Sunday message from Jeff Badgero on Acts 16.
BEING a Christian
Sermon Scripture: Acts 15:1-35 Sermon Big Idea: Becoming a Christian and being a Christian shouldn’t be two different things. Surrendering to Jesus makes us a Christian and surrendering to Jesus is what being a Christian is all about. Acts 15:1-11 Becoming a Christian is about grace not law. Ephesians 2:4-7 Exodus 4:24-26 Galatians 2:15-16 Matthew 11:28-30 Acts 15:12-21 Being a Christian is surrendering to the authority of Holy Spirit filled Elders. Galatians 2:11-14 Acts 15:24-26,28-29 Being a Christian is a How COVID has affected us
To Die is Gain
Sermon Scripture: Acts 6:8-7:60 Sermon Big Idea: Surrendering your life to Jesus means surrendering it ALL. Hebrews 11:35b-40 Acts 6:8-9 Being full of the Holy Spirit doesn’t take you off Satan’s radar. Acts 6:10-15 When people’s beliefs are threatened, they go a long way to defend. Stephen used familiar stories to defend Jesus. Acts 7:51-53 Acts 7:54-60 Many stories like Stephen’s end in tragedy, but the fight goes on. Stories of martyrdom give us a whole new perspective on the How COVID has affected us
Acts 4
Acts 4:23-31 When times got rough the First thing the Church did was Pray When they prayed, they prayed for the Right Things and with the Right Focus Less prayers for physical freedom and more prayers for spiritual freedom Less prayers for safety and security, and more prayers for salvation and sanctification Less prayers for free will and more prayers to be filled with the Holy Spirit Acts 4:32-37 They were Bold in their Generosity They understood that all their possessions and money, didn’t belong to them anyway; they belong to God They were one in heart and mind Other Scripture James 4:2-3 Psalms 24:1 Ephesians 4:3-6
Every Christian Needs…
Every Christian needs a Paul (a mentor) Every Christian needs a Barnabas (an encourager) Every Christian needs a Timothy (a mentee)
Influence when Life Doesn’t give you Roses
Luke 16:19-23
Wait but don’t wait
Sermon Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:6-9, Matthew 19:11-12, 1 Timothy 5:1-16 The bedroom for singles is a construction zone in which only the owner is allowed. Singleness can be freeing but also discouraging. Wait, don’t “awaken love until it pleases.” But, don’t wait to be who God created you to be. What the Bible says about being single… 1 Corinthians 7:7-8 It’s good Be as Paul was Matthew 19:10-12 Marriage isn’t God’s plan for everyone Better to stay single than become How COVID has affected us
