Sermon – Least Likely

Post image for Sermon – Least Likely

This is the first sermon in the series titled “Acts in 3 Acts: Act 2”.

Theme – One of the most amazing stories in Scripture is the conversion of Saul, the enemy of Christianity.  But even more amazing is the fact that God chose this persecutor of Christians to be his instrument to take Christ’s name to the Gentile world!  The good news for us in all this?  If God can use someone like Saul, he can certainly use someone like me.

The text for the sermon was taken from Acts 9:1-2 and Acts 9:3-9.

Sermon – What’s God Up To?

by wpadmin on January 31, 2010

Post image for Sermon – What’s God Up To?

This was a continuation of our missional dialog dealing with non-incremental, sudden change  that threatens existing or traditional authority  or power  structures, because it drastically alters the way things are currently done or have been done for years.

Theme – We live in an age of incredible change.  And it’s getting more and more difficult to know how to be the church in a world that seems so unstable and unpredictable.  So what’s the solution?  That’s a good question.  The best place to start is to simply ask the question, “What’s God up to?”

The text for the sermon was taken from Acts 7:59-8:3 and Acts 8:26-40.

This is the second sermon in the series titled “Twenty-Ten: Priorities for a New Year”.
