Living as Resurrection People | Acts 12
If Acts 11 (the passage we looked at last week) is a story of the advancing of the kingdom of God, Acts 12 is about the opposition. This morning we looked at Peter's miraculous escape from prison, the death of James, and how, in al things, God is sovereign.
Living as Resurrection People | Acts 11:19-30
This morning, as we continued in our series in Acts, we looked at the beginnings of the church in Antioch and the lessons we can learn from it as a model church for today.
Living as Resurrection People | Acts 10
Continuing in our series in Acts, we looked at the story of the God working in the lives of both Peter and Cornelius in a moment that shaped that the course of the church as the message of Jesus Christ made its way to the Gentiles.
Living as Resurrection People | Acts 9:32-43
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you believe in miracles. That's the message we considered when looking at the miracle from today's passage in Acts 9:32-43, the resurrection of Tabitha, as well as a parallel story from Mark 5:21-43. Both miracles follow the example of Jesus, demonstrate the power of Jesus, display signs of the salvation of Jesus and resound to the glory of Jesus.
Living as Resurrection People | Acts 9:1-31
This morning (10th September), we returned to our series in Acts, Living as a Resurrection People. Looking at the story of Saul's conversion we spent time dwelling on reconciliation with God, with the Church and with those who don't follow Christ.
Care for the flock | Acts 20:17-38
It was our joy on Sunday to prayerfully induct Andrew Elder into the eldership here at Village Church. We used this opportunity to pick up our series in Acts again, but jump ahead a few chapters to read Paul's instructions to the Ephesian elders.
Hallmarks of a Distinctively Christian Community
