Harvest Church of Minden

#336 Advent of Hope

As we begin Advent, we talk about the hope we have in Jesus and how that should impact our daily lives as a believer. 

#335 Ephesus

Acts 18:18-19:10 Today Paul makes it to Ephesus and Apollos travels to Corinth as the Great Commission is being accomplished and the church is becoming more accurate in their understanding. 

#334 Corinth

Acts 18:1-17

Paul travels to Corinth to share the gospel. He also makes tents, shakes the dust off his clothes, and wins a tribunal. Paul learns to be content in all situations and trust that the Lord will protect him as he completes his commission. 

#333 Paul in Athens

Acts 17:16-34

We continue to follow Paul in the missionary journey as he goes to the idol-filled Athens. He is provoked by the idolatry and shares the gospel message from the basics to an unbelieving people, and shares the warning of the upcoming judgement. The times of ignorance are past, the command is to repent!

#332 Approach to Evangelism

Acts 17:1-15 Paul and Silas move on to Thessalonica and Berea to share the gospel. They make a connection through a strong point of contact and they expound the scriptures, while achieving differing results. The picture of evangelism and the response of diving into the scriptures is a wonderful application for us today.

#331 More Converts at Philippi

Acts 16:16-40 

Paul casts of the demon from a slave girl, and shares the gospel with the jailer. The gospel message is uniting people from different backgrounds under the banner of Christ. 

#330 Getting to Macedonia

Acts 16:6-15

AS Paul and the missionary team faces closed doors and the opportunity to despair, they press into the Lord and follow his leading of where the gospel is to be preached. How we handle the open and closed doors in our lives needs to reflect our dependence on him and not our own desires.

#329 Second Missionary Journey

Acts 15:36-16:5 

The start of the second missionary journey begins with a sharp disagreement, as well as a going of separate ways. Through this, more missionaries are being developed, more churches are encouraged, and more churches will be planted. The early church is beginning to wrestle with the question of what would need to be done for the sake of the gospel. 

#328 Jerusalem Council

Acts 15:1-35 The question of Salvation by faith alone is brought up to the new church. The teachings of works-based salvation are infiltrating the church, and these teachings continue today. It is simple and difficult to understand that grace is a free gift.

#327 Dealing with Opposition and Confusion

Acts 14 

Following Paul and Barnabas through Asia Minor as they finish up their first missionary tour, we are able to see how they are faithful to their calling even in the face of opposition, misunderstandings and persecution.
