Acts 20:1-27 – None Of These Things Move Me
As Paul continues his farewell tour visiting various cities that he has ministered to, he stops in Miletus for a special heart to heart with the Elders from Ephesus. Here we see Paul the Pastor pour out his heart of love. And in this discourse we look at Paul’s resolution to serve the Lord faithfully to the end. Nothing will deter or discourage him from finishing his race. Great words of encouragement and challenge to us as well.
Bible Text: Acts 20:1-27
Ministry in Ephesus
On his third missionary trip Paul makes his way to Ephesus. He has an extended stay here where the gospel goes out to all of Asia. God was doing a good work while Satan continued try and stop this work. But the Word of God prevailed and many came to know Jesus.
Bible Text: Acts 19:1-41
Multiplying Ministry
Paul moves on to Corinth – capital of carnality! But it’s here that he stays for a year and a half because this is where there is great emphasis on discipleship. Seeing people get saved is great, but as we look at chapter 18, discipleship is also key.
Bible Text: Acts 18:1-28
Acts 17 – Living Upright in an Upside Down World
Paul continues on in his second missionary journey. He comes to Thessalonica where we see threatening. Then he moves to Berea where we see believing. And then on to Athens where we see apathy. In all places there is mixed responses, but God is faithful to draw out those that respond to the Word and receive salvation. And we see some great examples from Paul of how to share the gospel.
Bible Text: Acts 17:1-34
Second Mission Trip
Paul and Silas head out on the second recorded missionary journey in the book of Acts. And God brings along some new companions, new converts, and new challenges. But through it all, Paul and Silas continue on praising God for all things. He is good and never fails!
Bible Text: Acts 16:1-40
Hold Fast: The Jerusalem Council
A crucial moment came for the early church when certain men came up to Antioch to challenge the Gentile believers and promote the idea that these Gentiles needed to convert to Judaism to be saved. It would undue everything that Jesus has already done. So the leaders of the church met in Jerusalem to decide what should be done.
Praise the Lord that they held fast to grace!
Bible Text: Acts 15:1-41
First Mission Trip Completed
Paul and Barnabas continue on their mission trip with great perseverance, even undergoing a near death experience. But their love for people and desire to share the gospel wins out. They return back to Antioch (the sending church) with a great report of all that God has done.
Bible Text: Acts 13:42-14:28
First Mission Trip
Paul and Barnabas are sent out by the church at Antioch to go and preach the gospel to areas that have not yet heard. And not only do we see the first mission trip in this chapter, but we see the first recorded sermon of Paul. Listen in to see what God has in store.
Bible Text: Acts 13:1-41
God’s Purposes Prevail
How do you handle a crisis? How do you deal with trials? Acts 12 brings us to another crisis in the church as Herod begins to harass the church, even putting James to death and Peter in prison. How would you respond to that? Take a look with us as we unwrap this situation and learn some important truths.
Bibel Text: Acts 12:1-25
Grace-full Christians
Some of the Jewish believers weren’t to happy about what took place with Peter in Acts 10. But it gave Peter an opportunity to retell the important event where God opened up the Gospel to all people!
God’s grace is huge. And we should be living it out in a tangible way.
Bibel Text: Acts 11:1-30
A Vision That Changed The World
The Lord prepares both Peter and Cornelius for something monumental – the good news going to an entire group of people outside of Israel. This paved the way now for the Gospel to reach to the ends of the earth. It’s a pivotal point in history where we see Jews and Gentiles being incorporated together as one through faith in Jesus Christ!
Bibel Text: Acts 10:1-48
It Was Not Possible
With God all things are possible, right? Well, as we look at our message today, we see something that was not possible. Listen in as we see what that is and how that relates to the resurrection of Jesus!
