Today we close out our series, "Boldly Proclaiming the Word of Christ" with the sermon, "A Bold Love". in this message we recall God's great love for us in that "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." The message is a Lesson of Scripture and Songs. We read scriptures about God's love and then a song was sung in thought f that scripture. By all comments it was a very moving and inspiring service. We hope you enjoy watching.

This week we continue to look at God's vision and how that vision was related to the Apostle Paul. God led Him to go to Macedonia, modern day Greece, to share the gospel. This is the first known occurrence of the gospel being taken to the land mass of Europe.

In God's continued quest to see the gospel spread throughout the world, He challenged Peter to expand his vision of how that should be done. Peter was happy preaching in Jerusalem to his fellow Jews, a good desire, but God wanted the non-Jewish people to hear the gospel and He wanted Peter to tell the the gospel. If Peter had refused God's call his good intentions would have stood in the way of God's will. Peter had the attributes God needed for this job. Obediently, Peter received God's enlightenment and went to Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, and shared the gospel. The result was that Cornelius and his house received Jesus as the Messiah and, as promised by Jesus, they received the Holy Spirit opening a new audience for God's message. From Acts 10-11:18

The Apostles Paul's conversion was an earth changing conversion but it is based on the same need that is true for each of us. Watch as we learn from Paul's conversion in the book of Acts chapter nine

The early church saw God do amazing things as He worked to have the gospel spread throughout the world. In todays sermon we learn of Pilip and the Ethiopian eunuch. They met on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. It was a divine appointment set by God with the result being the propagation of the Gospel into Africa. Acts 8:26-41

The rapid growth of the church in Jerusalem brought growing pains the Apostles needed to address. They recommended seven men be selected to take some of the load off the Apostles. Stephen was one of those selected. When Stephen was brought before the Sanhedrin to answer accusations against him, he responded boldly with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Acts chapters 6 and 7

Rev. Jon Auten brings today's message, "A Bold Reply" instead of pastor Wes Brockway. Jon is Network Strategist for North Central Baptist Network in Kentucky. He delivers a powerful message of encouragement to the church to be bold in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ using Acts 5:17-42 for his focus scripture.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is spreading rapidly throughout Jerusalem as the disciples preach. The religious leaders of the day must stop this new faith . They have Peter and John brought in for questioning. The session ends with Peter and John responding to their command. Listen as we learn from their example how to respond to those who resist our message. From Acts chapters 3 and 4

We humans love to share. We regularly share on social media events in our life. We often share not caring whether anyone wants to know about our life or not. How come then, don't we share about Jesus Christ's role and workings in our life. In Acts chapter 2 verses 14-41 we read of Peter's response to the mocking of the Christians as the Holy Spirt empowered them and they told the Gospel. It was a bold message and it pricked the hearts of many.

This Sunday we begin a series titled, "Boldly Proclaiming the Word of Christ" The series looks at the growth of the New Testament church as found in the book of Acts. Today we read of the Holy Spirit's decent on Jesus disciples.
