Harvest Church of Minden

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. 

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.

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. 

Acts 13:13-52 Paul and Barnabas travel to Pisidian Antioch to share the gospel message. In his first recorded presentation, Paul emphasizes the forgiveness of sins through Jesus' sacrifice as the only way to be justified before God. 

Acts 12:25-13:12

The Antioch church was diverse and Spirit led as they sent out their leaders on the first missionary journey to Cyprus. They confront a false Prophet boldly in order to see one man come to faith. We compare this approach to the recent events in our nation to stand for our faith. 

Acts 12:1-24

Today we cover the question of why James and not Peter, as James is beheaded and Peter is set free. Reflecting on our own reasons to follow Jesus in our daily life as he is or Savior and Lord. 

Acts 11:19-30

As the church in Antioch is planted, we see a model of Evangelism, Discipleship and Mercy that shaped the early church in a pleasure-seeking culture. The gospel changed the landscape of this culture as the term Christian is first used to describe the followers of Jesus.

Acts 10:23-11:18

The excitement and joy of Cornelius and his family believing in Jesus for salvation shows God's initiation towards the rest of the world. The gospel will break barriers and traditions in order to bring freedom to the soul. 

Acts 10:1-23

Through the special revelations of the visions, God shares his plan to open salvation for the gentiles. What gets in the way of the grace of God, is the religion that we may cling to. God is stripping that away for us. 

Acts 9:32-43 

As the record of ministry shifts to Peter, we study how he mirrors Jesus' ministry and how the church is beginning to expand the ends of the earth.
