Eyewitness - ACTS - Olive Knolls Church of the Nazarene

Ananias and Sapphira, the Hypocrites

June 2, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 5:1–11

This story is warning to all of us about the danger of hypocrisy. Pretending and misleading others is dangerous! Lying to the Holy Spirit could be catastrophic.

John Mark, the Quitter

May 26, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 13:5–13, Acts 15:36–41

If you are a John Mark who was abandoned the journey of serving the Lord, walking with Jesus and being useful to God’s kingdom, you can come back. Your past choices and mistakes do not have to dictate your future direction. In Christ, you can change.

Simon, the Imposter

May 19, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 8:9–24

False Prophets have always been a problem in the church! Let’s identify the imposter syndrome but let’s be careful! It is so easy to be deceived and seek a power to glorify yourself instead of God! Celebrating Graduates this Sunday! Celebrating Marilyn Illingworth - 35 years of service to the Olive Knolls Church!

Matthias, the Irrelevant Disciple

May 12, 2024 • Brent Kall • Acts 1:12–26

Have you ever felt overlooked or irrelevant? Like no one sees, knows, or cares about you or what you do? We are not irrelevant to God and he uses our seemingly irrelevant lives to build His Church.

Philip, the Evangelist

May 5, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 8:4–8, Acts 8:26–40

Evangelism is a scary word to many! Some see it as a preacher standing in a stadium, like Billy Graham. God’s Word gives a broader description. Let’s explore how you can evangelize your sphere of influence.

Barnabas, the Encourager

April 28, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 4:36–37, Acts 11:19–30

Not everyone is called to preach or stage on a stage, but God also calls people to come along side and ENCOURAGE! Today we will explore what it means to encourage!

Peter - the Preacher

April 21, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 2

Big Idea: The Holy Spirit empowers us to be bold and courageous. Preaching without the Spirit would be futile and sharing without the Spirit would be useless.

The Power You Need

April 14, 2024 • Kevin Hardy • Acts 1

To many of us try to live the Christian Life in our own power. Jesus gave specifics instructions to those who follow HIM. Wait, Pray, Receive, Go!
