Listen or Ignore
Sermon Scripture: Acts 21:1-22:21 Sermon Big Idea: Warning signs come in different ways and we can choose to ignore them or adhere to them. Regardless, there may be consequences. God gave us warning signs. How will we respond to them? Warning signs can be… Physical – Romans 1:20, Verbal – Exodus 16:18-20 Prophetic – Daniel 4:25 From the Holy Spirit – Acts 21:4, 10-11 What really matters is our response. Matthew 10:32-33 – Focus on the promise not the penalty How COVID has affected us
I am Yours
Acts 12:1-25 Sermon Big Idea: James and Peter put their lives into the hands of Jesus. One went to be with Him in eternity, the other was persecuted and then rescued. Herod tried to take the title from Jesus and drank his own cup.

God’s Way

The Agitator
King Ahasuerus rewarded people for the wrong reasons. Mordecai used his belief system to resist allegiance. Haman revealed his character and pride in his resolve. King Ahasuerus remains impulsive and ignorant. We discover the importance of the book of Esther. Theological Lessons: God’s promise to Abraham was about to be in jeopardy. Satan was told he would bruise the heel of Eve’s offspring. God first, country second. Practical Lessons: Surround yourself with people of Godly character. Don’t let pride cause How COVID has affected us
Proven
Psalm 46 God is still our proven help. (v. 1-3) God still sits on His throne. (v. 4-7) Be still and know that He is GOD! (v. 8-11) The world around you may feel like it is crumbling apart, but take hope in the proven power of our almighty God.
Easter Sunday: Where is Jesus?
God alongside us. God with us. God in us. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Galatians 2:20 Hebrews 13:20-21 What is your relationship status with God today?
G-Force
Judges 6-8 Big Idea: Man’s Force is no match for the G Force of God. G Force caused Gideon anxiety about leading. G Force caused the Israelites to rethink who they follow. G Force caused 300 to destroy thousands. The G-Force of God’s faithfulness will distort our thinking and leave us amazed.
