Core Values Series – Gifted Service. We were created to serve. It’s in our nature, so today, let’s move forward together knowing whom we are serving, how we are serving, the spirit in which we serve, and for what glorious purpose we are serving.
Biblical Authority
Core Values Series – Part 1 – Biblical Authority. The Bible is like a carpenter’s level. It is the objective, authoritative source of what is true, meaning it tells you what is or isn’t level, not the other way around. The Bible is where we begin the conversation, and if you don’t know what it says, then why do you stake your eternity on it? We need to know why we believe what we believe, or else, why on earth do we believe it?
The Gospel is a Double-Edged Sword
ACTS SERIES – Acts 5:1-16. Today we will see how the word of God is truly a double-edged sword. How? Because we will see a swift and hard judgment over Ananias and Sapphira, followed by displays of miraculous healing, showing two aspects of God’s nature – a hatred of sin and compassionate love for His people.
A Summary of the Early Church
ACTS Series – Acts 4:23-37. Our text today is a summary of what we have already learned so far. Luke is looking back at giving us the primary nuggets of truth that we need to chew on as we move forward. This means that the information isn’t new, but we will see it from a fresh perspective and further internalize it so it changes us in the best possible ways.
Marks of True Christian Character
ACTS Series – Acts 4:13-22 – When confronted by the Sanhedrin, Peter and John exhibited 4 marks of true christian character that all believers should not only be aware of, but also have in the very fabric of their being if we are to be effective witnesses for Christ.
