Acts 17:16-34 "Need Love or Gift Love?"
Series: The Book of Acts: Gospel Driven Growth
Speaker: Rev. George Sinclair
Messiah Downtown
Date: 24th November 2024
Passage: Acts 17:16-34
-------------------
The Book of Acts: The Gospel Driven Truth
When people put you down or are hostile to you because you are a Christian, bear witness to Jesus anyway!
You were designed to worship the true and living God.
After the fall, every human being worships idols.
The question is never, "Will I worship?" The question is always, "Who or what am I worshipping?"
The One God created one universe, and one man, and from that man, one humanity.
Tragically, God is very, very close to you yet too far away for you to reach Him.
In your heart you know that death is not natural - death feels like the judgment of God.
The human story is a tragedy, but Jesus came to change the story of your life from a tragedy to a comedy!
God's pure unfailing love for you is all a gift, it is never needy.

Acts 17:1-15 "Be Open Minded!"
Series: The Book of Acts: Gospel Driven Growth
Speaker: Rev. George Sinclair
Date: 17th November 2024
Passage: Acts 17:1-15

The Book of Acts: The Gospel Driven Truth
Points:
Everything from the big story of the Old Testament to its tiniest details are fulfilled in the birth, life, work, and person of Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords of every tribe and nation. Charles III is just a king.
Envy is both a common, deadly vice that robs you of joy and makes you experience the truth as offensive and painful.
The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid. (G. K. Chesterton)
Filled with envy, you want to knock others down, down, down. Jesus Christ humbled Himself to death upon a cross - love to the loveless shown that you might loved and lovely be.
To know Christ Jesus and to grow in Christ-likeness you need to put all your envy to death and choose to grow in open mindedness.

Notes:
A. Only Jesus is sinless, therefore only He can save you.
B. The word of the Lord comes into you for your good and His glory without turning you into His puppet. You still sin, yet sacrificial love blooms in you as well.
C. God's infallible word does not make you infallible, it humbles you to accept that you are fallible.
D. Since you are not infallible, you need to learn His infallible word with the help of the Holy Spirit and other Christ-followers.
