     | 4,158 views

    The early church had a tremendous vision that changed the world. How do we make vision happen, so that we’re not just dreaming? The answer lies in unlocking the secrets of the the first church of Jerusalem in Acts 2.

    Acts 2:42-47 “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling ...read more

    Even amidst life’s harships, confusion, and pain, we can discover a new and clearer vision of Christ Jesus as the Messiah.

    THE PERSON WHO HAS NEVER TAKEN THE RISK OF HAVING TO TASTE WHAT IS BITTER HAS NEVER REALLY KNOWN THAT WHICH TASTES SWEET.

    Who would have ever thought that going to church would be dangerous? But it has become exactly that in some places.

    Today the church, the Christian, has changed God’s job description and prefers hiding within the four walls of the church, sitting in a pew, limiting God’s light. Believes for the most part have small visions centered on self-motivation

    Where’s The Army? 2 Tim 2:3-5 Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. And as Christ’s soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in the affairs of this life, for then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in his army.

    Cubs’ fans blame curses and a kid but not their own team for their failures. We will blame anyone and anything rather than take repsonsibility for ourselves and our moral failures, teen pregnancy, violence, evil during Halloween. God says no more!

    In this sermon we will see if we ever get more than we ask for from God, and how we should react.

    MORE THAN YOU ASK FOR Mark 7:31-37 INTRO: Once at a fast-food restaurant, I took my burger back up to the counter, pointed to the picture on the overhead menu, and asked, Can I have one that looks like that?” The one I had was smushed, smudged, and generally unappealing.
