Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Ten and Verse Thirty Six

In this sermon, Pastor Jake unpacks Revelation 14:6–13 as a discipleship manual for life in a culture drunk on self-worship. Revelation, from the Greek apokalypsis—“unveiling” (Revelation 1:1)—is shown not merely as an end-times roadmap, but as God's revelation of heavenly reality breaking into everyday life.Walking through Revelation 13–14, this message contrasts the deceptive “unholy trinity” of dragon, sea beast, and land beast (Revelation 12–13) with the “eternal gospel” proclaimed by an angel in mid-heaven (Revelation 14:6–7; Matthew 24:14). You'll see how modern idols of autonomy, comfort, and success mirror the seductions of Babylon—a symbol for every culture that builds its own kingdom in defiance of God (Revelation 14:8; 17–18; Genesis 11:1–9; Jeremiah 51:6–8).Key themes include:The Eternal Gospel & Coming JudgmentThe angel's global call: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come” (Revelation 14:7; Acts 17:30–31; Hebrews 9:27).Judgment spoken as certain and imminent, underscoring God's mercy in warning (2 Peter 3:9; John 3:16–18).Babylon's Wine & the Dragon's Wrath“The maddening wine of her adulteries” (Revelation 14:8; 17:2) as a picture of seductive passion (thumos) that is actually wrath in disguise (Revelation 12:12).How cultural norms around money, sex, power, and achievement quietly reshape our worship (Romans 1:21–25; 1 John 2:15–17).Allegiance, Worship, and Everyday LifeBabylon as a worship category, not an income bracket (Matthew 6:19–24; Luke 4:5–8).Redeemed success: the same “pearls and gold” that corrupt Babylon adorn the New Jerusalem when used for God's glory (Revelation 18; 21:18–21).Bold Witness in “Midair”The angel's visible, audible witness (Revelation 14:6) as a picture of the church as “a city on a hill” (Matthew 5:14–16; Philippians 2:14–16).Practical boldness: sharing your story, praying for others, and living publicly for Christ (Acts 1:8; Acts 4:29–31).Patient Endurance & Spirit-Empowered Faithfulness“This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God” (Revelation 14:12; Revelation 1:9; 13:10).The blessing over those who “die in the Lord” and finish their race well (Revelation 14:13; 2 Timothy 4:7–8; Matthew 24:13).How simple, ongoing obedience opens our ears to the Spirit's voice (John 14:15–17; Galatians 5:16–25).The message closes with a clear invitation to transfer your allegiance from the doomed city of Babylon to the eternal kingdom of the Lamb (Revelation 17–19; 21–22), trusting the One who loved you and gave Himself for you (Romans 5:8; Galatians 2:20).

Can God Use Someone With My Past? — Introducing the Book of EphesiansHave you ever felt like what you've done — or who you've been — puts you beyond the reach of God's purpose? This opening episode of our Ephesians series begins not with a doctrine, but with a life: Saul of Tarsus, the most dangerous enemy the early church ever faced, and the God who stopped him cold on the road to Damascus.In this episode, Pastor Roderick Webster covers:The education, zeal, and anti-Christian mission of Saul of TarsusThe Damascus road encounter that brought him face-to-face with the risen Christ (Acts 9 | KJV)Paul's desert season in Arabia and his ministry launch in AntiochHow Paul planted and pastored the church at Ephesus — and his tearful farewell to its elders (Acts 20 | KJV)A first look at Ephesians 1:1–5 (KJV) and the spiritual blessings every believer possesses in Christ

With the eyes of faith we see Jesus Christ keeping his promise, his people, and his plans even when the times are confusing and the opposition is real. We must not place our hopes on good circumstances, nor put our confidence in the acceptance of men. We trust in the keeping power and grace of Christ and press on by faith. He is trustworthy and good. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

The Spirit of Christ's word ministry is how we can continue to live boldly for Christ amid adversity.

New Life Haverhill

New Life Haverhill

January 25, 2026Today's Reading: Matthew 19:27-30Daily Lectionary: Zechariah 1:1-21; Romans 14:1-23“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Matthew 19:30)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Has anyone ever made such a complete 180-degree turn in life as St. Paul? Writing to Pastor Timothy, St. Paul confesses, “formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent” of the Christian faith (1 Timothy 1:13). He lists “persecutor of the church” as one of his bonafide to prove his zeal in the flesh (Philippians 3:6). He presided over the murder of the first martyr, St. Stephen (Acts 7:58). It took a miraculous appearance from the risen Lord Jesus Christ in His glory to convert Saul, to pick him up from the Damascus road, and turn him from the way of death to the way of life. Blinded by the light, Saul fasted and prayed until God sent him a minister to baptize him, absolve him, and feed him. No one converts themselves, after all. St. Saul didn't opt for a quiet life of faith. Following his conversion, the book of Acts says, “Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ” (Acts 9:22).St. Saul (later known as St. Paul) was the first to preach Jesus in many places during his several missionary journeys. But he also bears another peculiar distinction that explains his new zeal for preaching—he was the last eyewitness of the resurrection. After rattling off some other witnesses, he tells the Church at Corinth, “Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me” (1 Corinthians 15:8). That's the way things run in the kingdom of God. “Many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Although St. Matthew wrote these words of Jesus, St. Paul personified them. “For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:9-10a).Your conversion may not have been as noteworthy as St. Paul's; in fact, it may have just been a splash of water on your forehead with a few dozen people looking on. But God's grace is never in vain, and by His grace you are what you are: a child of God and a fellow saint with St. Paul.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, You turned the heart of him who persecuted the Church and by his preaching caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world. Grant us ever to rejoice in the saving light of Your Gospel and, following the example of the apostle Paul, to spread it to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.Author: Rev.

What is the church really? Pastor Heath Lambert explains that the church isn't a building or a place - it's the blood-bought people of Jesus, both local and global, identified with Christ and accomplishing His purposes in the world.

The Widening Witness of Christ (Acts 8:4-8; 26-40) | 011126 by One Ancient Hope Presbyterian Church

Class 4 from this series was used in GCT Episode 381.

We see that our whole salvation and all its parts are found in Christ [Acts 4:12]. We should therefore take care not to derive it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is “of him” [1 Cor 1:30]. If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, in his anointing. If we seek strength, in his power; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, in his birth. If we seek redemption, it lies in his suffering and death; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross [Gal 3:13]; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his death; if killing of sin, in his tomb; if newness of life and immortality, in his resurrection; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other. (John Calvin, Institutes, 2.16.19)

Stephen was a man who glorified Christ in life and death. His martyrdom gives testimony to the power of Christ to change people and to set them on a path of faithfulness to the end. Today, as we consider the death of Stephen, let us consecrate our lives to Christ that he may be glorified in all things. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world.

Paul Arrested and Bound for the Cause of Christ | Acts 21:17-40 | 5 November 2025 - Wednesday Evening | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor

Acts 6:8-7:60

While awaiting a decision on his case, Paul was presented an opportunity when the governor, Felix, "sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ." (Acts 24:24) Luke records that Paul "reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come" (v. 25).

The preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is met with both unbelief and belief. Unbelief in Jesus is more than indifference, it is opposition to him. Genuine belief in Jesus leads to faithfulness to him. Acts 4 exposes unbelief and calls for repentance. It also shows the kind of thinking and praying that keeps us boldly believing and proclaiming him. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

The blood of Jesus purchased your forgiveness of sins→ So confess freely and live in grace.The blood of Jesus reconciles you to God the Father→ So live out of a secured identity, not performance.The blood of Jesus clears your conscience (Hebrews 9:14)→ So serve God from purity, not guilt or fear.The blood of Jesus proves the love of God for you→ So put off fear and rest in His love.The blood of Jesus ransomed you from the works of Satan→ So turn from sin and walk in good works.The blood of Jesus acquired you for His glory (Titus 2:14)→ So live by faith in the Son of God.The blood of Jesus obtained the church→ So go into the world—He has already purchased His people.The blood of Jesus gave you an identity in the family of God→ So give yourself to the family of faith.The blood of Jesus enables you to forgive others→ So pursue peace and unity in the body.The blood of Jesus empowers you to bear others' burdens→ So carry one another's loads through the strength of His sacrifice.

Jonathan Latham

The Holy Spirit is more than a presence—He is an active helper, teacher, and guide in the life of every believer. In this episode, the preacher explores five powerful ways the Spirit transforms our walk with God. He teaches us, giving wisdom and understanding beyond our own ability (John 14:26; Mark 13:11). He reminds us of God's Word, bringing truth back to our hearts at just the right moment (John 14:26). He guides us, leading us along the right path and showing us where to go (Isaiah 30:20–21; Acts 16:6,9). He provides, meeting our needs and empowering us for God's work. And He convicts, aligning our hearts with truth and drawing us closer to Christ (Acts 2:3). This episode will encourage, equip, and inspire you to recognize and respond to the Spirit's leading in everyday life, deepening your faith and strengthening your journey with God.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Three and Verse Twenty

Morse was the son of a Protestant minister and a struggling painter of landscapes. In the 1820s, he made a meager living as a limner—“an itinerant painter” of colonial America. But his was a life God led in another direction. Morse also had an interest in science. He learned about electromagnets, conceiving an idea that would change the world. In 1832, Samuel F. B. Morse conceived the idea of an electric telegraph and later went on to make the first working telegraph. Probably the most dramatic biblical account of “career change” was that of Saul, who was “breathing out murderous threats” against believers in Christ (Acts 9:1). Jesus appeared to him in a great light (v. 3) saying that Saul was persecuting Him. Essentially, Saul was told to stop because he was under new orders now (v. 6). Saul did a U-turn in his life and assumed a new identity in Christ as the apostle who would eventually spread the gospel wherever he went. Sometimes what we think is our future really isn’t. God leads us in another direction. Perhaps He needs to call us out of our sin. Or maybe it’s a change of ministry or vocation. When God redirects our lives, we do well to stop what we’re doing and follow our new orders. And as our new path opens before us, we might just echo the joy of the first dot-and-dash message of Morse’s telegraph: “What hath God wrought!”

Big Idea: To live sent with our feet, we must first focus our eyes on Christ 1. Creation is focused on Christ (Col 1:15-16) 2. The Father's love is focused on Christ (Mk 1:9-11, Jn 3:35, 10:17, 17:22-26) 3. The Spirit's ministry is focused on Christ (Jn 14:26, 16:13-14) 4. The Bible's message is focused on Christ (Jn 5:39-40, Lk 24:26-27) 5. The founding and authority of the church is focused on Christ (Col 1:18, Eph 1:22-23, 2:19-21) 6. Our identity is focused on Christ (Rom 6:5-8, 2 Cor 5:16-17, Gal 2:20) 7. Our future is focused on Christ (Phil 3:20-21, Tit 2:11-13, 1 Th 4:15-18) 8. Our salvation is focused on Christ (Acts 4:11-12, Col 1:13-14, Rom 5:6-9)

The Israel of God: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow  by O. Palmer Robertson  Proposition #5: Rather than understanding predictions about the "return" of "Israel" to the "land" in terms of a geo-political reestablishment of the state of Israel, these prophecies are more properly interpreted as finding consummate fulfillment at the "restoration of all things" that will accompany the resurrection of believers at the return of Christ (Acts 3:21; Rom. 8:22-23). For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Thirty ONe

The redemption of Christ is the period of time in Jesus' life when He was resurrected and then ascended to Heaven. Jesus' ascension establishes the reality of Christ's cession, intercession and mission. It marks the conclusion of His earthly ministry and the beginning of His exalted reign at the right hand of God the Father, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecy. From heaven, Jesus intercedes for His people as our High Priest, perfectly bridging the divide between a holy God and sinful humanity.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 New International Version   2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.

Mark 16:9-13 New King James Version   9 Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. 12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
