Harvest Community Church of Huntersville

When the first church was formed in Acts 2, it had some defining characteristics. Today is the second of four messages based on Acts 2-42-47 that describes church LIFE-then and now-

The very first Easter sermon was short, simple and powerful-and 3,000 people genuinely received its message about Christ. Today we will look at that first sermon by Peter in Acts 2-22-41 so we all can understand this message and how believers in Christ today can share the good news with others.

The phrase -United we Stand- has been used in many different mottos throughout history. The early church prayed together often, so much so that its motto might have been, -United we Kneel.- We see a beautiful picture of that in today's message from Acts 1-12-26.

At the moment Jesus ascended to heaven, his followers stood there amazed and probably confused. Yet God sent them an important message about how they should think about this stunning development. This sermon from Acts 1-9-11 explains that event and shows how Jesus' ascension still impacts us today.

When architects design buildings, they create blueprints so everything will work as planned. Similarly, God is in the process of building his church, and the book of Acts shows us some of his blueprints. Today's sermon introduces Acts by revealing things that Jesus wants specifically for his church. This sermon is titled, -Still at Work,- and comes from Acts 1-1-8.

As we celebrate 25 years of ministry at Harvest Community Church, today's sermon reminds us of why this church exists and what we should focus on for the next 25. And it is all based on the authority of Jesus Christ.

What does God need- Psalm 50 drives home the truth that, unlike us, God needs nothing. At the same time, He invites us to worship in a genuine way. This sermon describes what true worship of God involves.

It is easy to be drawn to the love of God, but what about his judgment- The message from Zephaniah 3-14-20 shows how the two work together to create a life-changing situation for God's people.

God's wisdom means that He -always chooses the best goals and the best means to those goals- -Wayne Grudem-. In this sermon, we will learn from Romans 16-25-27 and other Scripture how God's wisdom is seen-and how we can get it-

Have you ever heard the expression that someone has -eyes in the back of their head-- It refers to someone who has an uncanny ability to see a lot of things that are happening. Of course, being human means that we are limited and finite. However, God sees and knows everything, is present everywhere and cares about us personally. This sermon from Psalm 139 focuses on what a majestic God He is and how that shapes our prayers.
