Podcasts about acts church

The early church described in the Book of Acts is often either placed on a pedestal as the ultimate blueprint for all churches or dismissed entirely as a product of its time. But is either approach actually helpful? In this episode 108, Tim and Drew take a deep dive into what the Acts Church really was—a Spirit-led movement full of passion, generosity, and community, but also marked by conflict, growth pains, and real human struggles. They unpack how modern churches often idolize Acts 2 while ignoring the rest of the book, and challenge listeners to rethink whether Acts is meant to be copied or simply understood and applied with wisdom.This conversation explores what the modern church can learn from the early believers—especially their devotion to prayer, radical hospitality, bold obedience to the Holy Spirit, and deep fellowship with one another. While methods and models may change, the values and spiritual practices of the early church still carry weight today. Whether your church is tempted to rely too heavily on strategy or is at risk of losing its spiritual fire, this episode calls for balance, clarity, and a return to the roots of authentic, Spirit-empowered community.Get the most comfortable shirts we've ever worn!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kingdomandwill.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code: EYESONJESUS for 15% off Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We know the Church is on the move, restoring things that have been lost in preparation for Jesus' return. BUT…we can't see where we are going if we don't know where we've been. We can't know what must be restored if we aren't aware of what was lost.  In this message, Pastor David Simmons takes us through the Book of Acts and the details of the early Church, what it looked like and how it functioned. He gives us four key characteristics of the Book of Acts Church—the blueprint of what must be restored and where the latter Church is headed.  Your role is key—are you ready to get involved in the Restoration Movement?  Thank you for tuning into Pathpoint's Sunday message.

Acts 22-24 4 Questions About My Story How do I see the plan of God behind my story? What promises of God have been important to my story? When have I experienced the protection of God over my story? Is there a prompting of God in my story today?

Acts 21-22 When a 4th quarter mentality leads you into the fire, when sacred courage walks you into the storm, your story becomes your greatest witness.

Acts 21 1. Sacred courage knows the assignment. 2. Sacred courage stays the course. 3. Sacred courage pays the price. 4. Sacred courage lights a fire in others.

Acts 20 A 4th Quarter Mentality

Acts 19 The Power of God's Word -The Word of God has Power in its Person -The Word of God has Power in its Presence -The Word of God has Power in its Proclamation

Trinity Sunday! New Sermon Series! Yes please!On this Trinity Sunday, we are starting a new sermon series on the Apostles Creed titled, “tethered to truth: Apostles Creed”. We will be taking a deep dive into everything Apostles Creed. To start off the series, Pastor Jeni begins by telling what the Apostles Creed is, why it was/is needed, and how we can still cherish/value it and learn from it even today. Join us for this intriguing new series as we learn more about this ancient creed of the post-Acts Church. Things to consider as you listen:We have more resilience to remain stable in the winds and waves of difference because we are tethered to something greater than our distinctives.Brief History: dates back to the 2nd century - used as a baptismal creed - current version dates back to 8th century & has remained essentially unchanged since.“I believe…” in such a way that all other life choices & convictions will be tethered to these truths even when doubt arises.What is inside of us comes out and what comes out ends up inside of us!“God the Father Almighty” is a subversive declaration proclaiming that our God has power & authority over all other powers and authorities - seen and unseen.“…Maker of heaven & earth…” God is over all because he created all.

In his message titled D.R.E.A.M., Pr Kenneth Chin lays out the God-given vision that Acts Church is called to steward and pursue over the next five years. Speaking to all Acts Global Church Plant Coordinators, Pr Kenneth unpacks the five pillars of this movement-defining acronym.D for Discipleship, the foundation of growing and multiplying strong believers; R for Revival, a call to spiritual awakening and vibrant relationship with God; E for Evangelism, reaching the lost with urgency and compassion; A for Action, particularly in social action and community transformation; and M for Missions, the heartbeat of going beyond borders to make Christ known. This D.R.E.A.M. is not just a slogan—it's a divine blueprint and rallying cry for the entire Acts Church movement to realign, refocus, and run with vision and purpose in the years ahead.
