Upright Life - Acts 24

April 28, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 24:10–16

The Apostle Paul was not perfect, but purposeful. His passion for the spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ models how Christians’ integrity is grown through the investment of time and truth. For Graduates launching to the next step – the seeds they sow will yield fruit for years to come. Intentional investment in a life that is lived for Christ isn’t about our success, but Christ's.

Undead Faith

April 21, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 23:1–11

The truth of Jesus Christ’s resurrection and the promise to all who believe is unique to Biblical Christianity. That means it conflicts with the view of the unbelieving world and other religions (including some that claim to be “Christian”.)

Don't Jesus+

April 7, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 22, Acts 21

There is no necessary act beyond the Cross of Jesus Christ that can make you more saved.

SUM Gospel - Acts 20

March 17, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 20

If you’re a Christian, the question isn’t if you’ll witness for the faith, it’s if you want the genuine blessing received for being all-in as an example of Jesus Christ’s love to the world.

MOMENT-um - Acts 18

March 3, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 18

God uses whom God wills. When you are faithful to the calling in front of you for however long you are called to do so, God will give the increase.

REAL-igion - Acts 17

February 25, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 17

It doesn’t take long to make idols that embody our hopes and dreams. When we do we miss out on the reality of God’s real presence and power that helps us actually live lives worth living.

Rerouting Life - Acts 16

February 11, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 16

Would you risk everything for the sake of someone you loved? God’s call can send us in an unplanned direction where we will see God’s desired results.

Less is More

February 4, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 15:1–35

What are the “rules” for a Christian? Really, we need the God-given boundaries, not the human legalese. The declaration is more simple, sane, and secure…and more than you may know.

Examples (Acts 14)

January 28, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 14

When you’re sick, you need the right medicine. Some remedies for human sin have been false, futile, and fatal. The true healing is in the Good News of Jesus Christ. Now, how do we get it to people?

Straight Truth

January 21, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 13

In a world of competing claims and declarations of “relative truth” it is good to know the Simple, Straight Truth that a crooked world needs to hear.

Escaping Death

January 14, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 12

The great moments of faith have happened in chains both literal and figurative. Until you’ve become aware of your captivity, you may not become aware of God’s deliverance. If you miss it, the price may be your life..

Identified Church

January 7, 2024 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 11:19–30

The historical purpose for the believer and the church is rather radical. We received a name, that caught on and is carried on by our activity of faith in Jesus Christ.

Differencing

November 12, 2023 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 9

There are no small parts to play in the story of Jesus Christ’s church. Everyone who acts in obedience to the Holy Spirit becomes a marker on the trail that leads others to Salvation in Jesus Christ.

Community Clarified, Part 2

November 5, 2023 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 2:43–47

You are part of God’s intended, attractive community.

Acts 8 - On Location with God

October 22, 2023 • Jay Abernathy • Acts 8:4–40

God has in place whatever it takes to connect the Good News to someone. Whether you are the hearer or the sharer, look for the miracle in it all. Your life events and situation are full of echoes of what Jesus Christ has done. Learn to look for it and you’ll be in the Spirit in the Moment, wherever you go.
