Welcome to the new year of 2009! With the beginning of a new year is the beginning of a few new changes for 2.22. We had our first fellowship of the year on our new Thursday night venue. We're still meeting at 6:30pm with a 30 minute meal/fellowship time, however we will no longer have planned meals each week. You may still bring something on your own and use this time to eat & visit with others. We're now meeting up in the Student Ministries room.Pastor Jeff jumped back into our ongoing study of the book of Acts entitled "The Original Revolution" (TOR) and looked at the immediate actions of Paul & the church after his radical conversion. We were challenged to pursue Christ with the same passion many of us had immediately after our own conversions.
Below you'll find Jeff's outline and the mp3 audio from his message. You can find all the previous TOR messages here.
“Immediate Action” (Acts 9:19-31)
In these verses we'll see 4 immediate actions of the early church, triggered by the Gospel. Is the Gospel triggering action in your walk?
1. Paul immediately preached in Damascus (vv. 20-25)
2. Paul was immediately protected by the disciples (vv. 23-25)
3. Paul was immediately promoted by Barnabas (vv. 26-27)
4. Paul immediately preached in Jerusalem (vv. 28-31)
Take-Home Points:
1. Why preach – when and where?
2. Why does our Gospel fire cool in our hearts so quickly?
3. Are you being strategic with your life?
4. Are you being controlled by fear?
