Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York

Philip is called by God to go down and meet an Ethiopian Eunuch. He is lead by the Holy Spirit to evangelize and the Ethiopian gets saved. We too need to be ready evangelists. God wants us to take the gospel into the world.

While preaching the gospel in Samaria, Phillip encounters a pagan magician Simon who professes faith in Christ and is baptized. But then, Simon asks Peter and John to buy from the ability to give the Holy Spirit to people. While Simon seems like a believer for a time, he shows that despite early indications he did not know the Lord. We, too, should test to see if we are in the faith.

Stephen sees the glory of God and Jesus Christ at God's right hand. Jesus in the presence of God shows us His glory and deity. What does that mean for us and our worship life?

How does the Old Testament related to the New Testament and why does it matter for my life? When Stephen is accused of blaspheming God and God's Word, he shows that God's people regularly sinned and the only solution to sin is Jesus Christ.

When a need arises in the early church, the apostles appoint the first deacons to take care of widows. The church is supposed to minister both the Word and to the needy.

After an angel releases the apostles from prison, he instructs them to preach in the temple. Upon being arrested again, Peter responds that we "must obey God rather than man". Learn how this applies to us today. We need to be challenged to be witnesses and not fear man.

Today's sermon brings a challenge to read through the Bible in a year.

The angels appear with the birth of Jesus and proclaim the glory of God because He has sent His Son, Jesus the Christ who is Savior and Lord.

Zechariah acknowledges that his son will prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. He looks forward to the great moment of the Messiah's coming. We too should look for the coming of the Lord and respond to Jesus in faith and trust.

In this sermon we examine Mary's Magnificat and the Biblical themes found in it. Mary comes before the Lord humbly. She rejoices in the grace of God and that He is keeping His promises in sending Jesus. Like Mary, we need to come before the Lord humbly.
