This week, we’re releasing the first of two special podcasts discussing topics that affect us all in some way - Fear and Death. We recognise these issues aren’t always easy to listen to or discuss, but, as we take time to consider the biblical perspective and hear from two of our church family about their experiences, we hope that you’ll be left enlightened and challenged.

Acts 6.1-7. The growth that the early church was experiencing had so many good things going for it, but it wasn’t without its problems. In this week's passage, we’ll discover how the early church dealt with these issues. The selection of seven Spirit-filled men will prove to be instrumental in the spread of the gospel beyond Jerusalem. 27 March 2202 (Mothering Sunday).

Acts 5.12-42. Things have recently ramped up for the early church. They've encountered the Holy Spirit, and faced opposition and persecution from the religious elite. They've even seen the consequences for those who toy with God's holiness. Now, the early believers head into a new age as the gospel message begins to grow and spread to Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. 20 March 2022.

Acts 5.1-11. The sudden, dramatic deaths of Ananias and Sapphira served to purify and warn the church.

Acts 4:1-22. John and Peter are about to have the first of many run-ins with the religious establishment in Jerusalem.

Acts 3.1-26. Peter and John meet a lame beggar. The name, sex, age, and nationality of the beggar is not stated, but what we do know is that he is a marginalised, homeless, and poor soul who was always at the entrance of the Temple. Peter and John demonstrate that healing through the name and in the power of Jesus brings new life. What does this encounter mean for us today? 20 February 2022.

Acts 2.41-47. Peter has just given the first Christian evangelistic sermon. The response is tremendous: three thousand people repent, are baptised and join the early Christian community. What does this resulting community look like? 13 February 2022.

Acts 2.14-36. Full of the Holy Spirit and God's powerful word, Peter's sermon speaks to the heart of many and a crowd of thousands turns to Jesus and accepts Him as their Saviour. 6 February 2022.
