3 Gifts God Gives Through Godly Men

Many people are longing for guidance, leadership, and hope in a broken world. In this sermon, Pastor Jon explores Acts 16:1-15 and shows how God works through godly men to provide spiritual covering, spiritual leadership, and spiritual flourishing wherever they go. Outline: Spiritual Covering. (16:1-5) Spiritual Leadership. (16:6-10) Spiritual Flourishing. (16:11-15)

Disagreeing with Grace

Disagreements are inevitable, but many relationships are damaged because we don't know how to handle them with grace. In this sermon, Pastor Jon explores Acts 15:36–41 and shows how Christians can navigate disagreements in a Christlike way by accepting different perspectives, assuming the best about others' intentions, and refusing to let sharpness win. Through the conflict between Paul and Barnabas, we learn that the gospel should shape not only what we believe, but also how we disagree. Outline: Accept That Christians Can See Things Differently. (15:36-38) Assume the Best About Others' Intentions. (15:36-38) Refuse to Let Sharpness Win. (15:39-41)

What Makes Someone a Christian?

Many people assume that becoming a Christian is about being good enough, religious enough, or cleaning up their lives before coming to God. In this sermon, Pastor Jon explores Acts 15 and shows that salvation is not based on our performance, but on what Jesus has done for us, and how genuine faith is reflected in the way we live. Outline: It’s Not About Performance. (15:1-5) It’s About What Jesus Has Done. (15:6-21) It’s Reflected in How You Live. (15:22-35)

To The Ends of the Earth

When the gospel faces opposition, confusion, and suffering, it can be tempting to lose heart or retreat from the mission. In this sermon from Acts 14, Pastor Samuel Copeland shows how God advances the gospel to the ends of the earth through the planting of local churches. Following the example of Paul and Barnabas, we see the importance of proclaiming the gospel boldly, engaging people wisely, enduring suffering faithfully, establishing local churches intentionally, and strengthening the mission continually as we participate in God's work of making disciples among all nations. Outline: 1. Proclaim the Gospel Boldly (vv 1-7) 2. Engage People Wisely (vv 8-18) 3. Endure Suffering Faithfully (vv 19-22) 4. Establish Local Churches Intentionally (vv 22-23) 5. Strengthen the Mission Continually (vv 24-28)

In this sermon, Pastor Jon walks through Acts 13 to show how those who really speak for God are people who sit in His presence, are full of His Spirit, and submit to His Word. Those Who Sit in His Presence. (13:1-3) Those Who Are Full of His Spirit. (13:4-12) Those Who Submit to His Word. (13:13-52)
