Luke 9:37-50

Acts: Resurrection Power Unleashed

2022-09-25 Hurry Up & Waitby Seth CarrollScripture Reference: Hebrews 11:8-168 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.13 All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. 15 And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

1 Peter 5:1-4 In this final chapter of his first epistle, Peter addresses the leadership of the church. Pastor Rod Bunton surveys the Bible on the topic of leadership to help us understand what God's word says about the proper approach. The post Shepherd the Flock of God appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Charlie Greenwell covers the role of priests from Leviticus chapters 8 and 9. The post The Priesthood appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Main Point: We have been chosen by God to be a royal priesthood that offers lives of spiritual sacrifice to him. Sermon Points: Have you tasted that the Lord is good? Is Christ your cornerstone or your stumbling block? What does your building look like? Are you living as an exile in the world or a citizen of the world?

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The church of Corinth was obsessed with flashy gifts and spectacular demonstrations of the Spirit. They stratified levels of spirituality based on the gifts people had. Instead of these manifestations of grace building up the body of Christ, self-promotion and individualism were eroding church unity. So, Paul teaches about genuine spirituality and how it promotes the Lordship of Christ, the unity of the body, and the edification of other believers. May the Lord help us appreciate the diversity of gifts in the church, and may we use them to build up the body in love for the glory God.

Simon Peter, the leader of the apostles, was now an older saint. It had been more than 30 years since he had last seen Jesus, experienced the coming of the Holy Spirit, and preached the gospel at Pentecost. Yet Peter knew times were changing – the Roman Empire was becoming more hostile to the faith, persecution of believers was becoming increasingly intense, and Christians needed to be encouraged more than ever. So, led by the Spirit, Peter wrote a letter – to the “elect exiles” – both Jews and Gentiles, those chosen by God but rejected by the world. Join us for an in-depth study of the book of I Peter and consider a message more timely now than the day it was written.For more resources like this, visit us at:  Verse By Verse Fellowship.

Message from Jason Freeman on September 18, 2022

Proverbs 13:12 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - On first glance, Solomon's words in this proverb seem quite trite. Is he simply saying that when we get what we want, we are happy, but when we don't, we aren't? I don't think so. Hidden behind the seeming simplicity of these few words is a profound truth about hope itself and the Bible's teaching on it. One theologian said, “You've heard of the milk of the word and the meat of the word. Well, Proverbs is the hard candy of the Word. You can't gulp it down like milk and you can't just chew and swallow it like meat, you have to ponder it, roll it around for a while until the sweetness oozes out.” (Ed Clowney) That is abundantly true as we approach this proverb. Because with these 2 simple lines, Solomon goes right to the core of who we are to reveal to us our only true source of hope. This proverb is going to help us wisely handle our hope.

2022-09-18 Five Elements of the Gospelby Larry BowserScripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 15:1-6Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

1 Peter 4:12-19 Although the theme of this epistle has been about Christian suffering, Peter focuses directly on that topic in this summary.

From the Series:

Tucked in the middle of the movie, The Passion of the Christ is a scene that I find my mind going back to again and again. Jesus has been beaten bloody and carries his cross through the streets of Jerusalem. The weight of the wood, the exhaustion of the beating, and the blood in his eyes from the crown of thorns suddenly become too much for him. He collapses to the ground, the cross pinning him there. His mother watches on, and like any mother who sees her child fall, she runs to comfort him, saying, “I'm here.” Jesus turns to her, cups her cheek, and says, “See, mother, I make all things new.” It's a line you won't find in any of the Gospels or their passion narratives. Instead, it comes from the throne of heaven in Revelation 21:5. “Behold, I am making all things new.” I love that promise there at the culmination of all things, but I'm moved by how the Passion of the Christ reminds me of the price of the promise. The chaos of this world is conquered by the cross. Humanity's final union with the Father is delivered by the one who was rejected. The promise of the end of mourning and pain was accomplished through the man of sorrows. The transformation of the sufferings of Jesus into the glory to be revealed in us is beyond my comprehension today. Still, it is the hope we share and extend to the hurting around us.

Main Point: We need God to apply the gospel to every aspect of our lives. 1. The Posture of Paul's Prayers (14-15) 2. The Requests of Paul's Prayers (16-19) A. For Strengthening (16-17A) B. For Comprehending (17B-19A) C. For Filling (19B) 3. The Conclusion of Paul's Prayers (20-21)

Monday Evening

I've appeared in court on three different occasions. I was called to be a witness all three times, compelled to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And, on all three occasions, I did precisely that. The first two times, I was there to testify to the character of the defendants, or a lack thereof. I did not enjoy either of those appearances. But the last time I was called to testify was on behalf of my son, Connor. When Connor turned 18, he became an adult in the eyes of the state. I was in court to testify that, given his challenges, Connor needs our help and support and will always have our love. On December 10, 2020, with a bang of a gavel, a judge awarded us guardianship of our son. We celebrated with sushi. In Isaiah 43:1, the prophet testifies, “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah then launches into a courtroom drama and calls his people to testify to God's faithfulness to them. Standing before his witnesses, the Lord testifies to our need for a savior, a deliverer, and his love.

Rev. Dr. Nathan Hart

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Paul addresses the Corinthian problem associated with the Lord's Supper. They were being selfish and divisive, greedy and factious. And that totally contradicted the nature of Communion. The ordinance was established to portray Jesus' selflessness, sacrifice, and love. It was meant to bring the church together with blood-bought unity. But things were upside down in Corinth. So, Paul called these believers back to the original intent of the meal. He called them back to the worship of Christ. May our church be marked by love and unity as we worship Jesus together. And may our celebration of communion truly picture the beauty of the gospel of grace.
