Be Prepared: Acts 25, 26

Watch, "Be Prepared: Acts 25, 26" By Greg Sidders

Are you a dangerous person?

Spiritually, I mean. Are the people who cross your path at risk of encountering Christ?

In this message we are going to be issued a nifty set of four different tools that we can take with us wherever we go to help people reckon with the truth about Jesus. It's what the Book of Acts is all about--equipping ordinary folks like us to help change the lives and destinies of people God has put in our area code.

Truth Dodger

Sunday, 07-19-15

No doubt there is someone in your relational web whose eternal destiny matters more to you than it does to them. What is keeping them from responding to the truth they are being exposed to? And what can you do transform their apathy into curiosity?

In this message we are going to learn, from the interaction between an articulate Christian and an apathetic non-Christian, how to help those we love deal with, rather than dodge, the truth that can change their life.

The Courageous Christian: Acts 21-23

 
If you want to share with others the good news that has changed your life, but you almost never do it, I can guess why.

Fear.

You're afraid that something bad might happen, right? Worst-case scenarios haunt you into guilty silence.

So why was it that the apostle Paul, who actually suffered for sharing his faith in all the ways we fear, became more, not less, outspoken over time? Was he a glutton for punishment, or was he motivated by something stronger than fear?

In this message I will show you the secret to Paul's boldness, so that you will have the courage to get what is in your heart out of your mouth.

No Regrets: Acts 20

Watch, "No Regrets: Acts 20" By Greg Sidders / Sunday, 07-05-15

Every life is a story, and right now you are writing a chapter in yours. 

Whatever title you might give this chapter, I'm sure you, like me, want to live it in such a way that you will be able to remember it with gratification rather than regret. Have you thought about what choices you must make, and what character traits you must develop, to do that?

In this message we will watch a follower of Jesus evaluate a previous chapter in his life, and my goal is to help you make this chapter of your life one that will put a smile on your face (and God's) when, years from now, you look back on it.
