Pastor Smith continues our study through the book of Acts. Paul stands trial before Felix.
Pastor Smith continues in our study of Acts, picking up in chapter 23 with Paul's trial before the Sanhedrin and his rescue at the hands of the roman tribune.
Paul’s testimony displays the power of God’s grace to save and to use His appointed in the proclamation of the gospel.
As we diligently serve God, we must discern His will and live in obedience to His Word as we depend on His Spirit and His people
Paul's final words and actions remind the followers of Christ of the ministry, model, and motive for the surrendered life.
Sermon Notes:
In this sermon, Pastor Smith concludes our study of the Parables of Jesus in Luke with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. This parable relays the imperative discussion of heaven and hell. Pastor Smith walks us through how the Bible describes Hell and Heaven.
Present choices will determine eternal destinies; therefore, we must examine our belief in God's word.
Sermon Notes
Pastor Smith shares the parable of the unjust manager and helps to highlight the importance of being gracious with the resources we have in order to make eternal investments, rather than temporal ones.
Pastor Schoen shares a message in preparation of the Lord's Supper. What are our anticipations and responsibilities in the life and death of Jesus Christ?
We see in Paul’s dedication to Jesus and his deep love for the church attributes for finishing our life’s course and ministry confidently.
Paul gives us an excellent example of what it means to be totally surrendered to God’s plan.
As the people of God proclaim Jesus, the Son of God, individuals and communities will be changed.
Living all to the glory of God includes maturing in our love for another and going on mission with Jesus in His ministry of reconciliation to the world.
Living All to the Glory of God - The first and most important part of our vision for ministry.
