Evangelism on SermonAudio

ONE ACCORD. Acts 2:1–4:Acts 1:14; 2:42–47; 4:31–33; Philippians 2:1–5 KJV Acts 2:1 tells us that when Pentecost came, the disciples were "all with one accord in one place." This KJV-centered message examines the spiritual power of a church united around Jesus Christ, prayer, the Gospel, and a common mission. Biblical unity does not require identical personalities or preferences; it requires God's people to surrender those differences to a purpose greater than themselves. From Acts 1, 2, and 4, we see believers praying together, serving together, witnessing boldly, caring for one another, and reaching people with the Gospel. As Bethel Crossroads prepares for revival, the challenge is personal: What could God do if we stopped pulling against one another and all pulled in the same direction? Church, maybe we don't need more horsepower. Maybe we need one direction. Maybe we don't need another program. Maybe we need one purpose. Maybe we don't need everybody to become alike. Maybe we need everybody looking toward Jesus.

United: How Twelve Essential Truths Hold Us Together. Join us as we explore the truths that unite us and shape our identity as a local church - from the broad truths we share with all believers to the convictions that make us evangelical, Protestant, Reformed, confessional, covenantal, and Presbyterian. Whether you are considering membership at First Scots or simply want to undestand better who we are and why we do what we do, we hope you will attend this new adult class. This week's topic is "United in Reform". Pastor Mark will consider the roots of the Reformation, and seek to understand the church's duty to be reformed and always reforming.

The Christian view of history has a start, a middle, and an end. It gives a sense of finality. Christ did not merely arrive at the end of the former age; He brought it to an end with His world-changing act of redemption. Jonathan Edwards wrote that "grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected". This grace arrives in history with the death of Christ, and the consequences of this perfect death are flowing out through history. Christ died for the many, to put their sins away. He has done everything necessary for the salvation of His people. Your duty is to come to Him, to belong to Him, so that you can enjoy this salvation.

You need to learn how and why to share the gospel.

In the wake of the Revolutionary War, a spiritually depleted and intellectually skeptical America faced a crisis of faith, only for an unexpected wave of revivals to ignite across New England's local parishes and elite college campuses—documented soberly in the Connecticut Evangelical Magazine and spearheaded by leaders like Timothy Dwight and Ashbel Green. Unlike the sensationalized frontier rallies or the technique-driven revivals that followed, this quiet awakening dismantled Deism through cold logic, deepened parish life without emotionalism, and restored moral clarity to the rising generation before being largely eclipsed by the louder chapters of American history.

Anointing of the Spirit

Welcome to Through the Psalms, a weekend ministry of The Truth Pulpit. Over time, we will study all 150 psalms with Pastor Don Green from Truth Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. We're glad you're with us. Let's open to the Psalms now as we join our teacher in The Truth Pulpit. https://www.thetruthpulpit.com

The devotional centers on the urgent call to pray for more laborers in God's global harvest, drawing from Luke 10:2 to emphasize the vast spiritual need in the world and the critical shortage of committed missionaries. It underscores the pastoral responsibility of believers to intercede for those on the mission field, including their families and children, who face unique challenges such as cultural dislocation and spiritual vulnerability. The message highlights practical ways to engage—adopting a missionary family, supporting children's ministries like Child Evangelism Fellowship, praying for specific nations, and using digital platforms to connect with and support global outreach. Through personal stories and global statistics, it affirms that prayer is not only a spiritual duty but a powerful means of participating in God's redemptive work, with the promise that such prayers are always answered. The tone is both urgent and hopeful, calling the church to expand its vision beyond local concerns to embrace a worldwide mission with faith and perseverance.
