Cautiously Pessimistic

Acts 5:27-42

March 22, 2017 • Jeff Lyle

The Bible does give us a verse to help us with everything that we encounter in life. No verse clearly tells you the exact person to marry, or what job to take or where to live. While principles for living are everywhere in scripture, sometimes we are faced with challenges we just don’t comprehend. In this message, a unique individual inadvertently gives us powerful advice about what to do when we are not sure when God is in the middle of something. The man giving the advice is actually an opponent of the Gospel, but his counsel is straight from Heaven. Listen in and be tremendously helped.

What We All Should Expect

May 7, 2017 • Jeff Lyle

The portrayal of the Christian faith as being little more than a ticket punched for Heaven is unrealistic. Following Jesus doesn’t result in ease and comfort – not if you are truly following Him. This message takes us quickly along the jagged edge of what it means to follow the King. It’s not joining a blessing-club. It is enlisting for war.

Angel-Faced & Lion-Hearted

April 23, 2017 • Jeff Lyle

It is a most unpleasant thing to ponder the growing number of Christians who are being killed for their allegiance to Jesus Christ. In parts of the world today, one of the most dangerous things is to live openly as a Christian. The end of the age promises more of the same as persecution and martyrdom and biblically prophesied to grow in frequency and intensity prior to the second Coming. This message takes us to the scene of the very first Christian martyr. His name is Stephen, and he earned the right for his story to be told.

Easter's Bottom Line

April 16, 2017 • Jeff Lyle

All throughout the Book of Acts we witness the Gospel being proclaimed by so many different people. Perhaps no other passage in Acts more clearly communicates the actual pillars of the Gospel than the passage before us here. With short, sharp swipes of the sword, the Apostle Paul unpacks the eternal plan of redemption as God designed it. Emphasizing the power of Christ’s resurrection, Paul leaves his audience with the offer of forgiveness and freedom for any who will surrender to the living Son of God.
