God With Us: Acts, Week 2 The Ministry in Jerusalem Acts 3-7 In the first phase, the apostles present the message of the crucified and risen Lord to their fellow countrymen in Jerusalem. After much conflict and persecution, the Jerusalem phase of ministry comes to a head with the testimony of Stephen, a young Jewish man who was a devout follower of Jesus. With his execution by stoning, it was as if the Jewish leaders were slamming the door on the apostolic re-offer of the gospel of forgiveness and redemption through the crucified and risen Savior/Messiah Jesus.

God With Us: Acts, Week 1 The Birth of the Church (Acts 1-2) In Acts, Luke narrates how, after the ascension of Jesus back into heaven, His disciples obeyed His commission (they acted, thus the name) to take the gospel, in the power of the Spirit, to the ends of the earth. The overall theme of Acts can be summarized as follows: The Spirit-empowered proclamation of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

When Jesus says he is the Alpha and Omega, He means that He is the beginning and the end of human history.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 24King: The Post-Resurrection Appearances of Jesus During the 40 days following His resurrection, Jesus appeared many times in many places to individuals and groups of people. Only a few of the appearances are recorded in the 4 gospels. The empty tomb, combined with His numerous post-resurrection appearances and the impact these had on His followers, constitute the evidence proving that Jesus defeated death, as He said He would.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 22 High Priest: A Final Prayer Sometime after He left the upper room with His disciples and before they arrived at the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus stopped to pray. This prayer is found only in John 17. It has been called “the high-priestly prayer” of Jesus, because He takes His stand as the priestly intercessor, mediating the relationship between God and man. He intercedes on behalf of Himself, His disciples and all future believers. This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 21King: Triumph and Trouble At the beginning of Passover week, Jesus came into Jerusalem accompanied by a huge crowd celebrating the arrival of the man they hoped would be their king. Following this triumphal entry, Jesus encountered resistance from religious leaders who had already decided they must find a way to put him to death. This sets the stage for quite a tumultuous week.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 20Master: The Upper Room Discourse Only the gospel of John contains an extended “Upper Room Discourse” that Jesus spoke to His disciples on the last night of His life. This discourse has been called “marching orders” from Jesus to His disciples, as He was about to leave them in the world to continue with His mission. These are the vital instructions they needed in order to succeed. This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 18 Good Shepherd: And The Gate In John 10 we see the debate between Jesus and the Pharisees heighten as Jesus claimed to be “the good shepherd,” in contrast to the leaders who were “thieves and robbers” that took advantage of the sheep for their own gain.

God With Us: Jesus, Week 15 Seeker – Jesus’ Heart for People The entire Bible is summed up in Luke 19:10; “For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost”. From Genesis, in the Garden of Eden when God came seeking Adam and Eve who were hiding from Him, until the end of the New Testament, God the Son in different forms has been seeking humanity. Jesus displays His heart for lost humanity through His 3 parables in Luke 15. This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.
