By saying Jesus is a prophet, we mean he is a revealer. He communicates truth. He's the revealer of who God is and what his will is. As a prophet, Jesus comes and speaks to you and to me for God. Even though Jesus is far more than a prophet, he is a prophet. And the fact that Jesus is a prophet shows us that we have a God who speaks to us. Let's look at two aspects of Jesus as a prophet: 1) what are prophets? and 2) why is Jesus the ultimate prophet? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 9, 1994. Series: Understanding Jesus. Scripture: Acts 3:17–26.

Call: Isaiah 46:9-11 Scripture: Acts 13:13-14 NASB

Scripture: Acts 26:9–18, 28–29Main Points:We are called to be witnesses.Every Christian life tells a story; our words and actions communicate something about God to the world.Meeting Jesus changes everything.Paul knew about Jesus, but his life changed only when he came to know Jesus personally. Our relationship with Christ makes our witness possible.Key Quotes:“Your life may be the only sermon someone ever hears. Live it well.”“Knowing about Jesus made no difference to Paul. Knowing Jesus changed his life forever.”Reflection Questions:What story is your life telling right now?Where might God be opening a door for you to share hope with someone?How are you nurturing your relationship with Jesus so your witness flows from love?Takeaway:Grace always takes the first step toward us. Like Paul, we are met by Jesus, changed by Jesus, and sent to tell the story of God's love.

PODCAST All churches have conflict; even the early church.  Today we look at Acts 6 to see how the Disciples dealt with conflict in the early church.  From the Scripture, we can learn how to deal with conflict and help renew the church of today. Scripture: Acts 6: 1-8 (Recorded August 17, 2025)   The post Renewal in the Church appeared first on FHBCatc.

The world promises happiness through self-focus, success, and comfort—but it never delivers lasting joy. In Acts 2, the early church experienced a deep gladness that couldn't be shaken, even in the midst of challenges. In this message, Pastor Daniel Edwards unpacks four truths about biblical joy: it's personal (found in Jesus), pure (a singular heart for Him), purpose-filled (serving in God's mission), and perpetual (lasting forever in His presence). Discover how the Holy Spirit replaces fake news about faith with the real, life-giving gladness that only comes from Christ.

Scripture: Acts 3:1-10Resources for a life of following Jesus, every day, everywhere, with everyone.

Scripture:  Acts 17:1-9 Speaker:  Grant Perkins Summary: This sermon explains how Paul and Silas preached the gospel in Acts 17, boldly declaring that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus is King instead of Caesar, and that Jesus rose from the dead — claims that disrupted the established religious and political order. Their message angered some Jews, leading to accusations that they were “turning the world upside down,” but the Grant clarifies that Jesus is actually turning the world right side up. The sermon shows how humanity lives in an “upside-down” world because of sin, but Jesus' life, teachings, and resurrection reveal the way life was always meant to be. Believers are challenged to live “right side up” now by boldly proclaiming who Jesus is, following his radical teachings, and serving like he did, even when it clashes with cultural norms. Ultimately, Christians are called to embody this gospel way of life as a glimpse of eternity here and now.

Scripture: Acts 9:1–19Main Idea: Saul's transformation into Paul shows us that real change is possible—and that love, not shame or hate, is what brings lasting transformation.Key Points:Like Mark Twain, Saul had a troubling past, but he didn't stay there. God used even his worst moments to tell a new story.Saul was literally “blinded by the light” of Christ—and came out seeing everything, and everyone, differently.Ananias had to change too. Forgiving Saul meant letting go of fear, anger, and judgment.The early church made space for Saul to become Paul. That forgiveness made room for one of the greatest voices in Christian history.Real change doesn't come through shame. It comes through love—bold, courageous, Christ-like love.We must ask ourselves: Are we like Jonah, clinging to resentment? Or like Ananias, ready to welcome transformed lives?Reflect:Who have I written off as beyond redemption or change?Where might God be asking me to lay down resentment or fear?Am I loving people into belief—or arguing them away from it?Quote of the Week:“In the end, we love people into belief. We do not argue them into belief.” – Tim KellerNext Step:Pray this week for the eyes to see others—especially those who have hurt or opposed you—as Jesus sees them: full of possibility and beloved by God.

Join us as Teaching Elder Adam Vinson continues through our post-Acts study and discussion of the Gospel. Notes from today can be found at the link below. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GIlDzEO_Tsu9j0y_kjjJDpUwP0o1DE68/view

Scripture: Acts 2:41-42. What we see in today's Scripture is that believers “practiced” living out their faith by doing. Not with head knowledge of “HOW to do things,” but by simply “DOING things.” Today's verses tell us they devoted themselves NOT to the “How,” but rather to the “Doing.” Today verses say: Acts 2:41-42 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. They not only DID these things, they “devoted” themselves to doing them. They practiced them. Practice definition - noun:     1.    The actual application of use of an idea, belief, or method as opposed to theories relating to it.     2.    The customary, habitual or expected procedure of way of doing of something. Pastor shares a great basketball example to help us understand the difference between “how to do things” and “doing things.” And in his example we will see that doing requires practice! Let's examine verse 42.     1.    Devoted themselves to the apostles teaching - the Greek word used for “devoting” actually is more accurately translated as “continually devoting” themselves to what they had been taught about the Gospel message of Jesus. We are to hold onto the right teachings and truth and practice living them. The application for us for “being devoted to the apostles teaching” is through:     ⁃    Regular study of God's Word     ⁃    Solid biblical teaching     ⁃    Christ-centered, Spirit-lead     2.    Devoted themselves to fellowship - time with others that believed. Fellowship has several meanings, all which apply. It can mean communion both in having communion with the Holy Spirit and communion with the body and blood of Jesus. It can also refer to participation in sharing with others, being generous. The application for us for “being devoted to fellowship” is through:     ⁃    Large and small groups     ⁃    Christian friends and mentors     ⁃    Generous life style     3.    Devoted themselves to the breaking of bread which is they had meals together for sharing their faith both privately and publicly. They went to temple (large groups) and to small home groups along with doing the Lord's Supper together. The application for us for “being devoted to breaking of bread” is by:     ⁃    Christian fellowship at mealtime     ⁃    Faith talk at meals     ⁃    Lord's Supper     4.    Devoted themselves to prayer by following the morning and evening prayer times, formal times of prayer, but also informal prayer times in home gatherings and other places both public and private. The application for us for “being devoted to prayer” is by:     5.    Having a personal prayer life - God desires we talk to Him     6.    Prayer partners - people we pray with     7.    Public prayer and worship  We too are called to practice, not just understand what the Bible says about the Christian faith but DOING what the Bible says about the Christian faith Questions - Am I aware of what God is saying? Am I growing in the apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer? Am I putting these into practice?  Do I understand AND apply this verse? Do I understand what I am to do and do I do it? God is calling us to act on - to practice - the application of what we saw in today's verse. Now What?
