Sermons on Acts
In the Gospel of Luke, the concept of the kingdom of God is discussed in various stages—both in the future tense as well as the present. When Jesus said that “the kingdom of God is in the midst of you” (17:21), He was referring to His presence and all that His life would bring. This…
Think for a moment about some of the people in your life that you would consider a spiritual giant. Who are some of the people who had an impact on you in a positive way in your walk with the Lord? I want you to pick two from your list that stand above them all,…
We are excited to welcome back Derrick and Michelle Bremer to Temple Rogers! Derrick spent several years as a member of our youth group when he was teenager. After Derrick and Michelle married, they reconnected with the church through a young-adult Christmas gathering. Through a series of inductive Bible studies with this young-adult group, Michelle…
In Acts 13:22, the Bible describes David as a man after God’s own heart—a man who was obedient to God’s will. Think about that for a minute… What do we know about King David and how he lived his life? There are many positive attributes and exploits that we could list here, but for just…
After getting to the point where we know and understand our God-given personalities, there is a danger that we must guard against. The danger exists when we come to the fatalistic conclusion of: “That’s just who I am!” Instead of using personality test results as a tool, we sometimes view them as an infallible declaration…
As we continue our series today—Behold the Lamb of God—we’re going to be looking at one section of prophecy in the Book of Isaiah concerning the coming king of Israel. But this king that Isaiah prophesied about was not a king “full of power with a sword in his fist,” he was a king that…
Perhaps nothing is more vital to our participation in God’s plan to grow His kingdom than our calling to be His witnesses. As we examine in Acts 1 the last words that Jesus gave to His followers before He ascended to the Father, we see that it clearly shows His purpose for leaving us in…
As we continue to look at the various ways in which God calls believers to walk in the fullness of all He desires for His church, we begin to shift our focus from the internal community of the body to the broader community in which we live. How has God called us to interact with those who are “on the outside”? Or in other words, How has God called us to engage our community? Pastor David shares God’s purpose and plan for engaging our community.
In light of all this, we want to see that the position we hold in Christ and our membership in His body (this local church) is not something that we should treat casually. We all have casual friendships with others but when it comes to our connections in the church, there should be a deeper…
Today we are continuing our sermon series “Therefore” in the book of Romans Chapter 12. In Verse 11, Paul encourages us to live with diligence, to live with a fervent spirit, to serve the Lord. Our call to diligence doesn’t mean we just need to go do any stuff. In reference to verse 11, this call on our lives is the consistent and persistent effort to pursue God’s will and fulfill our responsibilities with a right attitude. We are going to explore how we can achieve that in our personal spiritual walk, in serving others, and sharing the Gospel.
