God's Gospel Goes Global After Peter told the story of his vision and going to Joppa to the home of Cornelius, we read in Acts 11:18 that "… the believers in Jerusalem had no further objections and praised God saying, 'So even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.'" And now the barriers that had existed between the Jewish world and the non-Jewish world are down in a single moment. The believers in Jerusalem that had grown up as devout Jewish people had their eyes opened to understand the new age that God promised had arrived. AND God's Gospel Goes Global!!! Then + Now GOD's Plan - His plan and intent have always been to win the entire world to Himself. God's plan is coming to fruition. Romans 10:12-13 we see that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile because the Lord saves all who call on Him. In verse 19 and 20 we read that those scattered by the persecution following Stephen's martyrdom are spreading into Cyprus, Phoenicia and Antioch sharing the gospel message to Jews and Greeks. Peter's ministry to Cornelius opened the flood gates!! Verse 21 tells us that the Lord was with them and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. We see the gospel exploding in Antioch, a place with many from multiple backgrounds and cultures, a wealthy city and an incredibly immoral city and this is where the Gospel explodes!! Unbelievers discover what they are living for has no lasting value, leaving them empty. Does this sound like the world today? It is there that God desires to bring the Good News that changes people lives, transforming them from the inside out, that brings an eternal destiny, and great joy and He does that through His people then and NOW! God's People - God uses His people to do mighty things. He desires to use us to touch our families, neighbors, and even our enemies with His word and his love. In verse 22 the news of the spread of the Gospel got back to the church in Jerusalem, so they send Barnabas to Antioch. Barnabas was from Cypress and was known as an encourager and once he saw what the grace of God was doing there, he encouraged the new believers to persevere in their faith with all their hearts, just as we need to do TODAY! God's Grace - God's breaks into our lives because He is good, not because of anything we have done, but because He is gracious. It is all based on what Jesus did at the cross. We all need to encounter that grace and know that God cares for us. His grace is powerful and changes lives, families, marriages, communities and the world both then and NOW!. God's Leaders - Through Barnabas a great number of people are brought to the Lord. And Barnabas goes to Tarsus to bring Saul to Antioch. God assembles a great group of leaders, an amazing team uniquely qualified to carry out God's plan. In verse 26 we read that great numbers of people in Antioch were taught for an entire year by this leadership team, equipping God's people to know God, His Word, His guidance, His direction, and His Holy Spirit. These leaders were specially needed in a corrupt age, in a corrupt city, because if God's people are not equipped they will fall prey to the enemy. Today we see God continuing to raise up leaders to do His work, in His strength and with His guidance and Holy Spirit. God's Teaching - we need to be instructed in the Truth. It is a matter of connecting what the Bible says to the life of a believer. Orthodoxy - right opinion - Beliefs - essential to be grounded in God's truth - the message of Christ's forgiveness. Orthopraxy - right practice - Conduct - knowing how to live our lives in a fallen world. It's not just head knowledge, it is about heartfelt, Spirit-guided living - conduct that becomes a follower of Jesus. Titus 2:11-14 - the grace of God offers salvation to ALL people and teaches us to live self-controlled, godly lives as we await Christ's return. God's Mercy - In verses 28-30 we read that Agabus, a prophet, predicts a famine, so the disciples decide to support the believers living in Judea. In the mercy of God they reached out to those in the midst of famine, then. Today, God's mercy shows in us as we walk by faith and follow the Holy Spirit's leading. … and God's Gospel continues to Go Global! This week's READING ASSIGNMENT: Acts chapter 11-12. Now What?

RUTH SERIES | EP. 55 | Close the Books Before the Night Falls | The Wisdom of Naomi That Can Save Your Future| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Scripture Focus: Ruth 1:12 What if one of the greatest reasons for confusion, broken relationships, delayed destinies, and emotional exhaustion is that you never closed the account? In this profound episode of the RUTH SERIES, we continue our verse-by-verse exposition of Ruth 1:12, uncovering an extraordinary principle hidden within Naomi's conversation with Ruth and Orpah. Far from speaking out of hopelessness, Naomi demonstrates remarkable wisdom by refusing to carry unresolved matters into another season of life. Through the Hebrew understanding of "tonight" (Layel), this study reveals that every season has a closing point. Just as accountants balance their books before the end of the business day, God calls His children to settle matters, define relationships, resolve conflicts, and make intentional decisions before unnecessary complications arise. Discover why: • Every healthy relationship requires accountability. • Undefined relationships eventually become painful relationships. • Open accounts create complicated lives. • Night seasons reveal who is truly called to walk with you. • Purpose, not sentiment, defines lasting relationships. Adversity is often God's appointed season for separating destiny companions from temporary companions. You will also learn why Naomi's decision to release Orpah was not rejection but wisdom, why Ruth's commitment was tested before it was celebrated, and how unresolved emotional, relational, and spiritual accounts can quietly hinder your progress. If you've ever struggled with lingering relationships, delayed decisions, emotional baggage, unanswered conversations, or people who have remained in your life beyond their God-appointed season, this episode will provide practical biblical wisdom for moving forward with clarity, peace, and purpose. Listen prayerfully, examine every "open account" in your life, and ask the Holy Spirit for the courage to close what Heaven has already completed, so you can walk freely into the future God has prepared for you. Jesus is Lord

The high priest meant murder when he said one man should die for the people, but he spake not of himself, and God turned a wicked mouth to prophesy that Christ should die for the nation. Man plots his place and his power while God ordains the shed blood that gathers His scattered children into one. That salvation is held out to you now in the Word made flesh, received by a faith that does not draw back.

In Week 8 of The Fundamentals, we dive into what the Bible says about the Church and why it matters for every believer. This message explores the truth that the Church is not just a place we go, but the people of God called out by Jesus, united in Him, and sent to live on mission. We look at what the Church is, who belongs to it, the purpose of the Church, and how we are called to live as the body of Christ. This teaching is a reminder that we are meant to glorify God by loving Him, loving one another, and making Him known to the world around us. Whether you've been walking with Jesus for years or you're still learning what faith looks like, this message will encourage you to see the beauty of belonging to God's family and living with purpose in His plan.

Some of us know this story well. Some of us are still figuring out what it means. But all of us need to hear it again. Don't let us forget what his suffering cost — or what it made possible for us. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “What Wondrous Love Is This“ HYMN: “Take My Life and Let it Be” - #399 CALL TO WORSHIP: Leader: Before you walked through those doors this morning, God was already here. Not waiting — reaching. The same way God has been reaching for you all week long. People: Some of us felt it. Some of us are still waiting to. But something kept drawing us back to this place. Leader: That was God. In the middle of a Tuesday that wouldn't end. In the quiet of a house that felt too empty. At the kitchen table when you didn't know what to pray anymore. People: God was there even when our prayers felt like talking to the ceiling. Especially then. Leader: So now we gather. Not as strangers who happen to sit in the same room — but as one body. We carry each other's doubt. Each other's exhaustion. Each other's stubborn hope. People: We are not alone in this. We have never been alone in this. Leader: And Christ is here. Walking with us toward Jerusalem. Toward the cross. We don't fully understand why it had to be this way. People: But we trust the one who's walking it with us. Leader: So come as you are. Fully. Every last bit of you. People: We come with everything we've got. We worship — because even now, especially now, God is making something new out of all of us.

You never stop making things new — and we need you to do that in us, too. You offer us new life through Christ. Not someday, but today. Open our hearts. Fill us with your Holy Spirit. Change what needs changing. Soften what's gotten hard. We are here to worship you, and we don't want to leave the same way we came in. In your holy name we pray. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “Lift Up Your Heads“ HYMN: “The Church's One Foundation” - #545 CALL TO WORSHIP: Leader: The Lord is our shepherd; we will have all that we need; we are released from fear. People: The Shepherd guides us in fruitful living, giving us healing and pardon. Leader: Even though difficulties and dangers may lie ahead, we do not need to fear. People: God's love and strength are as a rod and staff for us. Leader: God will give us abundantly from God's own love. People: Surely this goodness and mercy will be with us all of our days, and we will dwell in God's loving care forevermore. AMEN. HYMN: “Through It All” HYMN: “Sweet Hour of Prayer” - #496 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Faithful God, you made us to live close to you — to trust your voice, to follow where your Spirit leads, to love the people you love. But we turn away. We choose our own path. And when we do, fear rushes in to fill the space we've left. We grow quiet when your Spirit nudges us to speak. We hold back when your Spirit pushes us to act. We look away from the injustice right in front of us — and we do it together. Our silence becomes something we share. This grieves your heart. Forgive us for the turning — for choosing fear over the Spirit who was right there. By your perfect love, cast out every fear that has made its home in us. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

People: By Christ's wounds, we are healed. All: Let us worship the God of mercy, love, and forgiveness! HYMN: “Isn't He” MINISTRY MOMENT – LILLIAN FAITH PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord God, we bow our heads before you in humble confession of the wrongs we have done, as well as the acts of love and mercy we have not done. We have bent the truth to serve our own purposes. We have been slow to apologize and swift to condemn. We have refused to make allowances for others while demanding others make allowances for us. We have coveted things we do not need. We have spoken more than we have listened, getting carried away by our own self-importance. We have been slow to serve, but quick to demand service of others. We arrogantly imagine we can manage the lives of other people when we have not yet learned to manage our own with righteousness. For Jesus' sake, forgive us these sins, as well as those particular wrongs we name in silence. [pause for self-examination]. Leader: Beginning during this Lenten season, help us follow him in all our thoughts, words and deeds. Amen.

"It's Complicated" is our series at Fusion Christian Church on relationships. Everyone knows our relationships are messy, but not everyone knows how to navigate them. This series will provide godly, biblical principles for keeping your relationships much less complicated! In Part 5, Pastor Zac teaches about how to win in our relationships.You can't win with people if you forget who you represent.The most important aspect of winning in our relationships is remembering Jesus. As Christians, we represent Christ in what we do and sometimes we forget that. If we remember that we are ambassadors for Christ it can help us to maintain a Christlike attitude. When we do forget, we will find ourselves acting selfishly rather than selflessly. Love others as if you were Christ himself!Get the right surround sound in your life.The company we keep is incredibly important for every aspect of our lives. It is especially important in our relationships. Who you choose to spend your time will impact the success of your relationships more than almost anything. It will affect who you are in relationship with and how those relationships go. If you choose ungodly people, you will act like them and think like them. You will become more ungodly yourself. Choose, instead, to surround yourself with godly people who will encourage you. By surrounding yourself with godly people, you will become more godly through their influence. Why fight against the cultural current among worldly people to be like the world? Opt to spend most of your time with godly people that want to pursue Christ.Always fill the tank of others.Filling the tank is all about being an encourager. Have you ever been around someone who is always negative? They tend to leave you feeling drained: like your tank is empty. Don't be like those people! Instead, be an encourager and a life-giver through your speech. Uplift people with your words and actions and leave them feeling refreshed rather than parched.

In this episode of CPXL, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant—God's foundational promise that sets the trajectory for the entire biblical story.Walking through Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we see that God's covenant is entirely His initiative—grounded in faith, not performance.

R. Marcus Rubenstein's sermon during Shabbat morning services at Temple of Aaron on October, 11th, 2025 on Shabbat Chol HaMoed Sukkot.
How does one of the greatest men of God crater so quickly?I Kings 18:46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak intohis belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.I Kings 19:3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life.Elijah didn't stop believing in God.Elijah stopped connecting with God's people.I Kings 19:3-4 When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servantthere, while he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness. He came to abroom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have hadenough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” I Kings 19:9 And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here,Elijah?”I Kings 19:10 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty.The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put yourprophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left,I Kings 18:12b-13 Yet I your servant have worshiped the Lord since my youth.Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets ofthe Lord? I hid a hundred of the Lord's prophets in two caves, fifty in each, andsupplied them with food and water. 3 Reasons We Isolate1. We grow comfortable with ISOLATION and being ALONE.God may PREPARE you in solitude, but He will SUSTAIN you in community.The root cause of most issues in our life a lack of a strong CHRISTIANCOMMUNITY.Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 ‘Two are better than one, because they have a good return fortheir labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyonewho falls and has no one to help them up.'Hebrews 10:24–25 ‘And let us consider how we may spur one another on towardlove and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit ofdoing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Dayapproaching.'CONNECT GROUP QR code slide on screen2. We believe the LIE that no one can RELATE to my situation.Your feelings are REAL, but they are not always RIGHT.1 Corinthians 10:13 ‘No temptation has overtaken you except what is common tomankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you canbear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you canendure it.'James 5:17 ‘Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that itwould not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.'3. We forget how many PEOPLE God has FOR US.I Kings 19:13 Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah.”I Kings 19:14 “I am the only one left.”1 Kings 19:15 “The Lord said to him, ‘Go back the way you came,I Kings 19:18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have notbowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.'”Proverbs 27:17 ‘As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'Galatians 6:2 ‘Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the lawof Christ.'1 Kings 19:11–12 “The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in thepresence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.' Then a great and powerfulwind tore through the mountains and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but theLord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lordwas not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was notin the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”
How do you know when God is moving amongst His people? You'll see repentance, humility, and transformed hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God's movement and involvement in our lives. He teaches from the book of Acts to demonstrate the power, glory, and righteousness of God and how the world's values fail to align with the Lord's. It isn't just a battle over law and order—there's a spiritual conflict unfolding. We're watching as morality continues to degrade, but there is hope! When we stand firm in our faith and trust the Holy Spirit to guide us in His perfect plans, God will bring us out of the darkness and into His light.
Not every church is positioned for revival. In this episode, I outline 9 traits that distinguish the remnant church—those local congregations God uses to shape culture, disciple nations, and steward His glory. From radical unity to deep discipleship, we'll examine what made the early Church in Acts a transformative force and how we can return to that blueprint today. This episode is a roadmap for leaders and believers seeking to align their church with God's original design.
