The Good News is being preached outside of Jerusalem, and the Church is growing as both Jews and Greeks believe in Jesus. (Lectionary #280) May 13, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're jumping into Acts 19:1–10 in our series, We Are All Witnesses, Part 4, where we see a clear picture of what makes a church fruitful. It's not flashy programs or clever strategies—it's faithful leaders who embody three key characteristics. In this passage, we'll see how true leaders teach people the truth, make the most of tough situations, persevere through difficulty, and train others to carry the mission forward. Let's lean in and ask God to shape us into the kind of people who help His church thrive. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

The Apostle Paul's first missionary journey is recorded in Acts 13 and 14 and tells the story of how the gospel spread beyond Jewish communities to Gentiles. It's a story of the Holy Spirit and the perseverance of the early church in the face of determined persecution. We are encouraged when we recognize parallels between Paul's experiences and our modern efforts to partner with the Holy Spirit to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Series: The Church

1 Thessalonians 2:13-20 New King James Version: Their Conversion 13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 14 For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost. Longing to See Them 17 But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. 18 Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.

Sermon November 12 - Acts 4: The Church Grows by Sunnybrook Christian Church

A Healthy Church Grows

Throughout 2023, we are reading and studying passages of Scripture as a church family that speak about the topic of Growing in Christ. We continue this year-long series with Missions Pastor Dr. Benji Lavender speaking from Ephesians chapter 4 about church growth.

How should the church engage a culture marred by effects of gun violence? A Philadelphia pastor says pray, study the culture around you and engage it with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mark Morton was a sergeant with the Reno Police Department when he was called in 2005 out of the congregation to be the pastor of Granite Hills Church in Reno, Nevada. And, do you want to create a healthy culture in your church, organization or home? An article in the Baptist Press Toolbox looks to the culture Christ created as He led his disciples.
