Parliament Community Church Podcast

Today we continue our sermon series on the Witness: The Book of Acts. Jared will be preaching on a sermon called "How Levi's Life Changed". 

We take some time to look at the life of Ananias and Sapphira who choose to hold onto wealth rather than follow through on a commitment to give it to the Lord.

Today we begin our sermon series on the Witness: The Book of Acts. Pastor Mike will be preaching on a sermon called "Persecution and Prayer". 

Peter and John were arrested and use that time to teach and preach and the believers turn to God in prayer. With Christ ascended and his ministry continued through the disciples transforming the world around them, we see the start of persecution and the reaction of the world. Just as the Spirit transforms the world, the world that stands against Christ is also transformed into opposing the church. We are told to expect persecution because the powers of the world are threatened by the powers of the Kingdom. When we experience obstacles how do we respond? Are we trying to appease the world so they’ll like us? Do we push forward in love and grace? Do we pull back? Do we root ourselves in prayer or our own strength?

Today we finish our sermon series on the Transformation: Book of Acts. Pastor Ben will be preaching on a sermon called Miracles and Teaching. 

There is a pattern in Acts of miracles and teaching. The transformation of the early church was not limited to their internal community. When we are transformed by the working of Christ in our lives through the Spirit, we are used to help bring transformation to the world in word and action. How is God using you to transform the world?

Today we are continuing our sermon series on the Transformation: Book of Acts. Pastor Mike will be preaching on a sermon called Empowered Community. 

We see the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the lives of the disciples and the believers changed and transformed. The work of God has changed how they live their lives. How is God calling us to live our lives? How are our lives different than the world around us? What does the world see when we live our faith and are supposed to be guided by the Holy Spirit? The transformation is not rooted in us, but in the working of the Spirit in their lives and the fruit of that life is a church that is growing numerically. How are we growing as a church?

Today we are continuing our sermon series on the Transformation: Book of Acts. Pastor Mike will be preaching on a sermon called The Church on Fire. 

The coming of the Holy Spirit is most likely the largest transformation the church has ever experienced. While we romanticize it, it had to be unsettling and amazing. We see some who are mocking them while others questioned what it meant, and others were just in the midst of the experience. Where are we in the church as the Holy Spirit works? Are we trying to limit or mock, are we pondering, or are we in the middle of what the Spirit is doing in our midst? We see 3000 added to the number of the church that day after Peter’s sermon. Are we willing to commit to the work of God today as those people did back then?

Today we are continuing our sermon series on the Book of Acts. Pastor Mike will be preaching on a sermon called The Mission Continues. 

We see the disciples go to Jerusalem following Jesus ascent into heaven. They prepare themselves for the ministry ahead by rooting themselves in prayer and in identifying another disciple to join them in ministry. We are reminded that as we move forward as a church things will change, though the foundation of who we are won’t. Things will look different and be transformed season to season as we move forward in ministry. We have a part to play in ministry, and sometimes it is preparation. The administration and equipping of the church enables us to do ministry as long as our eyes are on God's kingdom, not building our own kingdom.

Today we are beginning a new 2022 sermon series on the Book of Acts. Pastor Mike will be preaching on Setting the Stage. 

We see in this passage the transition from the gospels to Acts, specifically in the ascension of Jesus with the affirmation of the gift of the Holy Spirit. God has equipped His church – and is now moving them out into the world empowered by the triune God.
