Fathers Day 2017.

Key Text: Acts 2:42-47

Last week, we considered the DNA of the church, those defining characteristics that stick with us for life. But what does a healthy church look like as it grows? That's what we turn our attention to this week as we move forward in our series on the book of Acts.

Key Text: Acts 2:1-41

The events of Acts 2:1-41, otherwise known as Pentecost, changed the world as we know it. Join us this Sunday as we consider how this remarkable day in history has left its mark and shaped who we are even today.

Did you know that God actually wants you to know his will? Too often we approach the topic of 'Knowing God's Will' as though God was playing some divine game of 'Hide & Seek' with us. 

Acts has much to teach us on this subject, so join us this Sunday as Steve walks us through Acts 1:12-26 and gleans some important principles in how you can be confident of God's will in your life.

Key Text: Acts 1:1-11

As Acts begins, it starts as any gospel-rich story should—with Jesus. Join us as we take our first steps into this journey of discovery and see how the Spirit can take ordinary people and begin to change the world through them.

The story of the book of Acts is really a story of the Gospel, or more accurately, it is a story of the power of Jesus at work in the world through his people and his word. The story of Acts is our story. Though our church was founded only a few decades ago, its roots sink back to the first century, to a dozen men and a handful of women, and to the most world shaking events in history.

Our study of Acts should inspire fresh hope in the gospel, that what God did through it over the course of three decades should shape the way we continue gospel work today. The first disciples were accused of turning the world upside down (Acts 17:6), I could think of no better objective for us to have than that. Acts is a story of a peaceful takeover, a gospel subversion.

Our objective is to raise up a new generation of disciples who are equipped for a life of gospel subversion, a mission to the turn the world upside down for Jesus.

Our final week in the series, and Matt will be helping us think through how we as a church disciple in the context of engaging with the world around us.

Due to an ongoing technical error, the last part of our recording isn't available. 

Week two of our series on discipleship environments in the church has Matt leading us through a biblical perspective on the church gathered.
