experienced the Church today as it is recorded for us in the Book of Acts? “Boring” would be the last word you would use to describe the Church back then! And I think that thi...

How are Christians today supposed to view the issue of financial giving to the Church? Is there a difference between the old covenant commands given to Israel and the instructions given to the Church by Jesus and the Apostles? We’ll tackle these controversial questions by (as always) looking at Scripture and seeing what the Lord has to say to His people.

The joy of the Church’s first few weeks of life is interrupted by two shocking deaths, as God sends a clear message to His Church about the seriousness of lying and hypocrisy.

As the Early Church continues to grow, the Holy Spirit stirs her members to radical financial generosity. As we study this move of God, we’ll discuss social justice, the mandate Jesus has given His Church, and how we can discern who we’re called to help as individuals, couples, families, and a church.

A boldness marks the Church in the Book of Acts that was necessary in light of the persecution the Church faced back then. And this same boldness needs to mark the Church today if we are going to continue to follow Jesus faithfully in a world that stands in opposition to Him.

God works a miracle through Peter and John, who direct all the glory back to Jesus and call the gathering crowd to repent. Their example reveals the one thing those who desire to be used by God need to understand.

How should Christians view the issue of abortion? Is it reasonable to expect non-believers to share our views? Is abortion sometimes necessary? Jeff dives into these important questions from biblical, ethical, logical, and medical perspectives to provide some answers.

the early church devoted themselves to. We’ll contemplate how and why disciples of Jesus are to devote themselves to those same things in the Church today.

The work of making disciples is not finished after someone is born again. Jesus didn’t commission His Church to go and make converts; He commissioned us to go and make disciples. The real work of discipleship begins after a person becomes a Christian. In this message, we begin examining what discipleship looked like in the first months of the Early Church.
