September 27 - "The Power of the Holy Spirit" | Acts 1 and 2 by Trinity Western Springs
The Mission | Acts 1:1-14 | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church
In Acts 1, Luke gives us a name-by-name list of the remaining 11 Apostles. They were very different men, and each became different from who he once was because Jesus changed him. Their stories invite us to ask: What might Jesus do through you if you resolved to say yes to him?In this message, you'll explore:1. What do the Apostles' different stories show us about the people Jesus calls?2. How did Jesus respond to Peter after his worst failure?3. What changed in John, Matthew, and Simon as they followed Jesus?4. What can we learn from an Apostle whose words and actions were barely recorded?5. What next step of obedience might Jesus be calling you to take?Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

September 20 - "The Ascension" | Acts 1 by Trinity Western Springs
In Acts 1:1–11, Jesus gives His disciples an impossible mission—but He doesn't leave them to accomplish it on their own. Before ascending to heaven, Jesus redirects their questions, promises the power of the Holy Spirit, and sends them to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. This sermon explores what it means to trust God when we don't have all the answers, depend on the Spirit for what we need, and faithfully do the next thing Jesus has called us to do.5 Things You'll Learn1. Why you don't need to know everything God is doing in order to obey Him.2. How Jesus redirects the disciples from their plans and timelines to His worldwide mission.3. What it means to be “baptized with the Holy Spirit” in Acts 1.4. Why the Holy Spirit gives Christians power to bear witness to Jesus.5. How Jesus' ascension and promised return should shape the way Christians live and serve right now.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving
Luke reports that Jesus, in the days following his resurrection but before his ascension, "presented himself alive... by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God" (ESV). Grammatically and contextually, it turns out, the "proofs" do not merely refer to the physical evidence for the resurrection (Luke 24:36-43) but also to the way that Jesus's death and resurrection fulfill the Scriptures (Luke 24:44-47). Dr. J. D. Atkins is Associate Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, and Chair of the Department of Biblical and Exegetical Studies at Tyndale Theological Seminary (Netherlands). Among other things, he has authored The Doubt of the Apostles and the Resurrection Faith of the Early Church. His co-authored book, 40 Questions about the Gospels, is forthcoming with Kregel. This episode is a continuation of Dr. Atkins' two earlier episodes also entitled "Seeing is Not Believing."

September 13 - "What's the Story?" | Luke 1 & Acts 1 by Trinity Western Springs
Join us as we discuss some bonus content from the opening sermon on the book of Acts, the importance of studying the Old Testament scriptures along with the New Testament, and how we should think about and respond Biblically to immigration dynamics in our country.
This sermon provides an introductory study of Acts chapter one, emphasizing the historical value and supernatural evidence supporting Jesus' resurrection. The speaker details the 'infallible proofs' of Christ's physical return from the dead and distinguishes between water baptism and the subsequent baptism with the Holy Spirit. Attention is given to the ascension event and the angels' promise of Jesus' future return, while clarifying that the timing of this event remains solely under God's authority. The narrative concludes by examining the early church's gathering and the selection of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot among the apostles.

Many of us face hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions every day. But many are left wondering what God's will for their life is. In the remainder of Acts 1, we see the apostles engage with this question through prayer and the clarity of God's Word as they decide who the next apostle will be. It's here that we see that God tells us his will, and he guides us in doing his will.
In Acts 1:8, Jesus promises His disciples that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Pastor Derek looks at the Spirit's power in our lives and the call to be witnesses for Jesus wherever we go.
