July 31, 2022 - A CHURCH THAT PRESSES IN

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 6.1-7 Jobey McGinty From the church's beginnings until now, we see clearly that thriving, gospel community doesn't just happen, nor does it happen without personal sacrifice.  The early church leaders quickly realized that they had gaps, and that they would not be able to do it all...they needed others to press in, to serve, and to ensure all of the needs of the community were met.  While this service can feel overwhelming at times, we remember the words of our Lord, Jesus (It is more blessed to give than to receive), we draw upon the strength of His Spirit, and we press in.

July 24, 2022 - WE MUST OBEY GOD

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 5.12-42 Jobey McGinty After witnessing Jesus' life, death and resurrection Peter and John were forever changed, but they were still not sure of what would come next or what their lives would be like.  Once they received the Spirit, however, several things quickly came into focus.  They knew for certain that they must obey God's call on their lives to speak the truth boldly, with gentleness, kindness, humility and, most importantly, love.  They knew their message would be unpopular and not everyone would accept it, but they made up their minds to obey, plant seeds and trust God with the harvest.  God's call on the lives of His followers today is the same, and the world will likely respond the same...persecution is guaranteed.  Thankfully, God's gift of the Spirit is also the same and in Him we can preach boldly and selflessly love those we are preaching to, whatever their response.

May 29, 2022 - THE GOSPEL: POWER UNTO SALVATION

Acs: Save to be Sent - Acts 2.37-41 Jobey McGinty We can read about the early church in the book of Acts (stories of thousands coming to faith from a single sermon) and feel like these were "professional" Christians, well beyond ordinary followers like us.  But the truth is that most of them were likely still trying to wrap their minds around who Jesus was and what He came to do when He was suddenly killed.   For most of them, it probably wasn't until Jesus left and they received the Spirit that their eyes were opened to the truth of who Jesus actually was.  These were baby Christians leading thousands to faith! God sought out commoners, the unlearned, those without cultural acceptance or influence, and then He breathed His Spirit into them and spoke through them...and He is still doing that today.  You and I can have this same Spirit of power and can see God work mightily through us in spite of, and even because of, our weakness.  He doesn't need your resumé or your proven track record.  He brings both.  He simply asks you to trust and obey!
