This is the First Sunday of Lent, and a new Sermon Series titled “Letters from CELL 92, Lent with Bonhoeffer” from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. SCRIPTURE READING: Acts 17:16-31 16 While Paul waited for them in Athens, he was deeply distressed to find that the city was flooded with idols. 17 He began to interact with the Jews and Gentile God-worshippers in the synagogue. He also addressed whoever happened to be in the marketplace each day. 18 Certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion too. Some said, “What an amateur! What's he trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods.” (They said this because he was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.) 19 They took him into custody and brought him to the council on Mars Hill. “What is this new teaching? Can we learn what you are talking about? 20 You've told us some strange things and we want to know what they mean.” (21 They said this because all Athenians as well as the foreigners who live in Athens used to spend their time doing nothing but talking about or listening to the newest thing.) 22 Paul stood up in the middle of the council on Mars Hill and said, “People of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way. 23 As I was walking through town and carefully observing your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: ‘To an unknown God.' What you worship as unknown, I now proclaim to you. 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't live in temples made with human hands. 25 Nor is God served by human hands, as though he needed something, since he is the one who gives life, breath, and everything else. 26 From one person God created every human nation to live on the whole earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God made the nations so they would seek him, perhaps even reach out to him and find him. In fact, God isn't far away from any of us. 28 In God we live, move, and exist. As some of your own poets said, ‘We are his offspring.' 29 “Therefore, as God's offspring, we have no need to imagine that the divine being is like a gold, silver, or stone image made by human skill and thought. 30 God overlooks ignorance of these things in times past, but now directs everyone everywhere to change their hearts and lives. 31 This is because God has set a day when he intends to judge the world justly by a man he has appointed. God has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

Most of us have been through a season of life (or two or three) when we drifted away from our faith. When that happens, the results are usually not good. So how can we keep from drifting? In today's sermon, we'll explore one of the most powerful ways we can stay rooted in Jesus through all the ups and downs of life. Join us as we continue our series, “Rooted.”  Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42–47 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

Put the Word in until everything in you is under its control.  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.Psalm 91:11It's time to set the record straight. Angels are not kid stuff. They're not little fat babies with long blonde hair and bows and arrows in their hands. Angels are big, strong warriors. They are real. They are powerful. And if you are a believer, they are a vital part of your life.We see examples of what angels can do all through the Bible. For instance, when the children of Israel were fleeing from Egypt with Pharaoh's army hot on their heels, the Bible tells us that suddenly the wheels on the Egyptians' chariots got fouled up. They just quit rolling!Who do you think caused that? The angels, of course!They haven't retired since then either. Angels are at work today just as they've always been.A few years ago in one of Israel's major wars, the enemy had their guns trained on Israeli cities. Those guns were the finest military equipment money could buy. They had a range of at least 20 miles and were equipped with electronic gun sights for accuracy.But something very odd happened. Every time they fired those guns at the Israelis, they either overshot or fell far short of their targets. We know there was nothing wrong with the guns because later the Israelis captured them and fired them back at the enemy with perfect success.What happened? Angels, that's what!My friend, that isn't just a fairy tale. That's a real-life example of the involvement of angels in the lives of God's people today. And, if you're a child of God, you have a right to expect God's angels to do the same kind of things for you.So, start expecting! Say, “Thank You, heavenly Father, for giving Your angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways.” Once you've spoken that word of faith, stand fast. Don't fear. Don't waver. Just be patient and keep believing, and you will surely see the salvation of the Lord.Scripture Reading:Acts 12:1-17

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves standing at a crossroads where we have to choose between what feels good and what's right. And our decisions in those pivotal moments often shape our lives, and the lives of those around us, in profound and lasting ways. So in today's sermon, we'll explore the story of the very first Christians when they found themselves at a major crossroads. And as we study their bold example, we'll consider what's possible for us, and for our church, if we follow in their footsteps. Join us as we begin a new series, “Powerful Prayers.” Scripture Reading: Acts 4:23-31 NIV Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

Scripture Reading: Acts 20:17-38 The account of Paul's exhortation to the elders of the church at Ephesus is one of the more moving stories in the Bible.  It contains not only the evidence of Paul's love for his Ephesian brothers, but an insight into the ministry of the apostle.  What we have here is a detailed description of what Paul did in serving Christ as well as the manner in which he accomplished his ministry. Two activities of ministry are presented in this passage … instruction and admonition.  There is a central focus on teaching the Word of God (Acts 20:20,27,32), as Paul declares, "I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God." Second, Paul admonished the people in the church in Ephesus (20:31).  This word involves counseling, encouraging, warning, advising.  The manner in which Paul carried out the responsibilities of his office is highly instructive to us.  He discharged the duties of his office with humility (20:19), tears (20:19,31), courage (20:19,20,27), diligence (20:31,34,35), self-sacrifice (20:22-24, 33-35), and seriousness (20:24). This passage is not simply a model for pastoral leadership … it is a model for every form of service in Christ's kingdom, both inside and outside the church … in all our activities, as people who have taken the name of Christ. 

Scripture Reading: Acts 27:13-28:10 Sometimes ship wrecks can be blessings. Jesus Christ is your peace in the midst of storm and trouble. Place your trust in He who overcame the world on the Cross.

Scripture Reading: Acts 5:1-11 True Love leaves no room for exceptions. To be a people who love without exception. Who give without condition. Who lay down their lives, because we know that in Christ, anything less than everything is nothing, and better than the best love song, whatever is sacrificed in love is gain.
