Happy Father’s Day

Posted by Pastor on June 20, 2010

Here’s to all the Dads out there…

Ephesians 3:14-19
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every fatherhood in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

What Does a NT Church Do?

Posted by Pastor on May 31, 2010

The sermons for yesterday and for next Sunday are inspired by Acts 2:42-47:

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.  And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.  And all who believed were together and had all things in common.  And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.  And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,  praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

One of the challenges of interpreting the book of Acts is determining which events Luke reports as one-time events in redemption history and which he reports as both historical and normative for the church in every age.  I belong to the interpretive school that sees Luke’s description of the church here as a snap-shot of what a healthy Spirit-filled church should look like.

We can see that the church was engaged in four devotions and two habits… WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
