Acts #34 - Digging Into The Mission In Acts 18

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 18:1-23. Here, we're back onto the mission - more Jesus (in my life and in the lives of others). Acts 18 gives us four more principles of how we can faithfully engage in the work of the mission as believers.

How To Share Your Faith

This is Marius Goguen bringing us a practical tutorial of how to share our faith in Jesus with others. Yes, if you're a Christian, this is something you need to know how to do, AND something you need to be doing!!

Acts #33 - More Missional Marks From Acts 17

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 17:16-34. This is another text all about the mission (more Jesus in my life and in the lives of those around me). Here, we cover six more practical points that help us engage in the mission more effectively!

Acts #32 - Receiving Jesus & Resisting Jesus

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 17:1-15. This section of scripture demonstrates that when Jesus is revealed - by the Gospel being preached, by a miracle taking place, by God's Word being read, etc. - there are only two possible responses: we can either receive him or resist him. One choice leads to life and fruitfulness; the other causes us to drag our heels, waste time, and miss out on all that God has for us.

Acts #31 - Real Talk on Christians and Government

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 16:35-40. This text is an account of the apostle Paul and his dealings with the local government in Philippi, who had mistreated him and failed to follow their own governmental policies.

This opens up a whole can of worms for Christians and how we are supposed to view and act toward the governments of our day. This one is spicy, so grab a drink and take it all in!

Acts #30 - A Little Bit of Everything From Acts 16

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 16:19-34. This text contains several different principles for us as we seek to engage in the mission we have been given, which is MORE JESUS - in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

Acts #29 - A Crash Course on the Demonic

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 16:16-18 - a text all about an encounter Paul and Silas had with the demonic. This opens a whole door for us - what's the deal with the demonic? What are demons? How do they operate? What objectives are they trying to achieve? What can we as Christians do about them?

This message is not an exhaustive, "here's everything you could ever possibly learn about the demonic" - it's a crash course to get you started!

Acts #28 - 4 Principles for the Pursuit of the Mission

All Christians have a mission - more Jesus. More Jesus in my life, and more Jesus in the lives of the people God has placed in my sphere of influence. This mission requires intentionality and hard work, but is SO worth it.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 15:41-16:15. This text contains four principles that pertain to our pursuit of the mission God has given us.

Acts #27 - Messy Moments and Mighty Works

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 15:36-40, which recounts the (bumpy) beginning to Paul's second missionary journey. Here, a mess emerges that threatens to derail ministry, but God shows up and covers it by his grace.

We're called to be missionaries and ministers for Jesus as well, and in the same fashion, he can use us in spite of our messes.

Acts #26 - 3 Principles For A Healthy Church in Acts 15

The book of Acts weaves back and forth between the spread of the Gospel and the life of the Church, and there are principles about both things all through the book. Why? Because the two are closely tied together. If the Church is healthy, the Gospel will sound forth from it, and when the Gospel is being spread, it helps and strengthens the Church.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 15:1-35, which is a text all about the church. Here, we see 3 principles that the Church needs to abide by in order to flourish.
