The Adventure Continues - Jerusalem

(Mark 11:1-10) Is God free to have whatever He desires from your life today? With Resurrection Sunday approaching, we begin a new series on "The Most Important Week in History." Allow God to use these next five messages to speak to your heart. (07072230325) 

(Acts 7:60-8:4) If we are going to accomplish the Lord’s work, then we must step out of our comfort zone. In today's Scripture, we see several examples of God’s people stepping out for the furtherance of the gospel. May God help us to make a difference in our Jerusalem and the uttermost parts of the earth. (07071230324) 

(Acts 7:58-8:3) The Lord is not dependent on any of us; we are simply tools for Him to use. In Scripture, you’ll often find the Lord using little hinges to open a big door. Stephen allowed the Lord to use him as a hinge for the furtherance of the gospel — are we willing to do the same?  (07070230323) 

(Acts 7:55-60) Sleeping is a gift from Almighty God! In Scripture, sleep is viewed in the physical realm, but it is also a picture of what happens when a believer dies. If you have put your faith in Him, you simply fall asleep in Jesus when you die. (07069230322) 

(Acts 7:57-60) There are two occasions in Scripture where you see the Lord Jesus standing in Heaven — one is in Acts 7, and the other is in the book of Revelation. Discover today why the Lord Jesus stood then and will stand again someday. (07068230321)

(Acts 7:55-56) At the end of Acts 7, we find a beautiful picture of a man finishing well. Stephen not only started full but finished full. If we want to finish well, the same way Stephen did, then we must serve the Lord and believe that this is not the end of the story. (07067230320) 

(Acts 7:54) We see a picture of rejection in the response of the hearers to Stephen’s sermon. They were not rejecting Stephen; they were rejecting Christ. Many will not accept the truth, but some will receive it — are you willing to share the gospel despite being rejected? (07065230317) 

(Acts 7:44-53) We cannot limit God to one place! In the book of Acts, the people had reduced religion to a building. God is greater than all of that; He cannot be confined to one place or time. (07064230316) 

(Acts 7:35-43) The same God that grants mercy also brings judgment. Beware of turning away from the Lord after He has brought you out of so much difficulty. Today we discover an example for all of us in the story of Israel. (07063230315) 

(Acts 7:11-34) Are you wondering where God is today? We must remember that even in difficult seasons, He is still present and speaking. The Lord is working behind the scenes in every detail of our lives, but we must be ready with listening ears for His direction. (07062230314)
