John 14-16; Ezekiel 37
The Holy Spirit is as much a person within the godhead as is the Father and the Son, and brings the presence of God closer to us than ever before.
Imperfect Leadership
Acts 15:36-16:5
Jim unpacks an awkward moment in the Early Church, as Paul & Barnabas let a disagreement impact their mission. God, in His kindness, uses imperfect leaders to build His kingdom, even people like us.
God: Father, Son & Spirit
John 14:15-26
To begin our Evening Service series on the Holy Spirit and set it in its proper context, Jim opens up the teaching of God in Trinity, beginning with Jesus' own words about it.
Radical Resilience
Acts 14:8-28
As Paul and Barnabas continue their evangelistic mission they come against some heavy opposition. They’re somehow able to keep going - how? And why?
Evangelism
Acts 13:44-14:7
Paul and Barnabas risked their lives to tell people about Jesus, over and over again. Some resisted, but to others, that introduction changed their lives. How good are we at introducing people to Jesus?
Word and Power
Acts 13: 4-43
Barnabas and Paul set out on their journey, preaching in synagogues and demonstrating the Kingdom. From Paul we can learn how to share Jesus in relevant ways to our hearers and by using "what we have in our hands".
Acts 1-13: The Story So Far
Acts 1:1-13:3
Jim recaps the sermon series so far, taking a morning to look at some of the themes and challenges that run through the first 13 chapters of Acts.
Models of Leadership and Our Image of God
Acts 12:19-13:3
The death of Herod and the commissioning at Antioch are placed next to each other for the sake of contrast--they reveal the difference between earthly, and Kingdom leadership.
The Dog Next Door
Acts 12:1-19
Peter escapes from prison and enjoys a comic interlude with his supporters.
Up the Antioch
Acts 11:19-30
In this passage we see the formation of the first multi-ethnic church. It's in this context that Barnabas brings Saul alongside for a foundational year of ministry.
