Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus, but the humble story actually began in heaven.

Glen completes the study in the book of Acts by sharing how Paul passed the torch to the elders at Ephesus.

Paul returns to Ephesus and reveals some principles to remember when we are expanding community into a pagan land.

When Paul is rejected from sharing the gospel in the synagogue it doesn't mean church was over for him and other believers. See how they were led by the Holy Spirit to see church differently.

This week Will Butterfield shares the story of Paul's visit to Corinth and the ways real church was expressed. It certainly challenges our practices.

This week we see a new aspect of multiplication as Paul addresses Greek philosophers in Athens. Paul gives us a great example to follow.

As Paul and Silas began to minister in Philippi they faced some major strongholds that God intended to destroy. In this message Glen shares how God used their imprisonment to turn those strongholds into something sacred.

The Holy Spirit continued to guide Paul and Silas as they obeyed and made their way to Macedonia. The unique experiences they had in Philippi help us know how to join the Holy Spirit in our journey to multiply community.

When God begins to build the team of multipliers there are two characteristics that stand out. They need to be driven to know Christ and directed by the Holy Spirit.

Is there a possibility of division in the body of Christ that is an expression of unity? Yes. And in today's passage Paul and Barnabas show us how.

How does the Holy Spirit cause the church to respond when believing Jews try to add some of the old rules to the lives of new Gentile believers? The direction the community takes is suprising and displays again the grace of God.

The first stop for Paul and Barnabas when they were sent out to multiply the church was Barnabas' home of Cyprus. It makes sense that the first place we should share the gospel is in our home church and our home town. 

As Paul and Barnabas continued to spread the gospel under the leadership of the Holy Spirit they received a wide variety of responses. They were determined, however, to continue to respond to the Holy Spirit and not react to the responses of people. That makes all the difference when the community multiplies.

What happens when the Holy Spirit leads the community of believers to pray for something? In today's message we see God-exclusive activity and amazement in the church.

In today's  message we see how God used Peter to help Jewish believers overcome struggles with new community distinctives given by the Holy Spirit.

God is beginning to multiply the community called, "The Gathering Place." This is a timely message about how God prepares the messenger he will use for multiplication. 

Today Will reminds us that when believers are abiding in the Holy Spirit biblical community multiplies. Multiplication is the fruit of abiding.

We have been studying for seven months about what biblical community looks like. Today is a check-up to see if we are in our response to the Holy Spirit.

God does not expect us to remove fear and add faith to our lives. The Holy Spirit does that through his activity in our lives and in the community.

Hear the wonderful story of how God changed the life of a pastor who was in the ministry for 22 years!

There is a evangelistic progression that we can see in Acts 8-9. God is revealing to the church that it is only when the Holy Spirit works that someone is redeemed. That is never more clear than in the case of Saul of Tarsus.
