Sun, 27 August 2006 The Lord has designed
His church to be organic - to flow out of His nature, LIFE and Spirit. This
message looks at one biblical church that was organic. Is
ours/yours? Read Acts 11:19-30. Comments[0] |
Sun, 20 August 2006 How much do we do in
life just because it's what we know, what we're familiar and comfortable with?
The first Christians (almost all Jews) had the same problem. They never dreamed
of telling non-Jews about Jesus. It took God working outside their own little
zone to finally draw Peter out. Who's outside of our zone, off our radar? How

Church. Read Acts 10-11. Comments[0] |
Sun, 20 August 2006 The Lord brings about a
radical change in his followers so that the good news message of salvation in
Jesus will go to all people, not just a select few. What radical change does the
Lord want to bring about in you for the same reason? Read Acts 10:25-48. Comments[0] |
Sun, 13 August 2006 Unlike Saul, most of us
aren't blinded by a flash of light and hear a mysterious voice when we first
meet Jesus. But one thing is the same - meeting Jesus brings change. How did
Saul change after he met the living Christ? How didn't he change? And what

change that God is working in us to help us grow into the individuals God
created us to become. Read Acts 9:1-30. Comments[0] |

real change in the aspirations, motives, attitudes, values and behaviors of the
person. Read Acts 9:1-30. Comments[0] |

Wed, 9 August 2006 Have you ever wanted a
little adventure in your life? Phillip was a guy who had a pretty adventurous
experience - dynamic work in foreign locations, confronting evil magicians,
meeting strangers on desert roads, and being magically transported to another
town! What can we learn from Phil about living a life of adventure? Read Acts 8.

Thu, 3 August 2006 We see from the life
and testimony of Stephen that the church was a vastly new paradigm, and some
people would not accept yet. Rather than recant his faith in Christ, Stephen
gave his life as the first Christian martyr. Likewise, for the church today, the
easy way is not necessarily the best way. Read Acts 7:37-8:1. Comments[0] |
