Running Pastor

In Acts 4 we see the response of the Jewish leadership to Peter and John's preaching Christ in the temple. As they are arrested they are warned not to preach Christ, and in their response we see a great personal reminder.

In Acts 3 we see a man that has been lame since birth miraculously healed! We also hear Peter tell us how this took place and what this sign calls it's observers to do in response.

As we look in Acts 2:42-47 we see what life was like for these early Christians. We see what they were devoted to, and what this devotion led to. These are things that I think we should all desire more of in our lives!

In Acts 2:14-41 Peter teaches the gathered Jewish people on Pentecost that Jesus is both Lord and Christ. He uses three different Old Testament texts to help them understand what is going on and who Jesus is. (Joel 2, Psalm 16, Psalm 110)

As we finish up our Easter sermon series we look at Luke 24:1-12 to see how the events of Resurrection Sunday went and what sort of implications they have on our lives today.

As we continue toward Easter in the Gospel of Luke we see Jesus' great love and concern for others, even as He is moving toward death on the cross. We also see the difference that faith makes.

As Jesus is put on trial for claiming to be God by His own people in Luke 22:66-71 we get the privilege of seeing His response that reminds us of how worthy He truly is!

In Acts 2:1-13 we see the coming of the Holy Spirit, the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to the disciples, but I believe the timing of this event, on the day of Pentecost, magnifies the picture of God's faithfulness!

After Jesus ascended to heaven in Acts 1 how would the disciples know what to do? What was going on, what would they do next? Especially while waiting on the Holy Spirit to come?! They were guided by God, through the Scriptures.

As we continue our series through the book of Acts we look at the task that Jesus specifically called His followers to in 1:6-11, and how they would have enough strength to undertake such a task.
