ACTS—Building Toward the Future | All Ready… but Not Yet! | January 5, 2020

 

We Know A Lot
Carefully investigated and recorded
Why?
     “So you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.”
     Certainty is important!
It had to be convincing to the Apostles
But they were impatient
Are we?

 

But Our Focus Might Be Wrong
They wanted the Kingdom!
They just didn’t know what it really was.
What are we focusing on?
Focus, focus, focus!
It’s about being witnesses… with power!

 

Why Do You Stand Here?
The angels are still with us!
Let’s take a look at what we need to do
The Scriptures had to be fulfilled
Are we getting ready for when He calls?

Letters From Prison – to anxious friends | September 8, 2019

 

They Went Way Back
Philippi was founded by Philip II…
                         father of Alexander the Great
Augustus Caesar defeated Brutus and Cassius there after they assassinated Julius Caesar
It was a Roman Colony for retired military
Philippi was Paul’s first European church

 

It Started with a Vision | Acts 16
The Man of Macedonia
Lead to faithful women
Out of poverty… generosity!

 

But We’re a Little Worried Now…
We heard you were in prison
We sent you a gift with Epaphroditus
Please send us Timothy

 

Paul Was Worried, Too
How could he encourage them?
They were going to be disappointed
They were losing hope
They were deeply divided
Their focus was on their circumstances
How could he encourage them, while also confronting them in love?
They needed to be like Jesus

Philippians 1:1-11
