Sermon 7/10/2011 - Acts 16:22-34 - "The Spirit and Prayer"

We serve a God of the impossible situation.  It's a good thing, too, because we're in an impossible situation.  As individuals, we can do nothing to overcome for ourselves sin and death.  God stepped in.  He is the God of the resurrection.  As a body, our little church is in an impossible situation.  How are we going to grow.  If we don't grow, we will die.  But the motivation cannot be survival.  It can only be love - love for God and for our neighborhood.  We'll get together during the week this summer to talk with God and each other and ask for a mission to our neighbors.

Sermon 6-16-2011 - Dance with the Spirit - Acts 2

Pentecost (a week late).  This is the introduction to a series on living life in step with the Spirit.  We are witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and empowered with the words to tell.

The Spirit and Love - 6/26/2011 - Acts 2:42-47

The second in a series on living life in the Spirit - as individuals and as a church.  The first, foundational thing is to know God's love, be transformed by it, in awe of it, and so filled with it that it reflects back with God and our neighbor.  At the end of Acts 2, the disciples are filled with awe at all God has done.  We still are.  It's the beginning of everything.
