Christianity is under attack like never before in America. Ridicule. Frivolous lawsuits. Open hostility from the mainstream media as well as social media. How should we respond? For answers, Ron takes us back to the very beginning of the church, and to a body of believers who faced severe persecution of their own.
Some two thousand years ago, the church was born into a hostile culture. We haven’t seen too much of that here in America. But times are changing. Today our culture is more openly hostile to Christianity than it has ever been, and unless something changes it will only get worse. The question is, how should we respond to this hostility. Ron has three practical suggestions for us today as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
“Then Peter opened his mouth and said, ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality but in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.’” Well, the Apostle Peter didn’t always feel this way. But a supernatural encounter with God showed him the truth. Ron takes us there next, as his continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John three, sixteen doesn’t tell us that God so loved Jerusalem or that God so loved America. It says He loved the world, every nation, every tribe, every tongue. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter ten, and to one of the great turning points in church history.
You know, every now and then, God will do the amazing. A sign. A wonder. A miracle. And He does it so that people will see His power and come to faith in Christ. You’ll find two such miracles in Acts chapter nine, and Ron shares them with us today as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
"For I am not ashamed of The Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; 'to the Jew first', and also to the Gentile." Today, we return to the book of Acts, where God is setting the stage to do the next big thing in His church. This was a unique time in church history, a transitional time, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
Do you want to build a church that never stops growing? Start with a leader who never stops trying. Today, Ron takes us to the life of the Apostle Paul to show us the four keys to church growth. It’s all part of his continuing series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles,” and it comes your way next.
Saul of Tarsus had killed Christians before, and he was on his way to do it again. But God had other plans. Well, the conversion of Saul is one of the most amazing stories in Scripture, and it paved the way for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be taken to the Gentiles. Today, Ron shares some of the secrets to church growth as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. If you’ve lost hope that God has a plan for your life, you’ve come to the right place. In just a few moments, you’ll be reminded that as long as you have a pulse, you have a purpose, no matter how many setbacks you’ve endured, no matter how many mistakes you have made. Today’s message is straight ahead, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”
Some people do what they believe is right. Others do what is right. Today Ron takes us to Acts chapter nine, and to the story of a man who was sincere in his belief that he was doing the right thing. But as you’ll see in just a few moments, he was sincerely wrong.
