Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 2:42-47, we see how the early church lived. The people followed the teaching of the apostles, fellowshipped together, broke bread and prayed. The early church did not have the New Testament like we do today, so the teaching focussed on the Old Testament and how the scriptures pointed to Jesus. Fellowship, in the context of the early church, is a word we don't fully understand. It is MUCH more than "hangin gout" together; instead it is sacrificially giving ourselves for others. The Breaking of Bread may have meant communion, or it may have meant sharing meals together - possibly it was both. Prayer was something the early church did multiple times per day - coming from a Jewish background these people were used to praying at fixed times of the day and spontaneously. We need to think of our prayer times as unstructured. We need to schedule prayer into our daily Christian life. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Midland Evangelical Free Church Sermon Audio Midland, MI

Our life together as a church is supposed to reveal something about life in the kingdom. Our speedy repentance reveals…

“Forgiveness. Can you imagine?” The frequency of the sin. The magnitude of the hurt. The cultural discouragement. For these reasons, forgiveness is one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian life. Listen again as Lewis Roderick preaches a message about forgiveness: what it is, why we often can't, and how we can.

Life Together

In a world full of trouble, we're tempted to focus on what we CAN'T control instead of what we CAN do. Jesus told his disciples that through the power of the Holy Spirit they would do even greater works than he did. “We Can Do It” is a reminder of what really matters and a return to the simple ways of Jesus: Doing life together, loving our neighbors, reaching the lost, and making disciples. If you're ready to live a life that makes a difference, this series is for you! It will challenge you, equip you, and inspire you to change the world.
