“The We of Wealth: The Wealth of Giving,” Acts 20:35
So this is our third and final week in “The We of Wealth” series. And we finally get to the money…sort of. The church of Jerusalem was together and had everything in common. They were of one heart and one mind meaning that first and foremost they valued each other. They valued each other more...

“The We of Wealth: Living in Awe of God even as We’re Having Feelings of Want,” Acts 2:43
Last week we started talking about “The We of Wealth.” How the church of Jerusalem was described to be all together, as having everything in common, that they were of one heart and of one mind, that they valued each other not only more than they valued themselves, but actually valued each other more than...

“The We of Wealth: So Much More than Money,” Acts 2:42-47, 4:32-35
This week we’re starting a new series called, “The We of Wealth.” We’ve been talking about “WE” all year.

Miracles are signs that point to Jesus and they are wonders that reveal the Messiah…The miracles would have been meaningless if the Messiah hadn’t been preached. If...

“We Have the Holy Spirit: He Builds Our Character,” Acts 2:40-47, Hebrews 12:1-2
In the last three weeks we’ve been talking about the reality that we have the Holy Spirit. He is not something we try to get hold of. We have the Holy Spirit because Jesus said, “If you are in me the Holy Spirit will come and live with you and will live in you.” So...

“We Have the Holy Spirit: He Empowers Our Witness” Acts 1-2
Last week we talked about the identity of the Spirit-filled, that the Holy Spirit is a person, that He is God, that He is another Helper, which means that He is just like Jesus and He lives in everyone who believes in Him. Jesus taught us that there would be specific things that the Holy...

“We Have the Holy Spirit: Marked by the Holy Spirit” John 16:4-15
This week we begin a new series that we’re just calling, “We Have the Holy Spirit.” We moved from praying, from asking for the Holy Spirit as Jesus talked about it in Luke 11:13 to the Holy Spirit living in us as it is defined in John 14,15 and 16. If you are in Christ,...
