Listen to audio; Book of Acts – Lessons of Hope
Objective: Inspire hope, boldness and confidence amongst Christians.
Buildings don’t generally shake when we have a prayer, people are not struck blind for a season when they oppose us, jailhouse doors don’t just flop open. These are things that just don’t happen to the average Christian every day, so what are we to learn from the Book of Acts? The same God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is still in control of His church, guiding and directing with the same purpose and power even during our troubled times.

These are devote and religious folks, but they are misled. Paul explains some things to them (and to us) about their “unknown God”. These are things that are important for everyone to know about God.

Listen to audio; Acts 09;1-22 – Elements Of Salvation
Because we want to appreciate the love others have for God, because we want to endorse and encourage their faith and commitment to god, we are often in danger of becoming acceptant of things that are not really true, and of failing to hold on to some things that are true.
In this regard, it is important that we occasionally review what the Scriptures teach as fundamental elements of salvation; even for “believers”!
