Sermons on Acts (Page 2)

Fellowship and Hospitality

The early church was devoted to the apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Two of these four, fellowship and breaking of bread, would likely not define the what the modern church is devoted to. As we transition as a church to a new facility and community, it is important that we are devoted to hospitality and table fellowship in our homes and in the church.

Silver, Gold, and Jesus Christ

Pastor Alex Russell continues his sermon series through the book of Acts. Here we see an incredible gift, more precious that silver or gold, being given to a lame man begging at the temple.

Pentecost and Prophecy

Pastor Alex Russell continues his series through the book of Acts examining the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy as preached by Peter. We are challenged to see the manifold blessings of the outpouring of the Spirit and its continuing effects into our time. Passage: Acts 2:14-21

This is instructive for us today as we navigate increasing government overreach into the home and church. Passage: Acts 17:1-9
