What Will Prevail?

Agassiz & Lake Errock Campuses

October 23, 2022 • Pastor Eldon Fehr • Acts 19:11–22

Give

Whenever and wherever people are engaged in work that builds the Kingdom of God, there will be spiritual manifestation – and opposition. But God has promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. God has authority over all things – authority that He gives to His disciples so that the Good News about Jesus, and the making of new disciples, can continue.

The Gospel Centred Life

November 27, 2022 • Matt Boettcher • Acts 20:17–38

In Acts 20:17-38 we have Paul’s final address to the Ephesian elders. They are his parting words, so we know that they were of the utmost importance, for the church in Ephesus, but also the church today. He commends the elders directly to God and his word, and uses his own life as an example of how our lives are changed when the Gospel is at the centre.

Don't Shrink Back

November 27, 2022 • Pastor Jonathan Kornelsen • Acts 20:17–38

A farewell address is a big deal, typically filled with words that describe the emotion, values and hopes for those who are left behind. In today’s passage the Apostle Paul instructs the Ephesian Elders to not shrink back by keeping the gospel as your first priority, to continue in faithfulness regardless of the circumstances around you and to live intentional lives so that they can share the hope of Jesus to a lost and broken world.

The True Commitments Of A Christian

November 27, 2022 • Dr. Jorge Salazar • Acts 20:17–38

I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of the revolutionaries; those men and women who fought for a noble ideal and inspired others to join the fight despite of doing it at the cost of comfort, safety, and in most cases their lives… People who had a clear idea of what was worth fighting for and the goal of leaving behind a legacy for their children, their grandchildren, and the generations to come, even if they didn’t get to see the result in their lifetime. They were committed to fighting or die trying. When we came to Christ and gave Him our lives, we were in fact enlisting in His army. We changed our allegiance from the world and self to Jesus and His Kingdom. We understood that we didn’t want to continue our paths as enemies of God, and we accepted the reconciliation offered through Christ alone. As we grow in the knowledge of what this reconciliation and adoption into the family of God means, we also need to learn what is required of us as Christians. As we continue our series on the book of Acts, my prayers is that in the text we’ll study today we’ll be able to clearly understand the true commitments of a Christian.
