Christ Street Fellowship

What at the "first order" questions of life and why do we rarely find time to think about them? 

Luke finishes his history of the first 30 years of the Church with the journey of Paul to Rome and Paul's imprisonment there. Though the Book ends after chapter 28, the story of the Church continues to be written today. 

Paul makes his defense before King Agrippa and Bernice. In doing so he gives us a model of how to share our "faith story" with others today. 

In his trial before Governor Felix Paul plead "not guilty" to insurrection. He then plead "guilty" to being a follower of the Way - a Christian. Paul then went on to admit to three pieces of evidence that he was indeed a Christian. Join Pastor Gary and he examines these three pieces of evidence in Paul's life and challenges us to make sure they are present in our lives as Christ followers today. 

Paul the Apostle, answering the call of the Holy Spirit, goes to Jerusalem where "chains and tribulations" await him.  From the story of Paul in Chapters 21 and 22,  Pastor Gary examines four keys to discerning and following the Holy Spirit's direction even when it seems illogical and difficult. 

Guest Pastor Daniel Coffey highlights the power found in the name of Jesus in Chapter 19 of the Book of Acts. 

Paul's Second Missionary journey is filled with Spirit-Led adventures highlighted by his sermon on Mars Hill in Athens. Join Pastor Gary in discovering how what Paul said the Athenians can serve as a model as we communicate the Gospel today. 

Pastor Nate Schrimp dives deep into the important Church Council in Jerusalem described in Acts 15 and how what was decided has a profound impact on every Christian today. 

Peter tells the other Apostles why he baptized some Gentiles into the Church, and they all affirm that this is the will of God. James is killed by Herod but Peter is rescued by an angel. Herod receives God's judgement and the church keeps growing! In this teaching Pastor Gary gives insights into each of these events and on the story these chapters tell about Barnabas. From the life of Barnabas we can learn how to be  a "son of encouragement' today.  

These chapters contain two historic and transformational events - The conversion of Saul of Tarsus and the opening of the Gospel to the Gentiles through Peter.
