For Missions Sunday, we're going to begin to dive into the topic of “What is the Local Church's Role in Missions?” Is it to meet as many physical needs as we can? Share the Gospel? Outreach? Send money to people who can do these things? This is a big question that we're not going to get fully answered in one sermon. But at least we can start to think through the question as a church and what the Bible has to say about it. Recently, our Local and Go Global Mission Teams have started to try and rediscover what missions is, because it's hard for us to discern what our role in Missions is if we don't have a clear understanding of what Missions is.

The astonishing (and sometimes hard to believe) message of the Gospel is that it's free. We may not offer money for it, but in what ways do we act like we need to earn God's favor? In what ways do we seek to put God in our debt by our good works? In what ways do we think God owes us because of something we've done? We are reminded in today's passage, that the gospel is not for purchase. Instead, it is a free gift through Jesus' costly purchase of us. Act 8:4-25 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
Because Jesus reigns and rules from heaven, we can be gripped by peace and assured that his purposes will prevail. Acts 7:54-8:3 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
God's presence cannot be confined to our self-imposed limitations, and to do so is to enter into false worship rather than true worship. Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
We continue in our Acts series with the first of three weeks studying the life and death of Stephen. Today we'll see that through his opposition and trial, Stephen remains faithful and calm resting in the presence of Jesus. Acts 6:8-15 Pastor Matthew McCleary, Associate Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
We're back to Acts series with Acts 6:1-7. Here we'll see an internal threat that emerges in the church and the gracious way the Holy Spirit protects the church and strengthens her witness in the world. Acts 6:1-7 Pastor Matthew McCleary, Associate Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
The good news of Jesus' death and resurrection enables you to stand firm in present and to be assured of the future. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
Jesus reveals that he is the long-expected King, and the crowds reveal they have yet to grasp the nature of his kingship. Matthew 21:1-11 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
God's redemptive plan cannot be stopped, therefore, to fight against His witnesses is to fight against Him. Acts 5:12-42 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
As the early church grew in numbers and unity, Satan sought to destroy it with lying, deception, and a lack of reverence for God. Acts 4:32-5:11 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
If you had just been arrested and imprisoned for speaking about Jesus, and then subsequently threatened not to speak any more about Jesus, what would your prayer be? This is the scene in Acts 4:23-31, but the early church prays for none of these things. In fact, out of the seven verses that their prayer spans, only two of those verses are even a petition to God. The first five verses have nothing to do with asking God for anything. When they finally get to their petitions, they're not what we'd expect. The question this passage answers and what this podcast will answer is this: As the winds of fear and anxiety swirl and seek to blow over the early church, how is it that they are enabled to stand so boldly? Acts 4:23-31 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
The Word of God continues to spread through the bold witness of the apostles, despite persecution. Acts 4:1-22 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
This week, in Acts 3, we see an example of the “signs and wonders” being done by the early church. This story shows us what it means to be Christ's witnesses in a world filled with suffering. Acts 3:1-26 Pastor Matthew McCleary, Associate Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
The Holy Spirit supernaturally forms a community of believers around the person of Jesus, thereby transforming them into a compelling witness. Acts 2:42-47 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
The source of the Holy Spirit's outpouring is the rejected, risen, and reigning Christ. Acts 2:22-41 Pastor Dave Pack, Senior Pastor Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org
