Gold Hill Baptist Church Sermons

The Church: No Plan B (67) Malcolm Duncan teaching from Acts 26 where he examines the power of the proclaimed gospel. Paul is given (and boldly takes!) the opportunity to share the gospel with King Agrippa. Paul went to some length to recount his conversion experience and demonstrate that he had not become a Christian on a whim. Are we

equally ready to ‘tell our own story’ of our salvation?

The Biblical Church. Malcolm Duncan considers one our eight core values, as we hear how Scripture is relevant and powerful in our everyday lives.

Faith Under Fire (4). Before his trial before Agrippa, Paul is brought from prison in Caesarea to face the new Roman Governor. In what might appear to be just a linking narrative, Paul's response teaches us how we can engage with secular authority without making choices that impede our missional focus and the advance of the Gospel.

Faith Under Fire (4). After a time imprisoned in Caesarea, a new Roman governor is installed and Paul's case is re-examined. Acts 25 fills in some of the narrative. Paul could actually have found a way out of his predicament but, instead, chose to use the circumstances to the best advantage of the advancement of the Gospel.

After a short introduction and quiz hosted by Dave Criddle, Stephen Walker-Williams unpacks our core value: "Biblical" by considering what it means to be a Biblical People, seeking to live under God's authority and in keeping with the truths of Scripture. He will help us to consider how Jesus was biblical and our role model, and thus how we can follow his example.

On the eve of our Harvest Celebration, Keith King looks at fruitfulness and harvest in our lives that can follow from an encounter with Jesus.

The Church: No Plan B (64) Keith King teaching from Acts 24, examining the next stage of Paul's journey and in particular focusing on defending our faith when we are falsely accused. How can we be prepared to stand firm as we share the good gospel news and at the same time be considerate of those to whom we speak?

Vision Sunday (am) Malcolm Duncan exploring the Encountering God aspect of our Vision statement. Our desire is to be community expectant and open to the Holy Spirit, grounded in the word of God and engaged in the world.

The Church: No Plan B (63) Malcolm Duncan teaching from Acts 22 &&name;amp&name; 23 where we see Paul defending his actions before the Roman guards, before the Jewish court (the Sanhedrin) and then with the Governor. In each of these contexts Paul was willing to stick up for the truth of the Gospel. Once again we see him identifying with those to whom he spoke and then standing firm on the truth of God. Are we willing to stand firm and trust God will strengthen us as we defend Christ?
