Acts: Church On Fire | Part IV
CURRENT SERMON SERIES
The Book of Acts is the true story of the mission of the early church: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). It remains the mission of the church today. And as we study the faith, courage, obstacles, and success of the early church, we simultaneously pray, “Do it again, Jesus!”. May we be the Church on Fire!

Acts: Church On Fire | Part 4: Communicating the Gospel in our Secular Age | Chilliwack Campus
Scripture: Acts 17: 16-34Speaker: Pastor Matt Shantz
Athens was the intellectual capitol of the world and Paul went to the local synagogue, the marketplace, and the famous Areopagus to tell people about Jesus. How he went about doing that among people who viewed the world differently, worshiped idols, and had no reference for Jesus and the Bible is instructive for us today as missionaries in our spiritual yet secular post-Christian culture.

Acts: Church On Fire | Part 4: Developing A Missionary Mindset | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses
Acts 17:16-34
Paul is perhaps the greatest Christian missionary that has ever lived. Paul’s address to the Athenians on the Areopagus is the finest NT example of a Gentile geared evangelistic sermon. Paul knew his context and addressed the people in a way they could relate and understood. In Acts 17:16-34 we learn a few important truths about evangelism from the life of Paul, his address and the response he received.

Acts: Church On Fire | Part 4: Proclaiming Christ In A Secular Culture | Agassiz

Acts 17:16-34
Jesus sent his disciples to the ends of the earth and that means we need to be able to communicate the gospel with people all over the globe. Paul gives us an excellent example of how to continually do this kind of evangelism, making sure to communicate the gospel clearly while trusting that God is the one doing the work.

Acts: Church On Fire | Part 4: Habits of a Healthy Church | Promontory Campus
Acts 17:1-15
What are the habits that we have planned into our lives this fall? As we look back into the book of Acts we see two habits that formed the early church, the habit of evangelism and the habit bible reading. These two habits have been part of the foundations of the church since the very beginning and we have the privilege and joy of participating in them as well.

Acts: Church On Fire | Part 4: A Handbook For Gospel Ministry | Chilliwack Campus
Scripture: Acts 17: 1-15
A pattern is emerging in Paul’s missionary process: Go to a city, teach the Bible, preach the gospel, plant a church, and be violently rejected. That’s exactly what happens in Thessalonica and Berea. We learn a great deal about gospel ministry from this text, including: We should establish connections with people; expound the Bible for people, and expect polarizing responses from people.

Missions Sunday: Inside Out | Promontory Campus
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
A look at a newly birthed church that takes what they have come to believe within their hearts and mind and radically lives it out amidst persecution and suffering. The Thessalonian church is a convicting witness on how we are to allow what is within us become embodied outside of us.
