in our final instalment of this series, Cam explores a big question which was asked long ago - 'what shall we do' in response to the Gospel?
This week Maguerite Leggett looks at another tough topic for today's church - does God continue to heal today?
In this installment, Cam Buchanan explores a big topic for today's church - how we interact with the Holy Spirit today. Do the things in Acts still have an expression today?
This week Cam brings us a summary of the book of Acts, giving us a few key words to remember from the series thus far.
This week John Barrows speaks on the subject of personal testimony and the power it can have on the listener
This week Cam explores Paul's major pastoral address to the elders of the Ancient church of Ephesus, and finds a way to lead the modern-day believer into embracing Paul's ancient teaching for themselves.
This week Cam explores the ministry work of Paul in Corinth. Up to this point, this is the largest assignment of his second journey, and the longest stay. There is evidence to suggest he was also quite intimidated by this part of the journey, and Cam talks today about some parallels between the intimidating ministry he faced and the ministry we face today as well.
This week, we look at some ministry events in the ancient city of Ephesus. At the beginning, Chrisa Telford took us on a visual journey through the ancient city with footage they had personally taken. Following this, Cam explores some of the faith ideas that were floating around that Paul had a chance to speak into.
This is an in-depth look at the ministry and speech of Paul in the ancient city of Athens. Cam explains the philosophies which were in play, the history of the city and its religion, and the way Paul carefully, respectfully and reasonably engages with this highly influential group of people. And, he takes some time to show how we can see ourselves in this passage - there's a whole lot of 'Athens' in the way we think and live today in the West, and this passage shows how we can engage with that.
This week, Cam explores the beginnings of the Second Missionary Journey, and finds a number of things worth looking at as we consider the modern mission fields of our own lives.
It was Father's Day, so it seemed appropriate to encourage our dads through the scriptures. This passage in Acts shows the way a father engaged with his faith, and the effect it had on his whole family.
This week Cam takes us on a tour of the First Missionary Journey of Paul and Barnabas. In this tour, he shows us 3 'belief blockers' which were present then, and may be present today as well in our own missional contexts.
This week Peter Telford brings an encouragement to the church about holding true when the world persecutes.
This week, it was a school holiday weekend, and our first "Kid's Takeover" event. So in this message, Cam teams up with a bunch of kids to tell the story. There's a few silent bits as different people move around the stage, but hopefully the recording will go at a pace that is easy to listen along to!
This week Cam looks at Saul after his conversion experience. He looks at the journey of the church as they sought to embrace him after years of hostility, and we got a glimpse of the state of play in the church after they've done well in their latest challenge.
This week Peter Telford completes the last of three sermons on the ministry of Philip. He has some pretty good insights about the way the scriptures stood out to this particular eunuch and they way they led him to Jesus.
This is the middle message of three that focus on Philip the Evangelist and his ministry - messages that Cam believes are of vital importance for today's church. The messages before and after will be online soon after we sort out some technical issues!
This is the first of 3 messages centered on Philip the Evangelist. This week, Cam uses his example to explore the way an evangelist is made up. What makes them so suited to the task? What is the scope of their work? How does the church back them up?
This week Ian Brown explores a challenging time in the life of the early church. We see a great need, but we also see the emergence of new leadership who are equal to the task - the seven deacons!
This week Cam explores the ministry of the first martyr of the faith. His death is one part, but his message began the ripple which caused the gospel to get out to the rest of the world...
This story features a rather intense interruption to the great success the church was having. But don't let the surface topic fool you - there is something at work that goes much deeper than a poor choice at offering time, and Marguerite Leggett captures that deeper thing well in this message.
This week one of our church elders, John Barrows, speaks on Acts Chapters 3&4. He looks at what it meant to be a witness in those early days and the persecution that would follow, as well as the incredible work of the Holy Spirit that was taking place while the church took its stand!
Today Cam explores the last portion of Acts 2, which speaks about the way of life in the first century church as it got off the ground. This way featured a lot of elements which are still important for the modern church to continually pursue as well, and this week's message calls us to revisit and perhaps re-capture those things.
This week Cam continues to explore Acts 2, in particular the first sermon of the apostle Peter. We're led to believe that this was a pretty long sermon on the day, and this sermon simply captures some key themes and ideas for use in our own life and missional contexts
Acts is an awesome book in the Bible which shows us the DNA of the early church. We're exploring it all and looking for ways which the Book of Acts can come to life in ourselves as well as the community around us. We hope you enjoy the journey! This week, Cam Buchanan speaks on the final instructions of Christ before ascending to heaven, as well as the Day of Pentecost
