In the story of Peter's vision of eating unclean food, we see how the gospel of Christ saves undeserving men and changes the prejudice in our hearts.
The story of Paul's conversion, as amazing as it was, is no different from our own. We too were saved by grace alone, through an act of surrender, moved from darkness to light, received a new family, and now identify with Christ. If you have yet to experience such redemption, come and taste God's word this Sunday.
Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus was a dramatic display of God's grace. Let us recognize that God's salvation of each of us is a profound story. Come and hear the amazing story of how God saves sinners like you and me.
In our passage today, we see how Philip explained who Christ was to the Ethiopian eunuch much like Christ had explained His death and resurrection to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Come and let God's word speak to you this blessed Easter Sunday.
The story of Simon the magician in Acts 9 is puzzling. What can we glean from it? Come and hear Pastor Mull this Sunday. We're all in a battle and need to guard our own hearts. We should pray for others, both those who are in Christ, and especially those who don't know Him.
Our message picks up today right after Stephen's death, where Christians continue to be persecuted. But then we see something remarkable; this same persecution becomes the wind that blows the Gospel seed to new soil and produces a new harvest. Philip was one of those faithful seed bearers.
Stephen boldly proclaimed who Jesus was before the high priests. His defense resulted in his death by stoning, but it also resulted in an incredible victory for the gospel message. What a challenge for us all!
The story of Stephen in Acts 6 tells of a man used by God in an incredible way to share the truth about Jesus. He was empowered by God to perform great wonders and signs, to speak to his accusers with wisdom and grace, and to endure his trial to the very end. Come and hear this amazing story!
Acts 6:1-7 presented by Pastor Paul Sankey
In Acts 5, we see Peter and the apostles beaten for preaching the gospel. Their response? They rejoiced that they were counted as worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus. And so what is our calling as believers? That through the word of our testimonies, we too may suffer with joy, overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and do it all for the glory of God!
In this week's sermon, we see God using an angel to free the apostles from prison - the very prison the religious leaders had put them in for teaching about Jesus. And what do they do when freed? Immediately return to teaching the people in the temple. The religious leaders were more than a little perplexed!
In Acts 5, we see God's glory revealed to the early through miraculous healings. The people knew the poverty of their sin and came before the Lord seeking pure hands and a pure heart. Are we also broken over our sin? Are we willing to go humbly before Him and receive forgiveness and healing?
In our passage from Acts 5, we see a stark contrast between Barnabas, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and Ananias and Saphira, whose hearts were filled with hypocrisy and deceit. Their end result reminds us that we worship a holy God, and we must never minimize sin.
The early church was marked by unity, power, grace, and generosity. As Christians today, we are called to do the same. If we love one another, the world will know that we are Christ's disciples.
Pastor Brian continues to expound on Peter's sermon from Acts 4. Please join us!
In Peter's second sermon in Acts 3, he admonishes his audience to humble themselves, realize who Jesus really was, admit their guilt, repent of their sins, and realize the future hope that awaits them. And so we too need to hear those very same admonishments today.
Peter's sermon in Acts 3 shows how we can be refreshed through repentance and renewing of our minds. Are you going through a dry season? Are you thirsty? Come and hear how God forgives and refreshes us.
The story of Esther shows God working behind the scenes for His glory and the good of His people. The Christmas story has a parallel theme with God taking on flesh to dwell among us, and then giving His life as a ransom for all who believe in Him so that we can have eternal life. Come, hear the message of the Messiah, and worship the true King with us this Sunday.
In Acts 3, we see Peter and John being used by God to heal a man lame from birth. The story offers a testimony of God's power and grace, and how He uses obedient vessels to extend love to hurting people.
In Acts 2 we see that a healthy church meets together regularly, displays unity and generosity, shares the gospel with others, and has a sense of awe at God's working in their lives. We pray that First Baptist Church of Bosque Farms would be just such a church.
A healthy church is devoted to prayer. Come and hear how we are to pray, what should be our goal in praying, and what results we can expect from a praying church.
The third vital sign of a healthy church is remembering the importance of breaking bread together. Communion brings us together around the body of Christ and His substitutionary sacrifice on the cross. It also reminds us that we are in this struggle together, and as a body of believers, encourages us to fight for one another's faith in Jesus.
One feature of a healthy church is fellowship with one another. But what does that exactly mean? Come and hear as Pastor Mull continues the series on Vitals of a Healthy Church from Acts chapter two.
In Acts Chapter 2, we see an example of a healthy church. We see a people devoted to God's word, not only knowing it but also doing it. Come and join with us as we meet together around the Word this Sunday at First Baptist Church of Bosque Farms.
Peter preached a message of repentance to the crowd at Pentecost. The people were convicted of their sin, felt sincere regret for what they had done, and as a result 3,000 were saved. Come and hear this incredible story.
Come and hear the sermon that Peter preached to the crowd at Pentecost. There he explained the coming of the Holy Spirit, who Jesus is and how he is alive, and the salvation that we can have through faith in him.
What does it mean to filled with the Holy Spirit? Come and listen as Pastor Mull expounds Acts 2:1-4. See how Christians are empowered to live godly lives by submitting to the presence, power, and purpose of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 2, we find the disciples waiting for God's promise of the Holy Spirit. At this time, they learned to trust God through the pain of waiting. There is always purpose in the pain of our lives. We too must go through times of testing and often by waiting. But know that God's timing is always perfect.
Would you like to know how to make godly decisions? In this passage from Acts, we see the disciples illustrate godly decision making when they select Matthias to replace Judas. Our decisions too should be guided by obeying God's revealed will, seeking godly advice from fellow believers, praying, following scripture, and using sanctified common sense.
In this introduction to the book of Acts, we see that Christians have the power of the Holy Spirit living inside us, just as Christ's disciples did. And just as God sent His disciples out to proclaim His salvation, we too are to be used in a powerful way to testify of God's saving love.
Paul closes out his amazing letter to the church in Ephesus by admonishing us to love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. How do we get such love for Christ? Come and hear how God wants us to dig deep roots into His plan, power and perfect love for us.
Solomon closes his temple dedication prayer with a blessing on the people. He does this by remembering what God has done for His people and by so doing, Solomon blesses God. In a similar way, we too can pray a prayer of blessing by remembering how God keeps His promises to us, and for His presence and power in our lives.
Solomon's prayer of dedication of the temple is a model prayer. As the Church, we want to come before the Lord in heart-felt repentance, thanking Him for his faithfulness and seeking His forgiveness and justice in our lives.
Jehoshaphat was in a desperate situation. He prayed to God for deliverance, and God answered his prayer in a mighty way. Jehoshaphat's prayer provides a model for us to pray when we too find ourselves in despair. Come and hear how God is faithful and is able to provide deliverance for His people.
The Apostle Paul prayed an amazing prayer for his people in the first chapter of Colossians. Come and learn what this prayer means and how to pray it for yourself and others, so that we too can grow in God's grace, be filled with His knowledge, and walk in a manner worthy of our Lord.
What does God's word say about heaven? Is it a real place? Come and hear a message from the Bible that describes what heaven is like, and also, the reality of hell. Most importantly, come and hear how to trust Christ and know that your eternal destiny is with God in heaven.
We will continue to look at the power of prayer this Sunday. Please join us for a special prayer service that will involve other churches in the area.
In today's sermon, we will see examples of the power of prayer. Although there are no limitations on the scope of our prayers, we are called to pray in the Spirit and according to the will of God. But how do we know the will of God? It is found in the word of God.
