• September 20, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: Preaching to the City

  Acts 17:18-34

  In Acts 17 Paul has discovered the utter lostness of the city of Athens, a

  city wholly given to idolatry. Paul does the only thing he knows to do when

  he makes such a discovery - preach. This week in our study we will consider

  what it looks like to preach to the city that we minister to. We will learn

  how Paul adapts to his changing audiences, how he doesn’t compromise his

  message for the sake of relevancy and how he makes the terms of the gospel

  very clear.

• September 13, 2020Rest and Reenvision / Jorge Pietrogiovanna

  Deuteronomy 3

  Through this intermission of Acts 17, God gave me this passage to

  reenvision me for the battle at hand. To turn the world upside down, we

  must know our identity, and we must acknowledge the battle at hand.

• September 06, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: Burdened for a City

  Acts 17:13-17

  In Acts 17 Paul is whisked away from Berea to Athens where he waits for the

  rest of his friends to join him. Here Paul has a chance to see one of the

  most wondrous cities in the world - a cultural, religious and academic

  epicenter. But as Paul sits and takes in this great city, he isn’t filled

  with wonder but concern for their lostness and idolatry. Are you stirred

  for your city? What does your conviction compel you to do?

• August 30, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: Learning to Discern

  Acts 17:10-12

  In our story, Paul and the missions team journey to Berea, a town just west

  of Thessalonica. Here they meet a group of Bereans who listen to their

  gospel message but rather than accepting it outright, take the time to

  study God’s word to discern whether or not the message was true. The

  Berean’s are an example to us of how to become discerning in a world of

  mis-information and lies.

• August 23, 2020Getting What You Really Want / James Fyffe

  Numbers 11

  God will give you the desire of your heart. This is the key concept in

  todays message, and the reality is that it is a very scary concept. What

  happens when the desire of our heart is not in line with what God

  desires? From Numbers 11 we will see God giving his people the desire of

  their heart, even though it is not what God wanted for them, and the

  consequence that comes with it.

• August 16, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: How to Turn the World Upside Down pt 2

  Acts 17:1-9

  Paul, Silas and the team leave Philippi to go preach the gospel in

  Thessalonica. After they preached, a group of frustrated antagonists make a

  very unique claim against them, “These that have turned the world upside

  down are come hither also”.

  Part two of this message focuses on the need for the church, it takes team

  a collection of courageous believers to turn the world upside down.

• August 09, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: How to Turn the World Upside Down pt 1

  Acts 17:1-9

  Paul, Silas and the team leave Philippi to go preach the gospel in

  Thessalonica. After they preached, a group of frustrated antagonists make a

  very unique claim against them, “These that have turned the world upside

  down are come hither also”. Our question today is, how do we personally

  live a life that has the power to unsettle the entire world with the

  gospel.

• August 02, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: What to do with an Open Door?

  Acts 16:24-38

  Paul & Silas have prayed and praised in their hour of need and now the

  doors have been opened. The next question is what to do? Do they take the

  way of escape or do they enter the open door, a spiritual opportunity to

  share the gospel with a man who is desperately in need of salvation? Do we

  put greater focus on negotiating the difficulties of life than on

  ministering the gospel?

  with God.

• July 19, 2020The Acts of the Apostles: The Unbreakable, Unshakeable Missions-Mind pt 2

  Acts 16:22-26

  Last week we found that in order to have an unshakeable faith that it will

  require us to accept persecution as a fact and believe the promises of God

  (Mat 5:11,12). This week we find Paul and Silas beaten and bloody in a

  prison cell…the average person would be at their breaking point but these

  men choose to worship. We learn this week that an unbreakable, unshakeable

  believer is a person yielded to the joy and discipline of prayer and

  worship.
