A Fruitful ChurchActs 6:1-7September 9, 2018Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 6:1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. [2] And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. [3] Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. [4] But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” [5] And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. [6] These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. [7] And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of th

Spiritual Leaders and Saints are Given (11-12)IV. How Church Unity and Growth Happen (13-16) Ephesians 4:7–167 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that

We Must Obey God Rather Than Man Acts 5:17-42 August 26, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 5:17-42  But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy  [18]  they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison.  [19]  But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,  [20]  "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life."  [21]  And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.  [22]  But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,  [23]  "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside."  [24]  Now when the captain of th

The Apostles of Jesus Christ Acts 5:12-16 August 19, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 5:12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. [13] None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. [14] And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, [15] so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. [16] The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed. What were the “signs and wonders” of Apostolic times? What is an Apostle in the New Testament? What place do these have today?

The Power of Church Unity Acts 4:32-5:11 August 12, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- John 17:20-22a “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, [21] that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. [22] The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one… Acts 4:32-5:11 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. [33] And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. [34] There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold [35] and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. [36

Prayer, Unity, The Word, and Boldness Acts 4:23-32 July 29, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 4:23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. [24] And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, [25] who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,              “‘Why did the Gentiles rage,                         and the peoples plot in vain?             [26] The kings of the earth set themselves,                         and the rulers were gathered together,                         against the Lord and against his Anointed’— [27] for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, [28] to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take p

We Cannot But Speak Acts 4:1-22 July 22, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 4:1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand. 5 On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem, 6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has

Paving the Way for the Word Acts 3:1-26 July 15, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. [2] And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. [3] Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. [4] And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” [5] And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. [6] But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” [7] And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. [8] And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. [9] And all the people saw him walking and praising God, [1

Eager to Maintain the Unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-7)Pastor Nathan CurreyJuly 8, 2018 ----more---- God creates unity in his church by the gospel of grace and he calls us to eagerly maintain unity by that same grace.I. Consider Your Calling (1)II. Walking Worthy (2-3)III. 'Ones' of Oneness (4-6)IV. Grace Given (7) Ephesians 4:1–74:1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Unity Requires Pursuing and Restoring Sinners (Matthew 18:15-20, Galatians 6:1-2)Pastor Nathan CurreyMay 27, 2018 ----more----Pursuing and restoring sinners is the heartbeat of God towards his children. To promote and protect unity in the church we must understand what Scripture teaches about what we call church discipline.I. Why?II. When?III. How?IV. To what end? Matthew 18:15–2015 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth a

A Spirit-Filled Church Acts 2:42-47 June 17, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 2:42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. [43] And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. [44] And all who believed were together and had all things in common. [45] And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. [46] And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, [47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. What does a Spirit-Filled Church look like? Hungry for the means of grace (42-43) Loving and gracious toward one another (44-45) Joyful in worship and fellowship (46-47a) Evangelistic in practice (47b)

Cut to the Heart Acts 2:36-41 June 10, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 2:36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” [37] Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” [38] And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [39] For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” [40] And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” [41] So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. The right message (the Gospel) cuts to the heart and is used by God to grow His Kingdom. The right message (36) T

A Model for Christ-Centered Preaching Acts 2:14-36 June 3, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 2:14  But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. [15] For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.    [16] But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: [17] “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,             that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,             and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,                         and your young men shall see visions,                         and your old men shall dream dreams;             [18] even on my male servants and female servants             in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.             [19] And I will show wonders in the heavens above                         and signs on the earth below,                         blood,

Like a Mighty Rushing Wind Acts 2:1-13 May 13, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. [2] And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. [3] And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. [5] Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. [6] And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. [7] And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? [8] And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? [9] Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, [10] Phrygia and Pamp

Expectant Preparation Acts 1:12-26 May 6, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. [13] And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. [14] All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. [15] In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, [16] “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. [17] For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” [18] (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedne

Unity Requires Judging Justly (Matthew 7:1-5)Pastor Nathan CurreyApril 22, 2018 ----more----I. What kind of judging is Jesus talking about?II. How does our own sin blind us?III. How do we tell what’s a log and what’s a speck?IV. What to do about a log or a speck? Matthew 7:1–57:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Witnesses for Christ - Intro to Acts Acts 1:1-11 April 15, 2018 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Acts 1:1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, [2] until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. [3] He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. [4] And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; [5] for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” [6] So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [7] He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. [8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upo
