    Sell It All?

    The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

    Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more

    Easter Makes A Difference

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh. Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    The church did not pray for the easing of persecution, but for greater courage and more miracles. They recognizes God’s sovereignty and pray for God’s will to be fulfilled.

    CONTEXT • Peter and John healed a crippled beggar in Chapter 3. It drawn the attention of the crowd. • Peter took the opportunity to preach Jesus and forgiveness of sin in Jesus’ Name. At least 5000 men were saved (4:4). • The priests and religious leaders were not happy that they were preaching ...read more

    Prayer works and God wants you to know that.

    April 26, 2009 Morning Worship Text: Acts 4:23-31 Subject: Prayer Title: Driven to Prayer Have you ever stopped and thought about what it is that drives people to prayer? You can answer that question for yourselves, but when I stop and look at it I see that there may be many things that push ...read more

    What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,762 views

    We like to be in control, some of us need to be in control but, when that control is taken away by sinful man or others, we need to look to the one who is always in full control.

    Acts 4:23-33 I suspect that most all of the conflicts and battles of life boil down to issues of control. Republicans want control of the congress and Democrats don’t want to give it up. Israelis want to control Palestinians and Palestinians resist. Sunnis and Shiites fight for control of Iraq. ...read more

    In Acts 4 we see a church alive and on fire. But it is also a church under attack. How did the first believers cope with opposition?

    Introduction Once upon a time, an atheist lived in a small town. The atheist wasn’t a bad man, he just didn’t believe. He wasn’t interested in church… and there was only one in the area. It was cold and dead. More of a social club for the deceased. One day the church building caught on fire. The ...read more

    The Church In Prayer. (PowerPoint slides to accompany this talk are available on request - email: gcurley@gcurley.info)

    Following Jesus requires action! We see that action in two ways: • The context is evangelism (sharing our faith with others); • Last week you probably noted that • Peter and John stood before the Sanhedrin (Jewish court); • Their crime verse 2 tells us was: ...read more

    The early church sold their lands to help the poor and needy amongst them. Were they setting the pattern for a communist commune? Were they socialists? Or was there something more basic going on here?

    Sermon for "Old Fashioned Sunday"

    The Church of Acts (Acts 4:32-35) - Considering Old Time Religion I wondered about some of the old church habits - I wondered about how God would call us today to act knowing what He has already done - Tonight, let’s examine the old church; let’s get honest about what we need to do - Let’s ...read more

    God will shake our lives in a good way, when we ask Him for courage and power to do His will.

    Life-Shaking Prayer Acts 4:23-31 Intro: Peter, John, and the other believers gathered together and prayed a prayer that shook the Church. I’ve never experienced a church-quake in response to my prayers. Why do you suppose God did this for the early church? Perhaps it was God’s way of saying, “I ...read more

    As our merciful God is working His goodness into our hearts and lives, He requires sincerity and integrity from us.

    Living a Life of Integrity Acts 5:1-11 Intro: This is almost an unbelievable story to most people today. Can you imagine something like this happening today?
