#311 Motives of Giving

Acts 4:32-5:11 

Contrasting Barnabas to Ananias and Sapphira allows us to see the heart motives of generosity and how people treat the holiness of God. Too often we get comfortable in our sin, doctrines and church life, to truly allow the gospel to change us in the way that only the Spirit of God can. 

#310 The Only Way is the Truth

Acts 4:1-31

Continuing from last week, we follow Peter and John and their defense for Christ, the authority and name by which this man is healed. The church faces its first oppression, and spend time in prayer for the more to come. 

#309 Healing of the Lame Man

Acts 3

Looking at the gift of healing and the miraculous nature of the Spirit working in the early church to proclaim Jesus as Christ is a wonderful theme through the book of Acts. Healing and miracles can make us uncomfortable, which is need to challenge our lukewarmness. 

#308 Fellowship of the Church

Acts 2:42-47

Looking at the internal practices of the early church can allow us to see the will of God for his body to move in the communities they are in. Devoting themselves to his purposes and vision. 

#307 Pentecost

Acts 2:1-41 The promised gift from Jesus came to the disciples and the gospel was shared to add 3000 to their number. God was glorified! 

#306 The Next Apostle

Acts 1:12-26 We study the selection of the next Apostle and God's sovereign will continuing to guide the believers as they are dedicated to the word and devoted to prayer. 

The Acts of the Apostles Intro

Acts 1:1-11

Introducing our new study through the book of Acts. We look at the background and outline of the book as given in 1:8 and the charge that is given to the church to be his witnesses as we await his return.

#304 Our Redeemer

Luke 24

This Resurrection Sunday we focus in on how Jesus has perfectly redeemed us, and how the gospel message is simple and clear. We need to remember who he is and what he has done for us. 

#303 Love's Reward

Ruth 4

A Kinsman Redeemer must have the right to redeem, the ability to redeem, and the willingness to redeem. Boaz has all of these qualities as he reflects a beautiful portrait of Christ.

#302 Love's Request

Ruth 3 Looking at the plan of Naomi for them to find rest shows the importance of what a kinsman redeemer brings about, rest. For Ruth and Naomi, this rest would be reflected in marriage. For us as believers rest is found in the redemption of Christ
