The Gospel Movement: The Acts of the Apostles

Stephen the Martyr

Acts 6:8-7:8; 7:51-8:3

What does it really mean to be a martyr? We ALL have the calling to be a martyr, so how do we become a martyr?

* A martyr needs a story.

* A martyr needs a vision.

The Gospel Part II

Acts 1:1-11

The problem of absence – At the center of our faith is Jesus, but we cannot physically see, hear, or touch Him. The struggle is real, and the book of Acts starts with Jesus leaving His disciples. What do we do with the absence of Jesus?

* The meaning of His absence.

* The result of His absence.

Drama Queen Spirituality

Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18

We all desire to be noticed. We seek to be praised for our accomplishments and celebrated for our works. Jesus addresses, not our practices, but how and why we worship. Listen as Jon guide us through Jesus’ words to all of us actors and hypocrites.

* Jesus talks about reward.

* The reward from people.

* The reward of Him.

* Jesus talks about relationship.

* A relationship with an audience.

* A relationship with The Father.
