Why does the Bible say that “through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God”? Acts 14 shows God rescuing one man from tribulation, but allowing another man to experience great tribulation. Jesus tells Christians to expect tribulation (John 16:33). This message will explore the subject of tribulation and encourage us to keep going!
Through Many Tribulations

God Is Not Far From Us
December 10, 2023 • Shad Baker • Acts 17:22–34
God is not far from each one of us! God wants us to 1. Seek, 2. Reach, 3. And Find him. Like a father playing hide and seek with his daughter, God wants us seek Him and find Him. This passage urges us to Reason with our minds, Repent with our hearts, and Respond to the good news of Jesus! Visit us at http://cefc.church
The Best Response
December 3, 2023 • Shad Baker • Acts 17:1–21
Acts 17:1-21 compares the way two different communities (the Thessalonians and the Bereans) responded to the message about Jesus. The response of the second community teaches us to receive the message of Christ with eagerness, while also checking to make sure that the message we hear matches with the message we read in the Bible. What is our attitude and our response toward the message of Jesus? Pray that God gives us the grace to have the same noble response as the Bereans! Visit us at http://cefc.church
