Pentecost. The Gift is given! MP3


The festival of Pentecost (formally known as the Feast of Weeks) brought God fearing people from all around the known world to Jerusalem, a perfect opportunity for God to do something incredible before them, & that's exactly what happened!
In God's perfect timing, he sent His Holy Spirit to empower Jesus' disciples so they could be His witnesses (ACTS 1:8) in Judea, Samaria, in fact, everywhere around the world!
What an incredible experience they shared that day as the Holy Spirit came upon them!
The wonderful news is that everyone who puts their trust in & believes on the name of Jesus receives this awesome gift of God, the Holy Spirit, so that we also can be His witnesses!
Listen along to "The Gift is given!"

Making Godly decisions. MP3


Everyday each of us has to make heaps of decisions don't we?
Some of them are small & trivial, while others are a lot bigger & bring with them huge ramifications!
Every decision we make can go in different ways. Basically we need help!
So how do we make the right decisions, how do we make godly decisions?
Well, as we take a look at the early church in the book of ACTS we find the answer!
In ACTS chapter 1 the followers of Jesus were faced with a situation that needed to be resolved. Judas, (the one who had betrayed Jesus) was dead & his position needed to be filled.
How would they make this decision? Who would they chose?
Listen along as we see from God's word "How to make Godly decisions."

ACTS The beginning of the church! MP3


As we start a series on the book of ACTS, a truly exciting book, we see in the very 1st few verses, a number of things.
We see the ascension of Jesus, (His rising back into heaven) we see the promise to the disciples of the Holy Spirit, we see the challenge they face to understand & obey, & we see reminders for us, in the church today.
What a great book ACTS is!
I hope you can follow along with us as we work through it to see all that God was doing in the early church, & what He still desires to do in our time as well!
