  Acts 19:8-20

  Paul returns to Ephesus to contribute to the work that others had been

  doing. His ministry abounds and God uses him mightily! In today’s sermon,

  we look at three character qualities of an authentic faith: a change in our

  communication, a determined devotion, and a distinct power.

• March 14, 2021The Acts of the Apostles: A Line of Questions

  Acts 19:1-7

  On Paul’s return journey to Ephesus, he bumps into a group of twelve Jewish

  men who claim to be disciples. But upon further investigation, Paul

  discovers these men did not know Christ. Today we learn some very important

  truths about salvation, baptism, and the Holy Spirit. We also learn to be

  investigators, willing to ask hard questions of ourselves and others -

  learning to let the Bible reveal the truth.

• March 07, 2021The Acts of the Apostles: To Be Teachable

  Acts 18:24-28

  As we turn our attention back to the mission in Ephesus, we meet a man

  named Apollos. Aquila and Priscilla discover that Apollos is an incredibly

  gifted man with an incomplete gospel - he needs a relationship with Christ!

  Perhaps the best thing about Apollos though, is that despite his giftedness

  and intelligence, he was teachable. Today we ask "What does it mean to be

  teachable?”

• February 14, 2021The Acts of the Apostles: Faith, Friends, & Farewells

  Acts 18:18-23

  What we see in this leg of Paul’s journey is one of the hardest and most

  complicated aspects of doing ministry, making friends then having to say

  farewell to those we love, those we have given our lives to. We learn in

  this part of his missionary journey the value of old friends and new

  friends alike. We will learn some principles to help us see these

  relationships, with all their emotional complexity, from God’s point of

  view.

• February 07, 2021The Acts of the Apostles: To the Evangelist

  Acts 18:9-17

  In Acts 18, in the midst of a turbulent missionary journey to Corinth,

  Jesus comes to Paul in a night vision. Jesus’ words to Paul in this passage

  awake us to the promises God gives to those who preach the gospel.

  Do you fear sharing the truth of Christ to the lost? Let Jesus himself

  challenge those notions.

  We also see Paul face rejection from the Jews. We learn a perspective on

  rejection that is specific to evangelical ministry - how not to be

  discouraged and trust the Lord for work we can’t see or effect.

• January 31, 2021The Acts of the Apostles: Refreshed, Rejected, Revived

  Acts 18:5-8

  In Acts 18 we find Paul preaching in the synagogue of Corinth, reasoning

  with the unbelievers, when his friends show up and provide him with

  refreshment he needs to double-down in the work. Today we spend talking

  about what it means to be a good friend, someone who refreshes others.

  We also see Paul face rejection from the Jews. We learn a perspective on

  rejection that is specific to evangelical ministry - how not to be

  discouraged and trust the Lord for work we can’t see or effect.

• January 24, 2021How (not) to be a Righteous Remnant / Seth Harper

  Ezra 8-10:1-19

  Guest speaker Seth Harper walks us through what it means to divorce

  yourself from the world. We take a look at the example of Israel and how

  their disobedience to God’s commands led them to a place of bondage.

  Through God’s grace and repentance, we see the people of God able to come

  back to their first and only true King.
