Eternal City Church Sunday Sermons

Shepherd The Flock (S.T.F.) is an annual pastor's conference in partnership with Eternal City Church (E.C.C.), University Community Church (U.C.C.), Acts 29 - Emerging Regions (A29 - E.R.), and Acts 29 - Church in Hard Places (A29 - C.i.H.P.). S.T.F. seeks to equip and train Ugandan lead pastors and their elder teams to shepherd their churches well and build healthy biblical structures and practices in their churches. With ongoing support and training through Acts 29 - Church in Hard Places, pastors can join a cohort to receive training by apprenticeship.

Apprentices attend a monthly cohort meeting in their region.

Each month they receive a reading and writing assignment.

Apprentices attend an annual retreat during which they receive training in preaching, church planting strategy, and pastoral theology.

After the apprenticeship, planters will better grasp their own theology and planting strategies. They will have also learned about Acts 29, leading many to become Acts 29 applicants and, eventually, members.

For Christians, giving thanks is not optional. Romans 1:21 explains that God is angry at those who refuse to acknowledge his gifts and give him thanks. Christians have this privilege and joy of recognizing God's many gifts, as Psalms 24:1-2 reveals, "The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord; for he laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers." All human beings have and enjoy comes from God's gracious hands. Let us give him thanks!

Warnings of false teaching and teachers is pervasive throughout the whole of scripture. Romans 16:17-18 warns of divisive people who contradict the sound teaching of scripture and the gospel in particular.

This baptism message was aimed at giving a biblical answer to the familiar and pervasive cultural assumption "You Have To Be True To Yourself." Then, you will hear the faith story of each person getting baptized from their own mouths.
