Parkside Church

In Acts 6, the Church is growing and there are more needs to meet, more people to serve, and more resources to administer than the Apostles can handle. Their solution? They need more people like Stephen, full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, to humbly serve tables.

The opening scene in Acts shows the resurrected Jesus appearing to his disciples. They are looking for clarity, but instead Jesus offers them a calling.

As the sermon on the mount starts to wrap up, Jesus makes a clear call to "judge not" and then gives us an example the exact behavior he is critiquing. In this sermon, we make some obersvations about judgements and just how dangerous they can become in the life of the believer.

Underneath all of the deep laments, uncomfortable calls for vengeance and justice, prayers of surrender, and songs of worship is a simple plea for God's presence. But why should we long for God's presence like the psalmists?

Jesus walks confidently towards the cross as Peter quietly leaves the courtyard.
