Winning the Secret Battle of Ideas, Acts 17:16-34

Guest Teacher Dr. Jeff Myers

July 2, 2017

In the Apostle Paul’s Acts 17 sermon at Mars Hill in Athens, he reaches the hearts and minds of his audience by using the non-Christian worldviews of the day as a platform from which to communicate the gospel. Today we find ourselves in a secret battle of ideas in which bad ideas penetrate our hearts and minds like viruses and give us unfulfilling answers in our search for love, healing, purpose, peace, and hope. Like Paul, we can learn to spot the fake worldviews of our day and reignite our passion to know and share the power of Jesus to meet our culture’s deepest needs.

1. A battle rages for our hearts and minds
2. It's a battle of ideas
3. Jesus Wins

Access Into Grace, Romans 5:1-2

July 30, 2017 • Kevin Feldotto

We now have peace with God because of Christ’s death on our behalf. Because of that peace we have full access into God’s amazing grace. Unfortunately, that access can be hard to grasp and is often taken for granted. When we fully enter into his grace we can’t help but rejoice in God’s glory. 1. We have been justified (vs. 1) 2. We have peace with God (vs. 1) 3. We have access into grace (vs. 2) 4. We rejoice in hope (vs. 2) Songs: Christ Is Enough #6514035 by R Morgan and J Myrin 2012 Hillsong Music Publishing Love Came Down [J Riddle] #5148938 by J Edwardson, B Johnson, I McIntosh, and J Riddle, 2009 Brian And Jenn Johnson Music, Bethel Music In Christ Alone #3350395 by K Getty and S Townend 2001 Thankyou Music What A Beautiful Name #7068424 by B Fielding and B Ligertwood 2016 Hillsong Music Publishing

Witness, Hebrews 12:1-2

July 30, 2017 • Rich Griffith

Jesus is the author of our faith, the perfecter of our lives and the foundational truth in-which we seek. This faith in Jesus has been witnessed for centuries and has come with much opposition. Our role as believers is to not only celebrate who Jesus is, but to lean into Him during times of persecution, hardship and opposition. He knows the path and is sure to get us home. 1.
