The Acts of the Apostles: The Model Church pt.1
Acts 11:1-30
Acts 11 introduces us to the model New Testament church. We begin a study of the Church of Antioch, a church the broke from cultural Christianity for the sake of the gospel. In Acts 11 we investigate the character of the Antioch leaders, their purposes in ministry and how God used this church to start the first true missions movement.
The Acts of The Apostles: The Business of Ministry
Acts 6:1-7
In this passage we find the early church dealing with perceived needs of their growing congregation. We learn from the apostles what it means to meet the needs of the flock while prioritizing what God prioritizes. Learn how the apostles dealt with their leadership void and the value of a biblical approach.
The Acts of The Apostles: And Great Fear Came Upon All
Acts 4:33-5:11
Here we see the church growing in numbers but also growing in strength. So often in churches today physical growth results in accommodations and compromises that eventually dilute the mission. What can we learn from these early believers to help us through times of transition? We also find two testimonies of giving: The Patron & The Impostors. What might we be holding back from God? Are we in danger of hypocrisy?
Truth In Love / Myles Cheadle
Ephesians 4:8-15
In this passage, we see that God has gifted the church with apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Here, Myles takes the time to discuss the purpose of these gifts, why they are given and how they are used.
