Everything changes when you follow Jesus but if that’s true why is there so much hypocrisy among Christians? Today we will talk about how a true believer can be a hypocrite but they can’t stay that way for very long!
Hypocrisy: People are Watching
May 6, 2024 • Lisa Laizure
We know as Christians we shouldn’t be hypocrites. But sometimes we are. But there’s a big problem with that as we will see today from two people – Ananias and Saphira. Join us as we continue in the book of Acts.
Encouragers are God’s jumper cables
April 29, 2024
Someone once said that encouragers are God’s jumper cables for the church. Today we will see how different the Apostle Paul’s life and John Mark’s life would have been without a man named Barnabas who encouraged them to keep going. Join us today as we continue in the book of Acts.
Why are we so DISCOURAGED?
April 22, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 4:36–37
Discouragement. We all feel it. The sickness won’t go away. The marriage is on the rocks. The kids are a disaster. So how can we stop from being discouraged? Join us today as we continue in the book of Acts.
What God Does When We Are DISCOURAGED
April 15, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 4:32–35
Discouragement. Life just brings that on. But what should we do when we feel discouraged? What does the Bible say God does when we are discouraged? Join us as we continue our study in the Book of Acts.
Praying with OPEN HANDS
April 8, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 4:29–31
Prayer. We usually pray because we need something from God and we believe He will give it to us. But is that what prayer is all about? Because a lot of times God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we want. Life doesn’t go like we planned. So should we be looking at prayer differently? Possibly yes. Join us today as we continue in the book of Acts.
Trusting an AMAZING GOD Who Can Do ANYTHING
April 1, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 4:23–28
Nothing ever happens in our life that God does not know about or that He isn’t in control of. That is such good news and our job is to surrender our lives to this amazing God so we can be used by Him on this earth. Join us today as we see how the early disciples felt about God after Peter and John’s release from jail!
Discouraged. Despised. Defeated. Jesus Is Worth It.
March 25, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 4:23–28
We all have days where we feel Discouraged, despised, and defeated. These are the days we can’t seem to understand what God is doing. We don’t know why people don’t want to hang out with us anymore. We try to tell people about Jesus and they laugh at us. But as we grow up in our faith none of that bothers us anymore because we know that our mission in life is to follow Jesus wherever He leads. Join us today as we continue in Acts.
When We CAN’T Walk Away From Jesus
March 18, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 3:19—4:20
What if you were thrown in jail because of your faith in Jesus? How would you respond? Today we will see what happens when Peter and John are locked up in a jail cell and their response is amazing. They were courageous. They were bold and it made them WANT to tell even more people about Jesus. Join us today as we see that when we follow Jesus His message burns in our soul and we CAN’T walk away from Him no matter what hardship comes our way.
Religion Kills – Jesus Saves
March 11, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 3:11–19
Religion is so different from a relationship with Jesus. Religion is about rules and regulations. Do’s and don’t. Religion is about power and control. Today we will learn that religion kills and Jesus saves.
When God DOESN’T do what we ASK
March 4, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 3:4–10
We need a miracle. We pray. We believe God will give us what we ask for. But here’s the reality – sometimes He does and sometimes He doesn’t. So what do we do with the times when He doesn’t? Join us today as we see a lame man from birth get healed which begs the question – why him and not me?
ASK But Be Ready For ANY ANSWER
February 27, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 3:1–3
Life can be so difficult and when it is, we pray. And after we pray we wait for an answer but so often all we hear is silence. What do we do? Join us today to see why God doesn't always take away our pain or our bad circumstances.
When Prayer Feels Defeating
February 19, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 3:1–2
Miracles. We all need them. So we pray and ask God for them. And then nothing happens. And prayer feels like a waste of time. It feels so defeating. So we think it might be best to just quit asking God for His help. But before you do that - let’s hear today why prayer really does work whether it is answered the way we want or not!
What are we DEVOTING our life to?
February 12, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 2:42–47
The early church. How did they grow up in their faith? How did they learn about Jesus? How did they become powerful witnesses for Jesus? Well – it all began with a devotion – a commitment to four things and when we do these four things it will change our lives just like it did for the early followers of Jesus. Join us today to see what those four things are
We Have a CHOICE. Follow Jesus or Not.
February 5, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • Acts 2:37–41
We hear someone preach. We are told about Jesus being the ONLY way to God. And now we have a choice to make. Should we Follow Jesus or not? And if we decide to follow Jesus we are told of this first step: Repent. Join us today to see what this means.
