ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (02 of 30)

Today, we continue our study of the book of Acts... Yesterday we talked about how the disciples were energized and ready to share the good news of Jesus’s resurrection...   And yet they were told to wait on God's timing... So, what now? 

(Acts 1)

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (01 of 30)

The Book of Acts does much more than just chronicle the early days of the Church. It reveals the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the power He brings to the believer even today...

And so, today we begin a study of the book of Acts entitled Recovering the power of the 1st Century Church.

(Acts 1)

Upside Down - Agents of Change (10 of 10)

Rather than a series of separate statements, the Beatitudes given by Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount, contain a rich and concise picture of the believer's life. By starting with a right perspective of our spiritual condition, Ron Moore explains we can find contentment in every area of our lives, no matter the circumstances, as we wrap up this 2-week series.

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Persecuted and Exalted (09 of 10)

Usually, negative feedback is a sign something is wrong. But in the case of persecution, it can serve as proof that we are living a God-honoring life. Ron Moore takes a closer look at the issue of persecution and helps us see what it is and what it is not. We'll also learn what Jesus meant when He said, "blessed are those who are persecuted."

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Peaceful and Childlike (08 of 10)

Peace can feel like an unattainable ideal at times. If there's not trouble with the neighbors, then it's a family member causing problems. How do we become peacemakers? Ron Moore takes us to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount to find the answers.

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Inside and Out (07 of 10)

The way we as Christian's act in public is important. But right actions come from a right heart, a heart properly aligned and completely given to Christ. Ron Moore looks at this instruction from the Beatitudes and helps us understand how to keep a pure heart in a world wallowing in the mud.

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Compassion and Action (06 of 10)

Compassion plus action equals mercy. That's the simple formula Ron Moore introduces to help us understand this important characteristic. We'll look at several events in Jesus' life where He demonstrated mercy, and we'll learn several practical ways to demonstrate mercy in our homes and community today.

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Hungry and Filled (05 of 10)

"Blessed are those who hunger for righteousness, for they will be filled." This is the fourth of the Beatitudes given by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. But what does it mean to hunger for righteousness? Ron Moore answers that question and shows us how we can embrace this life-changing promise of God.

(Matthew 5)

Upside Down - Gentle and Secure (04 of 10)

Many people would say happiness is reserved for those who boldly seize control of their destiny. But Jesus said it's the meek who will inherit the earth. Bible Teacher Ron Moore takes a closer look at this sometimes-confusing statement and helps us to see how meekness is not weakness. Along the way, we'll learn how to find true happiness in obedience to God's will.

(Matthew 5)

 

Upside Down - Repentant and Comforted (03 of 10)

Where is comfort for those who are mourning? While we often interpret this Beatitude as an assurance for those suffering loss, there's a lot more to this promise. Bible Teacher Ron Moore takes us through the Scriptures to find the ultimate source of our sorrow. Because once we understand the cause, we'll know where to find comfort for those who mourn.

(Matthew 5)
