    A Word With You
    Surfing the Wave That Could Sink You - #10034

    A Word With You

    You know, when I was growing up, it was a pretty long trip to get to the ocean. I grew up in Illinois, so we didn't have a lot of ocean experience. Needless to say, when I lived along the East Coast for over 20 years, I became fascinated with the ocean. I still love to watch it, I love to walk along the beach, I love to romp in the waves a little, but I haven't gotten used to those big breakers rolling in. Hey, listen, I'm a lake boy, okay; a pool kid. But those big old waves, they make me feel as if they could pick me up and carry me all the way to England, which I would rather fly to anyway than go by way of the Atlantic Ocean. But I have good friends who really know what to do with those giant waves. They've taught me that what you do is you surf on it if you know how, and they're good at it. They wait for that big old curl to come roaring down on them, they leap on their surfboard and they ride that wave. Now, I see a mega wave as a threat. My friends? They see it as a vehicle. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Surfing the Wave That Could Sink You." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 8, and it talks about the day that a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. It really sounds like a large wave coming in against God's people. But listen to what they did with it. "Those who had been scattered," chapter 8, verse 4 says, "preached the Word wherever they went." Now, here is this violent enemy attack on the infant church, and it forces the believers out of their little nest in Jerusalem. Probably losing their home, and their family connections, and possibly their job. What did they do? Did they sink? No, they surfed on that big wave! They started spreading the Gospel in all the places they were forced to go. Now, that's just what God had predicted in Acts 1:8, when He said, "You'll be My witnesses in Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria, and in the uttermost parts of the earth." But they weren't leaving Jerusalem until this persecution hit. See, the attacks of the enemy often end up facilitating the plans of God (don't you love it?), because of how believers handle the heavy waves of crisis that come crashing toward them. You could do that. It's called capturing your crisis for Christ. This type of believer surfs on a wave of trouble instead of sinking under it. Let's fast-forward 2,000 years from the book of Acts to your life right now. You've got pressure. What's the wave that's coming in at you right now? You've got stress, you've got some anxiety. Can you see it? There's a crisis that's threatening you, or maybe a disappointment, or a disease, a disaster. Capture your crisis for Christ. Do what these early Christians did. They used it as a platform to proclaim Jesus. They said, "Well, if the crisis has forced me into a place I never wanted to be, I'm going to use this as a place to proclaim Christ." Basically, they believed that their situation was their assignment wherever God put them. See, the crises of life put us in positions where a lot of folks are watching what we do; where we meet new people, where we can find a platform for saying, "Jesus is enough, even in this; especially in this situation." Now, the enemy would love to use this wave that you see coming at you to sink you, but don't go down under it. Remember, your situation is your assignment from God. Do what the great surfers do! Ride on top of this wave; surf on it. Capture it for Christ.

    “But I do not count my life of any value, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” The Apostle Paul said those words to the Ephesian elders in the book of Acts, chapter twenty. It was a farewell address, as many of those present would never see him again. Today, Ron takes us to some of Paul's final words as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”

    On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the book of Acts, or The Acts of the Apostles, shows us the life and ministry of the apostles of Jesus Christ from the gospels, including one who is “born out of due time”, the apostle Paul. But before he was an apostle of the Lord, Saul was a fearsome type of Antichrist, and we will look at that as well. Think you're called to the ministry? You better think again, the book of Acts shows you what the ministry is, and you may not like it much. Join us as we study the entire book of the Acts of the Apostles, verse by verse and chapter by chapter.TONIGHT'S STUDY: In Acts 20, we see some foundational information about the Church and the Church Age from the apostle Paul that is some of the most revealing found anywhere in the New Testament. We see why the Church met on a Sunday, how an early Church service was run, Paul's amazing testimony about this ministry the Lord had given him, closing with a stunning prophecy about the future of the nascent Church. In my opinion, Acts 20 is perhaps the most-powerful chapter in the book.

Jesus entrusted this movement to normal, everyday people—People who allowed the resurrection to lay claim on their lives.

    This week, we continued in the book of Acts and looked at two miracles performed through Peter: the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha. These events echo the ministry of Jesus and demonstrate that the Kingdom of God is not only coming but is already here. We explored how miracles are not interruptions of the natural world but glimpses of how God originally intended creation to be—signs of compassion, authority, and ultimate renewal. While not all are given the same miraculous gifts, every follower of Jesus is invited to live as a witness to the miracle of new creation. In Christ, even our transformed lives become evidence that He is alive and His Spirit is still at work.Support the show

    Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast, where we open God's Word together and grow as disciples of Jesus. This weekend, we're continuing our journey through the Book of Acts in Acts 22:30–23:30—a passage full of tension, trials, and God's sovereign care. The Apostle Paul finds himself in yet another unjust situation, and yet what we see is deeply encouraging. In this message, we'll explore three powerful truths: We're called to act uprightly, even when life feels downright unfair. The Lord never leaves His people—He encourages those He calls, just as Jesus promised in Matthew 28. And in the middle of everyday moments, God's providence is always at work. Let's listen in, and be reminded that no matter what we face, our God is near, in control, and always faithful. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

    In this first week of the “Being the Church” series, Andy Saperstein considers what it means to bear witness to our faith in the world among friends and family, neighbors, strangers and enemies alike. In the early verses of Acts, Jesus declares that once the Spirit has fallen on the church, we will be his witnesses both near and far, from our own homes to the ends of the earth, as we fulfill our identity and calling as the people of God. To have a genuine encounter with Jesus and to be filled with the Holy Spirit qualifies us to be his witnesses; listen to this week's talk to consider what that might look like in your own life.- Series Description -Among the most compelling stories in the Bible is contained in the Book of Acts, written by the humble and gentle physician, Luke. In Acts, Luke tells the story of the birth and expansion of the church in the early decades following the Lord's death, resurrection, and ascension. He tells the story of the coming and work of the Holy Spirit, the ministry of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and of other early saints. He tells the story of early opposition to the faith, of the first martyrs, and of the courage of early Christians in the face of resistance and even death. At the beginning of the book, the Christian community is limited to Jewish believers mostly in and around Jerusalem; by the end of the book, the church is growing and expanding among Jewish and Gentile communities throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond. Come out for this 8-week series, “Being the Church,” bring a friend, and join us in living out in our own day and time what it is to be the church together.

Most other vices tend to produce some kind of pleasure, however momentary. But envy is nothing but unpleasant, through and through. It is the constant thief of joy. - Gavin Ortlund We can glimpse it in the book of Acts: the method of the kingdom will match the message of the kingdom. The kingdom…goes out into the world vulnerable, suffering, praising, praying, misunderstood, misjudged, vindicated, celebrating: always – as Paul puts it in one of his letters – bearing in the body the dying of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be displayed. - NT Wright Ex 34:4-7 “When God describes himself, He doesn't start with how powerful He is or how He knows everything there is to know or how He's been around since before time and space and there's no one else like Him in the universe. That's all true, but apparently, to God, it's not the most important thing. When God describes himself, He starts with His name. Then He talks about what we call character. He's compassionate and gracious; he's slow to anger; he's abounding in love and faithfulness” - John Mark Comer

Our core verse for today sets the stage: “But the believers who had been scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.” (Acts 8:4, NLT) This verse speaks of a scattering—a time of persecution that pushed believers out of Jerusalem—but it also speaks of an unstoppable proclamation. They weren't just surviving; they were preaching. But what exactly were they preaching? What was the “Good News about Jesus” from their ancient Israelite and early Christian perspective? In our modern minds, the term “Gospel” often immediately brings to mind concepts such as “atonement,” “forgiveness of sins,” or “going to heaven.” While these are essential truths that flow from the Gospel,/they don't fully capture the foundational message as the early believers understood and proclaimed it. For them, the Gospel was less about an individual's destination after death and more about a divine kingdom that had decisively arrived on earth, bringing about a radical change in authority and allegiance, fulfilling centuries of Old Testament prophecies.

    Join us for today's PowerPoint as Pastor Jack Graham continues the study in the book of Acts. It's easy to walk away from the Church when you are not plugged in, he says. We must be “all in.” Pastor Graham challenges us to be like the early believers who transformed the culture because they were fully engaged and therefore empowered to live the Christian life.

    In our new series, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, we are diving into the book of acts. This book is a recorded history of the church's birth and what Jesus continued to do after His resurrection, this time through His people. Jesus entrusted this movement to normal, everyday people—People who allowed the resurrection to lay claim on their lives. Not perfect people, not polished or platformed people, just forgiven sons and daughters who said "yes." For this week's message, Care Pastor Rory Lewellyn continues by leading us through Acts 6:1-7:8, the story of Stephen's martyrdom. We'd love to connect with you!
