Readings for the Sixth Sunday of Easter - Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23; John 14:23-29Let's be clear - being a follower of Jesus Christ is not for the weak of heart. Not just because it could lead to being ostracized or having to make difficult decisions, although both can be true. Rather, I speak of the gray cloud of unknowing. Those times when we are uncertain what the right decision is and we are hesitant to step out in faith. It would be much easier if someone (the Church? God? Our spouse?) would simply tell us what to do. We don't have to engage - we just do as we are told. But that's not the life of faith to which we are called. We are invited into a dance w/ the Holy Spirit. And the Church. And our loved ones. And we are never settled. That ground continually shifts. The end draws nearer - two more episodes to go. We will wrap up this podcast on the Feast of Pentecost after over five years and 720 episodes. Thank you to all of you for your support, your trust and your presence. I'm humbled and honored.

JERELL CARPER, Guest Speaker / Third Sunday of Easter / Acts 9.1-20

In this sermon, Pastor Jason walks us through the foundational marks of the early church, highlighting how believers responded after Christ's resurrection. Beginning with a celebration of worship, Pastor Jason reflects on the importance of the resurrection and how it ignited the formation of the early church. Pastor Jason explores how the church was never meant to be just an institution but a dynamic, Spirit-empowered movement. Through the empowerment of the disciples by the Holy Spirit, the early believers lived lives radically devoted to God's purposes. This sermon focuses on five key devotions that shaped the life and impact of the early church: Devotion to the Word of God – A commitment to truth that grounded their faith. Devotion to Community and Fellowship – Living in authentic, sacrificial relationships. Devotion to Worship – Honoring God with hearts full of praise and reverence. Devotion to Witness and Evangelism – Boldly proclaiming the gospel and expanding the Kingdom. With a heartfelt conclusion and call to action, Pastor Jason challenges us to rekindle these devotions in our lives today, reminding us that the same Spirit who empowered the early church is still at work in us now.   00:00 Introduction and Celebration of Worship 02:34 The Importance of the Resurrection and Early Church Formation 06:23 Understanding the Church as a Movement 10:42 Empowerment of the Disciples and the Role of the Holy Spirit 14:29 Devotion of the Early Church 20:23 Devotion to the Word of God 24:30 Devotion to Community and Fellowship 28:20 Devotion to Worship 32:26 Devotion to Witness and Evangelism 36:17 Conclusion and Call to Action

2025-04-20 Easter -Acts 5:17-39 -"Gamaliel's Perilous Position" by Imperial Berean

Here at Waterbrooke, we have been studying the New Testament book of Acts. This Sunday, we are in Acts 9:32-43 as we celebrate Easter Sunday and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The entire book of Acts is both a demonstration and a defense of the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Brandon Crowe from Westminster Theological Seminary writes: “The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the key emphases of Acts, and this helps us appreciate the theological unity of the entire book.” I would say that the resurrection is THE key emphasis of the book of Acts. The resurrected Christ has transformed His timid disciples into bold apostles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their changed lives and their bold ministries are proof of the resurrection. The pouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost is proof that Jesus is both risen and reigning. The conversion of multitudes of people is proof of the power of the risen Christ, beginning to change humanity. Saul of Tarsus' radical conversion is clearly declared to have happened because of his encounter with the resurrected Christ on the road to Damascus. For Luke, every advancement of the kingdom of God into the nations is proof of the resurrected Christ. Acts displays what Jesus continued to do as the risen and reigning Savior and King to advance His kingdom and to bring the nations to Himself. The resurrection has changed everything! C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Miracles, “To preach Christianity meant (to the Apostles) primarily to preach the Resurrection. … The Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the Acts. The Resurrection and its consequences were the ‘gospel' or good news which the Christians brought.” (Miracles, ch. 16) This Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection and reminded ourselves what it is that we are declaring when we announce and rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Friends, Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Our message is called: What the Resurrection Changes! Let's rejoice this Sunday with great rejoicing and sing and declare with confidence that His resurrection changes everything for good! Looking forward to celebrating Easter with you! Invite your family and friends to celebrate with us! In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

Readings for the Fifth Sunday of Easter - Acts 9:26-31; John 15:1-8The further we get from Easter, the less "Eastery" our readings sound. Today we hear of Paul attempting to find his footing in Jerusalem among the apostles and Jesus speaking to us of grapes and vines and fruit that will remain. But what does this have to do w/ the celebration of Easter? What lessons are we to take? It means that new life is not found just among the tombs of Jerusalem. It's found in our daily walk and work, the unseen growth we experience, and the courage of those around us.Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music. And thanks to all of you for breaking open God's Word alongside of me. If this is a podcast that has touched you, I invite you to rate it on your favorite listening app or share it with a friend.

What is the sum total of your life? Will anyone related to you even care 4 or five generations from now? Jesus cares and showed it by showing us where and how we will be forever with +Him.

“Woe is me” we cry as Christians, but whom did the reason for all our woe truly fall upon. Ultimately it WAS NOT us! So who was it?

Readings for the Fourth Sunday of Easter - Acts 4:8-12; John 10:11-18Peter follows closely in the footsteps of Jesus in our readings today - both through his actions and then as fearlessly speaking the truth to power. But what he reminds the leaders of Israel is also good for us to recall - that in the economy of God, nothing is useless. There is nothing that need be thrown away. God can and will use it all - including those things about ourselves of which we are most ashamed and we most try to hide.

Acts puts those words into Peter's mouth, while the Gospel shows us what forgiveness looks like on Easter Sunday evening. Is there something troubling you? Do you feel imprisoned in fear? Do not be afraid. For there is no where you can go to outrun the forgiveness, love and mercy of our God.Special thanks to Eileen Piper for joining in this podcast, as well as to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.
