Text: Acts 7:17-22 As we look at this passage, we see how God often works in unexpected ways, preparing us, using adversaries and challenges, and unexpected means to bring us through our trials and into his glory. Much like the Sanhedrin, we often want God to do things just so, but this is not always his will. It is encouraging to know that we have a heavenly father who loves us enough to bring us through even the most challenging times, and that he will use those times to His glory and our good.

Text: Acts 19:8-20  A sermon from our Sunday night series through the book of Acts

Rev. Carl Bosma - Scripture: Acts 20:17-35 Text: Acts 20:17-35

Text: Acts 7:9-16 In this sermon, we look at the second section of Stephen's sermon. Here he turns his focus to Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, the patriarchs of Israel. Stephen draws on the image of Joseph to show that God redeems people who often seem unredeemable, and he does it in ways that are often unexpected. But we'll also see that Joseph is a shadow of Christ, foreshadowing a far better redemption than even the council dared to expect. But just as Joseph foreshadows Christ, Stephen reflects him. As we think about all these connections, we are reminded yet again that our hope is in a God who redeems those who often seem the most unredeemable.

As we celebrate the day of Pentecost, we know that many were baptized that day after they heard the Gospel of the death and resurrection of Jesus.  The death and resurrection of Jesus is what we are baptized into.  And in Baptism we receive forgiveness of sins, we are rescued from death and the devil and given eternal life.  Faith is also present in Baptism as given by the Holy Spirit.  As we also celebrate Confirmation, we see these young people who had been brought to the baptismal font confirm their faith that was given to them in their baptism.

As believers, Missions is not just something we do, it's who we are. We live on mission because we emulate Jesus. This series reminds us the purpose of outreach and missions but also helps us to see how God is working in and through Bethany and our mission partners. Text: Acts 6:1-7Come visit us in person!

This talk was part of the AM Service series entitled The Unstoppable Gospel. Text: Acts 5:17-42 Date: 7 June 2026 Speaker: Craig Newill

Text: Acts 7:1-8 In this sermon, we start looking at Stephen's sermon. The sermon is a Biblically rich rebuke of the religious leaders of his time. The overarching argument is that it should be no surprise that the people mistreated Jesus as they have routinely mistreated God's prophets and servants. But this week, we lay a foundation - God is a faithful God, he will complete that which he promises. Stephen shows this by looking at Abraham's life. Abraham does not receive the land that he is promised, but instead, it takes several generations for that to happen. But that didn't mean God was unfaithful; it meant that God would complete what he promised in the fullness of time.

The Bible is full of beautiful, descriptive, rich, and wonderful truths! It also has some rather… odd… stories than by themselves leave readers with more questions than answers. Passages which on the surface standout as being weird, funny, confusing, or all of the above. This series dives into some of those unique stories to help us mine for the Truth within the curious. Today we look at the story of seven brothers who have a unique encounter with a man possessed by a demon.  Text: Acts 19:11-20Come visit us in person!

Text: Acts 19:1-7  A sermon from our Sunday night series through the book of Acts

Text: Acts 2 : 1 - 13 James Martin

Text: Acts 6:8-15 We now turn our focus to Stephen, sometimes called the proto-martyr (or first Martyr). It is the first time in the book of Acts that we turn our focus away from Peter, John, and the other apostles. But Luke shares this moment for another important reason. In it, we see two very different ways - the way of Christ and the way of man. The contrast couldn't be more stark. The way of man is one of deception and pain, while the way of Christ is one of grace. The invitation, by turning his focus to Stephen, is to ask: which way will you choose, the way of man or the way of God?

Text: Acts 8:26-40 1. The natural & supernatural about it 2. The 3-D change from it 3. The good that drives it Reflection Where is Jesus challenging you as you long for renewal for family, friends, and neighbors?

Text: Acts 6:1-7 In Act 6:1-7, we see the Devil's third attack on the church. This time, he attempts to distract and divide the church through controversy. What has arisen was no small problem, but the Apostles also recognized it could easily distract them from the primary mission: prayer and the ministry of the word. Through the Holy Spirit, the apostles recognize a wise solution, and the church actually becomes stronger. The Devil's devices against the church, more and more disciples become engaged in ministry, and more people come to know Christ.

TEXT: Acts 2:1-4 On Pentecost Sunday, the ascended Lord Jesus Christ revealed His glory: 1. Through the Holy Spirit 2. In the Church 3.With a view to His world-wide Church gathering work

This talk was part of the AM Service series entitled The Unstoppable Gospel. Text: Acts 4:1-31, 5:17-42 Date: 24 May 2026 Speaker: Josh van der Kooij

As Paul was in Athens he found many objects of worship, including an altar to an unknown God.  As we remind ourselves of Peter's words to always be prepared to make a defense of our faith, Paul takes the opportunity to tell the people of Athens about the true God that is unknown to them, that he will make known: the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  As we go about our daily lives, walking in faith, Christ is in us, has given us the Spirit of truth, and He helps us to do that same: share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others.

“Getting to Know God: Reason”Text: Acts 17:16-34 This week, our sermon series about getting to know God looks at the use of reason. It is not the means by which we get to God, but is the tool by which we interpret how God has been revealing himself through Scripture. God calls us to engage…

Text: Acts 1.1-11 Speaker: Sam Burns Date: May 17, 2026

Text: Acts 8:4-25 1. What you must say ‘yes' to 2. What you must say ‘no' to 3. The Spirit's role Reflection Question: What is Jesus calling you to say yes to and/or turn from in obedience to the Spirit?

Text: Acts 5:17-42 In this passage, we see two types of obedience: the first stems from the fear of man and self-made obedience, the second stems from knowing God. In this passage, we learn how Christ has fulfilled our obedience for us, and from that, we get to do because God has already redeemed us. This distinction makes all the difference; the self-made obedience leads to horrible destructions - jealousy, fear of man, and indignation. Obedience to God leads to joy - even in the face of incredible hardship.

Text: Acts 18:18-23  A sermon from our Sunday night series through the book of Acts

Text: Acts 20:24Once a hater, Paul is now the spokesperson for the gospel as it spreads throughout the Gentile world. How he engages people is moving - with passion and persuasion. This is seen clearly in his interaction with the Ephesian elders. The well-attested historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ drives us to be focused and passionate as we make disciples.
