ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (08 of 30)

We're in Acts chapter six and seven today. The persecution was beginning to ramp up, and soon its target would be Stephen. Now, Stephen is famous for being the first Christian martyr. But before we focus on his death, we're going to investigate his life.

(Acts 6 and Acts 7)

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (07 of 30)

As we continue our study in the book of Acts, we quickly learn that one of the keys to tapping into God's power through the Holy Spirit, is prayer. We see that illustrated as we begin our study in Acts 4.

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (06 of 30)

We're into the second week of our series in the book of Acts, and there's a lot of important events taking place in the birth of this 1st century church. And thanks to Luke, there's plenty of detail for us to apply to the 21st century church. 

(Acts 4)

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (05 of 30)

If you have been following our study in the book of Acts, yesterday we looked at chapter 2 which lays out Peters first opportunity to preach. But we need to be aware of the fact that Peter's ability to preach didn't happen overnight. We have to consider that he's been under the tutelage of Jesus Christ himself.  

(Acts 3)

 

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (04 of 30)

In yesterday's study, the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to speak in languages they never spoke before and it was amazing, not only that this event happened but that it happened at just the right time... 

Well, today we'll see that this special Pentecost event also provided Peter with his very first opportunity to preach.

(Acts 2)

ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (03 of 30)

Welcome to our ongoing study series of the Book of Acts. Today, we're looking at chapter two, one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible, because it talks about the day of Pentecost.  

(Acts 2)

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)
