Morning Series: Conversions in Acts

Conversion of 3,000 Souls
Sunday AM Worship - August 2nd, 2020 Acts Chapter 2 is often called "the hub of the Bible" because it is the establishment of the Church on the Day of Pentecost. It was God's plan from before time began!
It all began with those who "gladly received" the words of Peter and the Apostles on that day and did what God asked them to do. These were truly converted people! |

Evening Series: 5 Words in Acts
|
"Attestation" / "Validation"
Sunday PM Worship - August 2nd, 2020 A "witness" is one who testifies of someone or something. The same Greek word for witness is where we get our word "martyr" because of the death of Stephen, the first martyr or witness to die for the cause of Christ after the establishing of the Church.
What does it take for us to be witnesses to God today? |
|
"Inclusion"
Sunday PM Worship - August 9th, 2020 God's plan for salvation always included the Gentiles, but God waited until after the establishment of the Church to show it.
In Acts Chapter 10 and 11, Peter meets a man named Cornelius who not only is converted, but begins the acceptance of the Gentiles among the Jewish Christians! |

"Opposition"
Sunday PM Worship - August 16th, 2020 Opposition to Christ and to His followers only allowed the spread of the Gospel. In trying to stop the spread, those who persecuted the Church were only helping it.

We learn the purpose, some examples, and the principles of church discipline (subtraction). |
