Acts

The Joy of Sharing (Acts 1)

Missionary C.T. Studd once said, "I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the pleasures that this world can give...but I can tell you that those pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving of that one soul gave me.” In the final part of this sermon, we talk about the place of missions in the local church.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1)

The Holy Spirit is alive and active! He alone gives you the power to obey the Great Commission.

Go and Make Disciples (Acts 1)

The responsibility of being a witness did not end with Peter and the original twelve apostles. Each new generation is expected to "grab the baton" and faithfully pass it on to the next generation.

Believing Together (Acts 2:37-44)

We tend to think of salvation in individual terms. Each of us are saved into a personal relationship with Jesus. This is true, and it's a wonderful reality. But it's not the full story. We are also saved to be part of something bigger than ourselves, called the church. In this study of Acts 2, we discover...
Why becoming part of a church family is not always easy
The only way we can be delivered from sin
Four activities that marked the early church and should characterize us as well
The importance of the Holy Spirit in our worship
How "body" imagery teaches both diversity and unity in the church
Taking the next step in your church involvement
Thanks for listening. This is part 2 in our series "Welcome to the Family," helping people to believe and belong at Immanuel. We hope wherever you are that you will find a church home and plant your roots deep in a local, Bible-believing church. If you are in the Highland/San Bernardino area, come visit us as Immanuel! We would love to meet you and help you find a place to settle and serve.

The Church at Prayer (Acts 2:42)

All would agree prayer is important. But many of us must admit we do not pray as much as we'd like. In this message, we focus on one specific type of prayer - corporate prayer – that could change how we view prayer and Christian ministry. In this study, we learn...
The benefits of corporate prayer
Why prayer is more than just a preface to ministry
The importance of prayer in Spurgeon's life
How to stay focused in prayer
Thanks for listening. 

In the Beginning (Acts 2)

To understand why the church exists today and how it should function, we must go back to its beginning.

From Socrates to Jesus (Acts 17)

Athens was always on the lookout for something new, but the Apostle Paul brought a message that would change the city forever.

The Conversation of an Evangelist (Acts 8:26-40)

Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch displays the art of gospel conversation-making.

The Caution of an Evangelist (Acts 8:9-25)

Simon discovers a power greater than magic, but fails to humble himself before God.

The Clarity of an Evangelist (Acts 8:5)

The simple message of the gospel is this: Jesus saves sinners.
