"God's Power Ignited Church" |
|
|
| Jesus being in us is better than Jesus being with us. This Bible study of Acts 2:1-13 examines the coming of the Holy Spirit that revealed God in the new, powerful way that radically transformed Jesus' disciples.

"Handling the Lulls in Life" |
|
|
| Waiting on God is a active, not passive activity. Most of us don't like waiting! Whether its the speed of our internet browser, the service we get in a restaurant or the unreasonable time it takes a traffic light to turn green, we don't like to wait. But God uses the lulls in our life to do His good work in us so that He may work through us in the advances in life. This study looks at how the disciples returned to Jerusalem following the Ascension of Jesus into heaven and actively waited, preparing for the coming of the Holy Spirit. |

"Sent to Finish the Task" |
|
|
| In His parting words before returning to heaven and the glory He had before with God the Father, Jesus sent His disciples out to finish the task of evangelizing the world. They had been a rag tag bunch for three years who most often missed the point of Christ's teaching about the Kingdom of God. Yet, in Acts these Apostles became men became leaders in a movement that turned the world upside down as the gospel spread across the Roman Empire. The task remains the same for every generation of followers of Jesus. In these study, we'll see that we too are sent, empowered and accountable to testify to the world that Jesus Christ changes lives. |

"Preparation For The Task" |
|
|
| The task of the church - in every generation - has already been given in the Great Commission of Jesus. In the 40 days following His resurrection, Jesus prepared the disciples for the task in His teaching. Just before ascending into heaven, he sent them home for more preparation - to pray and wait for the promised coming of the Holy Spirit. In this introductory message to a series study of the book of Acts, Pastor David explains how completing our task today, will only follow our preparation for the task. |

"Urgency of the Task" |
|
|
| Urgency is a powerful force in moving people to action. In the everyday pace of life our minds are thinking is often focused on any number of things that are of little personal or eternal. But when urgency sets in, decisiveness can follow with intensity of focus on the task at hand. In this study of the Great Commission, Pastor David explains why as followers of Jesus we need to personally embrace the urgency of our mission and live diligently completing our task. |
