Ep 1Acts: Culture Clash
Sermon Summary: Stephen responded to the accusations that he was being blasphemous by stating that it was actually they who were missing God. His counter point is that their age-old, stiff-necked nature was resisting the Holy Spirit and thereby distorting the message of Jesus to seem blasphemous rather than the fulfilment of all they'd longed for. This caused a culture clash between the religious system and God's kingdom. We too miss the fulfilling nature of following Jesus due to our own resistance of the Holy Spirit. Our religious system elevates ourselves as god, and Jesus becomes a threat to that Kingdom. As we invite the Holy Spirit to remove our pride we see Jesus' message as fulfillment rather than blasphemy towards our gods of self. READ.

Reading: Acts 5:12-42 Sermon Summary There are two responses to the Christian message. In Acts 2:37 the people were cut to the heart and surrendered to Jesus as Lord; but those who were cut to the heart in Acts 5:33 wanted to kill Jesus! The difference between the two is determined by who we think is to blame for life’s problems: us or God.

They gave because they wanted to return to Jesus what they knew was truly his and the church in turn used these funds to continue the work of the ministry Jesus called his church to. Money was put at the apostles feet because giving to Christ of what he's given to you in an exercise in releasing control of your own kingdom where you are the owner of your possessions. Giving is a celebration of your freedom from your kingdom of sin and self and helps us hail Christ as king in areas that are tempting to remain in control of. " READ.
