Acts : Week 29 : Breaking Bread and Raising the Dead

Acts : Week 29 : Breaking Bread and Raising the Dead

This week Pastor Doug preaches through one of the most famous passages, Acts 20:1-12, where Eutychus falls asleep during a lengthy sermon from the Apostle Paul, which prompts the Apostle to raise him from the dead and continue in his preaching until daybreak. However, we often overlook the simple fact of the necessity of Spirit-empowered encouragement the Church needs to receive to keep pressing toward the goal of sharing the greatest news the world will know and making more disciples of Jesus Christ.

Acts : Week 28 : The Gospel's Power & Pagan Pride

One characteristic of the Gospel is that it is divisive. It divides the holy from the unholy. It confronts our idol worship, and the sins we cling so religiously to. In Acts 19, we'll see how the Gospel disrupts cultural norms and empowers followers of Jesus to confront idolatry, which transforms the lives of people, cities and nations. Jesus is the light of the world, and he can transform people and cities from dwellings of darkness to beacons of light to the world. If he can transform cities then, He can do it again.

Acts : Week 27 : The Necessity of Discipleship to a Thriving Church

In Acts 18:24-19:10, we see the importance of continuous strong discipleship - where we spend our lives learning and growing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Strong discipleship is essential to a thriving church that will withstand persecution and earthly sorrow.

Acts : Week 26 : Keeping the Faith

Pastor Teo preaches through Acts 18:1-22, and Paul's resilience to keep the faith amidst difficult ministry situations.

Acts : Week 25 : 3 Keys to Effective Evangelism

In Acts 17:16-34, the Apostle Paul gives us a masterclass on effective evangelism that is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. We’ll see how Gospel effectiveness is rooted in how well we learn the culture, build bridges relationally, and boldly declare the full counsel of the Truth of God’s Word.Thanks for joining us.
