Pastor Dale Benson Romans 1:18-32 Paul makes the case in his letter that all people have the opportunity to know God. Watch this video from Tim Mackie (from 0:33-2:45): https://youtu.be/GQI72THyO5I God does not abandon us - He lets us choose. God tells us there will be earthly consequences if we choose to believe the lie. “There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ an...

Pastor Dale Benson Acts 21:1-12 Today I'll compare a journey of mine, to that of Paul's journey. We will focus on Acts 21:1-12 No matter what is going on in Paul's life, during his journey, he continues to preach and share the love of Christ - even to his death. On this journey of the Christian life, we will all face obstacles. The world will tell us that the obstacles are not worth the fight. The...

Pastor David Morrison Acts 17:16-34 Are you eager for what God has for you today? GOD WANTS TO REALLY KNOW ME, AND FOR ME TO REALLY KNOW HIM There's a single word to focus on…it’s the word “Know” • The Hebrew word for Know is Yada • The Greek word that is similar is Ginosko “To know God is to know Him through personal experience and relationship.” As God is the creator – it is natural for humanity...

Pastor John Keating Acts 16:13-14, 18-20 Acts 16:13-15 Lydia & the purple sheet. Acts 16:18 A person who is “making noise.” Acts 16:27-34 Paul and Silas are put in an inner cell. Acts 16:34 The jailer received God’s grace. Much like this young man, we spiritually dose off…we let our spirits just fall out the window, to die. It’s more than sitting and listening to preachers. It’s because of ind...

Pastor Dale Benson Acts 15 Today we will try to answer these two questions: Who gets in? How do they get in? Is it a matter of the law? Is it a matter of grace? Read this letter (Book of Galatians) written by Paul, as if you are receiving it today. Old Covenant = sacrificial system New Covenant = one sacrifice with a reminder

Pastor Dale Acts 11:19-20 Acts 9:19-31 The life of Saul/Paul shines a little light on how a fellow Christian was treated by early believers. Some of it was good. Some of it was not so good. By the time we get to chapter 11, things are looking a little rosier for Saul/Paul, and for those of you who aren’t aware, Paul wrote between 25-30% of the New Testament. But things weren’t always that rosy for...

Pastor Carlos Acts 12: 1-16 Read Acts 12:1-16 Injustice: Because they were preaching the gospel of Christ, the disciples were persecuted, punished, and some were killed. Purpose: It can be a bit difficult trying to find God's purpose during difficult situations. In Acts 12 , the church was going through a very difficult situation. They realize that Peter is in prison, probably he can be dead soon....

Pastor Mark Fuller Acts 8-10 Hinderances are the same today as they were in the early church. Let's identify them & ask the Holy Spirit to remove them so a new generation of outsiders will feel welcome among us, today & always. Philip - Prioritize my preferences (Acts 8:26-40) Saul - Religious blind spots (Acts 9:3-9) Peter - Deep seated prejudices (Acts 10:9-11) The common denominator: It...

Pastor David Morrison Acts 6:1-7 “So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.” Because this is what we pursue in our lives – we want to thrive and see growth – we want to see things that we put our hands on to grow. I started to reflect on certain blind spots and temptations I have that leads to the...

Pastor Dale Benson Acts 5:12-42 Happy Father’s Day! Last week Pastor John kicked off our summer series Rivers and Roads in the city of Jerusalem. We saw Peter and John healing the lame man at the entrance to the temple. They end up before the Sanhedrin. There is such an uproar or praise to God that the Sanhedrin can’t do anything to Peter and John, so when they get back and tell the church, everyo...

Pastor John Keating Acts 3:1-10 Are you headed to a body of water, lake, river, ocean…this summer? Wherever you’re headed, you’ll find a connection to the Book of Acts – as we go through this journey together, of Rivers & Roads. How many times do we find ourselves on a road or in a river, not where/how we want to be? Looking for help, and/or needing saved. Acts 3:4 – Jesus talking to men on a...

Paul's letter: Salt "refrigerated," "seasoned,"..."Neosporin" - of its time Does it need to be said? Does it need to be said right now? Is now the time? Does it need to be said by me? "Taste & see that the Lord is good!" - Psalm 34:8

Pastor Dale Benson Acts 2:37-41 Read Acts 2:37-41 Repent Be baptized You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit What the Holy Spirit is not: A spiritual replacement A physical discipline replacement A way to gain "super powers" When we're filled with the Holy Spirit, there's opportunity where we have the power to witness for Christ. Live boldly.

Pastor David Morrison Acts 1:15-26 Read Acts 1:15-26 A Christian call is our belief that God has a purpose for us, that He will reveal as we follow Him. God has a purpose for your life. "If God calls you to be a minister, don't stoop to becoming a king." -Spurgeon We find the call to follow Jesus develops not just from following Jesus but to teach others to follow him, too. A few insights about th...

Pastor Dale Benson Acts 1:1-14 He gives us instructions through this story: 1. Do not leave 2. You will be baptized by the Holy Spirit 3. What about restoring Israel? Is it time? -What about healing America, is it time? 4. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you 5. You will be my witness Μαρτερέο Martureo - Martyr We also look at Acts 22:19-20 6. They prayed constantly and in un...

Pastor John Keating John 21:24-25 “This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down.” “We know that his testimony is true.” John 14:26 CLEMENT of ALEXANDRIA, “John ‘Conscious that the outward facts had been set forth in the Gospels, was urged on by his disciples, and divinely moved by the spirit, to compose a spiritual gospel.’” John 14:12 Hebrews 13:8

Pastor David Morrison John 21:18-22 Life happens in seasons – what do we do when we enter a season of waiting, a season where we don’t know totally where we are headed? “The main temptation during seasons of waiting (when I don’t know where I am headed) is to fall into the trap of comparison.” This trap of comparison and competition gets us in trouble all the time! Comparison does only one thing,...

Pastor Dale Benson John 21:1-19 1. The issue of love (agape vs philo) -Jesus fully loves us -He love us unconditionally -He sacrificially loves us 2. The issue of reconciliation -In Peter's case, he was asked the same question 3x -It doesn't compare to denying Jesus 3x -Jesus does not ask us to forgive others more than he's willing to forgive us 3. The issue of your calling -The first call & l...

Pastor Dale Benson Matthew 28:16-20 But your doubts don't change what God has done. Have you doubted God this year? We all share the same mother and father who doubted God’s good will for their life and wanted to trust themselves rather than Him! Scripture is too clear to doubt. Your chains are gone ! You’ve been set free ! Read Matthew 28:16-20
