    Looking in the first chapter of Acts, we see how we are to live in the "in between times", centered on God and full of purpose.

    The term, "waiting on God" is one of those terms that we often have difficulty defining. This message looks at what the disciples did while waiting for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WAIT ON GOD Acts 1:12-26 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and ...read more

    In shifting to a blitzkrieg examination of the role of the church in the Book of Acts, I reworked my sermon on Acts 1. This has some repetition with the other one posted a couple of years ago, but has some new material, too.

    Do any of you know what is the last word in the Book of Acts? It is ακωλυτως, pronounced “ah-koh-LOO-tohs” by some and “ah-koh-LEE-tohs” by others, and means “not-hindered,” “not prevented,” “not ...read more

     | 6,864 views

    Think about how comical this must appear from the Lord’s perspective. The apostles (led by Peter) decide the 12th position is empty and therefore it needs to be filled (appropriately reasoned). The only problem is - it is they who chose the two men; cast

    Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.

    The absence of Jesus and the span of the Holy Spirit’s coming is for the disciples… a test of character.

    Acts 1: 13 - 26 The Waiting of the Holy Spirit After the Ascension of Jesus, the angels told them that the same Jesus will come again in like manner. The absence of Jesus and the span of the Holy Spirit’s coming is for the disciples… a test of character. The span is 10 ...read more

    Disappointments: God’s Blessings In Disguise

    Peter decided to replace Judas as apostle. Matthias "won" & Joseph "lost" when the lots were cast. This must have been an great disappointment to Joseph. This sermon examines if Peter did the right thing, but focuses on how to handle disappointment.

    Disappointments: God’s Blessings in Disguise Chuck Sligh TEXT: Just after Jesus ascended into heaven in Acts 1:9-11, we read, beginning in verses 14-26 – “These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15 And in ...read more
