What does your belief look like?


Message: The Acts of the Holy Spirit thru the apostles

Text: Acts 28:24-31

Some believe, some will not

Some will not: 

There is no true foundation of hope for you, in this life or in the life/death to come. No other religion or non-religion on earth has any kind of     allowance or true remedy for sin, our ultimate problem. All others are man reaching up to God, only Christianity is God reaching down to man—Jesus!

In Jesus, there's a bridge to cross the great divide.

In Jesus, there's a cross to bridge the great divide.

I Believe:

 More than a mental assent to who Jesus is, but a receiving of the Holy Spirit thru who Jesus is and what He finished on the cross. A complete   repentance—a complete change of heart and soul that completely saves your soul, in this life and in the life to come.

The importance of prayer.

Message: The Acts of the Holy Spirit thru the apostles

Text: Acts 28:7-10

 Observation: the only healing in Acts where prayer is accompanied by laying on of hands...personal touch. Other healings: speaking, praying, handkerchiefs/aprons, staring intently

 No amount of social media will ever replace the personal touch, or the ministry of presence (being there)

 There are 2 people involved:

The pray-er and the pray-ee

Ron Hutchcraft,  "It is quite possible that the person you are praying with has never heard their name mentioned in prayer in their entire life."

Why am I still here?

Message: The Acts of the Holy Spirit thru the apostles

Text: Acts 28:1-10

God isn’t finished with you yet. how do I know?  Because you’re reading this!

Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus
(Hebrews?)

2 Timothy 4:6-7  From the Mamertine Dungeon:

1) There is no victory without a fight!. Stop looking for “easy”

2) Staying the course assigned to you. Not laying down the baton but handing it off to someone else. Someone handed it to you, who will you hand it to?

3) Hanging on to faith. Our faith must be tested—we arrive at stronger faith by going thru the door of doubt.

Dr Franklin Dummond, “Faith stretched thin is thick enough.”

Why is what we are doing no longer working?

Message: “This kind…”
Text: Mark 9:28-29
(Mark 6:12-13, 9:23-24, 22,
James 5:16-18)

Practical solution to positive change:

“Definition of insanity:  Doing the same thing over and over, while expecting different results.”
But, trying harder to cast out demons, won’t cast out demons.

Spiritual solution to positive change:

~God is waiting on you—       James 5:16-18 Elijah’s prayer. Sometimes Job’s friends are right.

 ~You are waiting on God—      Mark 9:23-24 It is easy for others to give up on this demon possessed boy, but for some reason this father won’t. It is common for God to wait and allow you to exhaust all others alternatives
