The Reigning Word
Mark Howard
The rulers of this world rise and fall but as Christians, we are citizens of an enduring, eternal kingdom. Acts 12 gives us confidence by helping us relate these two realities.
The Growing and Grounding Word
Mark Howard
In business, rapid growth often brings new challenges. How do you grow, but also maintain your original vision and values? In Acts 11, we see how God helps the church navigate this tension.
The Impartial Word
Mark Howard
In our series so far, we’ve seen the Word overflowing the boundaries of Jerusalem and Judea and on into Samaria. In Acts 10, the dam bursts and God shows that the message of Christ is for all nations.
The Life-giving Word
Mark Howard
It often feels as though the church has lost its power and is experiencing a spiritual ‘blackout’. However, Acts 9:31-43 shows that we are still connected to the spiritual grid. Jesus is still transforming people by his life-giving power.
The Strengthening Word
Brian Stenson
Last time we saw the powerful way Jesus turned Paul’s life around. In Acts 9:19-31, we now see how he and the Church went from strength to strength by God’s Word.
The Confronting Word
David Royes
In Acts 9, we see the Word advance as the risen Lord confronts one of his biggest opponents!
The Pursuing Word
Mark Howard
Jesus came to earth on a search and rescue mission. In Acts 8:26-40, this mission continues as Jesus uses His Word to seek and save all kinds of people.
The Greater Word
Mark Howard
Jesus has all power and authority. We say we believe this but how should it impact our life as a church and as individuals?
The Unrestricted Word
Mark Howard
In Acts 7 we see the clash of two kinds of religion. The first is the outmoded, ritualistic faith of the leaders in Jerusalem. The other is the unhindered world-wide movement that continues today as a result of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The Word on the move
Mark Howard
In Acts 1-2 the Lord Jesus launches and equips the church to be his witnesses. In the following chapters, we see how this mission is opposed. In Acts 7, things reach fever pitch with the stoning of Stephen, but God uses that terrible event to move the mission forward.
