7.7.21 // Parable of the Vineyard Owner

7.4.21 // 4th of July: America's History

Our Acts 242 Discussion follows last week's teaching on the Parable of the Good Shepherd!

6.27.21 // Acts 4:9-20

Join us as we take a closer look at how the Lord is our Good Shepherd, out of John 10!

When the Sanhedrin asked Peter and John "By what power or by what name have you done this?", it was just the open door that Peter was looking for to preach the Gospel! The Gospel would have never spread if Peter, John, and the early church had operated in fear, and the same is true of Jesus' church today. We still need this same boldness in the face of opposition!

Looking back on last week's study from Luke 15, our panel discusses God's heart for the lost, and how we are to have the same heart.

The religious establishment was offended by the Jesus, the very God they believed they were serving. Pastor Lance draws parallels to American Christians today, and cautions believers not to limit God in the same way when the Holy Spirit desires to do a work.

Examining 3 different parables, Pastor Lance speaks on the heart of God for the lost. He never stops seeking and loving the lost, and the best example for this is Jesus' own approach to ministry.

As we finish up Acts 3, Pastor Lance stresses that Jesus offers forgiveness to any and to all who accept Him as Lord and Savior...even the very people who nailed Him to the cross! The miracle that the Holy Spirit performed through Peter and John, working in tandem with Peter's bold proclamation of truth, impacted and transformed the lives of many, the effects of which we still see to this very day.
