This message from Acts 16 will make reference to the exodus, as well as Acts 4, 5, and 12 in helping us understand that God is bigger that whatever prison we might find ourselves in. I also plan to use Isaiah 61:1.
This message will look at one of the challenges that arise from relationships: disagreement and conflict. We will continue in the book of Acts by looking at chapter 15:30-41 and then 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 as we look at the ministry of reconciliation.
This message will look at the relationship between Paul and Barnabas and how they worked together on what we now know as Paul's first missionary journey. We will look at some of the foundational aspects of what constitutes a Christian friendship. I will use portions of Acts 13 and 14 in this sermon.
This message will center around Acts 4:36-5:11 and Acts 11:19-30. Our Father desires servants who are encouraging and generous, not representatives of his kingdom who are conniving and transactional.
This message will focus on Peter's second escape from prison in Acts 12:1-24 and the aftermath of this event. God's divine providence is at work in what happens to James and what happens to Peter, as confusing as that may be. The Believers at Mary's house are doing the truest work of our faith as our Heavenly Father is always in control.
Greg uses portions of Acts 10 and 11 as well as Ephesians 2:11-13 to look at the monumental shift of Peter's understanding that the message of salvation was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews.
