All Things

January 21, 2024 • Andy Adams • Acts 16:1–5, Acts 15:36–41

Give

Acts 15:36-16:5We all have a past: things that we’ve done or that have been done to us that we’re not proud of. What would it mean for you to have those things redeemed by God? Of course God offers forgiveness and grace and restores us to right relationship with him. But do you believe God can actually redeem your painful past and bring good out of it? Paul believed that. In his letter to the church in Rome, Paul proclaimed that God can use ALL things for the good of those who trust him and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). Maybe he had the events of this week’s scripture passage in mine. Bring a friend with you this Sunday and find hope for God to redeem the broken parts of your past!

Farewells

February 18, 2024 • Bonnie Abel • Acts 20:13–38

As we say farewell to our time in the book of Acts, we will learn about what it looked like for Paul to say farewell to the church he loved in Ephesus. This final chapter reads like a letter (fitting for Paul - once a letter writer to churches that were infused by the Holy Spirit and we now know these letters as many of the books of the New Testament). In this concluding chapter Paul shares instructions as he outlines what is important and what he believes to be urgent for the Christians in Ephesus, which is still applicable for us today!

Companions

February 11, 2024 • Andy Adams • Acts 18

Companions Acts 18:1-28 Relationships matter most. Do you believe that? God calls his people to great and challenging tasks for his kingdom purposes, but what matters most are people. Oftentimes we’ll remember the people we accomplished great things with more than the accomplishment itself. As we follow Jesus and his way of life, having companions is crucial. In Acts chapter 18 we read about several of Paul’s closest companions on his missionary journeys. Who are the companions on your journey? Who’s on your team? Join us on Sunday as we are reminded of the importance of companionship in life and ministry.

Common Ground

February 4, 2024 • Andy Adams • Acts 17:16–34

Common Ground Each of us knows people who don’t follow Jesus. Some of them may have grown up in the church but felt it wasn’t relevant for their lives. Others have had very little interaction with the church and might not know the basics of the Christian faith. Regardless, those not following Jesus have chosen to live their life for other pursuits and ideologies. How do we share the good news of God’s love with them? Do we even want to? Join us this Sunday as we explore one of the greatest sermons in the book of Acts: Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill. We will discover not only God’s heart for all people, but some key insights into how to share the good news with those outside the church.
