Passage: Acts 13:1-14:28 Our passage this morning is lengthy and takes us through Paul’s first missionary journey with Barnabas. When Paul was converted back in Chapter 9, Jesus said, “I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” These two chapters demonstrate just how true those words were. The […]
Passage: Acts 12:1-25 This morning, we return to our sermon series in the exciting book of Acts. In today’s passage, we see the church under severe persecution, including the first apostolic martyr. But God remains at work, protecting His church so that the gospel goes forth and His glory is declared. In the midst of […]
Passage: Acts 11:19-30 Now that the Gentiles have had their Pentecost, the gospel continues to powerfully move outward from Jerusalem. This morning’s passage serves as a transition in Acts, both in terms of location and main characters, as God continues to push His people beyond their comfort zones.
Passage: Acts 10:1-11:18 We have taken note of two especially important events in the book of Acts: Pentecost and the conversion of Saul.

And praise God, the […]
Passage: Acts 9:1-31 The remarkable conversion of Saul (soon to be the apostle, Paul) is one of the most significant events in the book of Acts and in all of church history.

Passage: Acts 8:26-40 As the church in Acts continues to grow by leaps and bounds, we can begin to assume that the only way God works among faithful believers is to bring massive revival-like responses to the gospel. But this morning’s passage shows just to what extent God cares deeply for a single soul.
Passage: Acts 8:1-25 On the heels of Stephen’s martyrdom, significant persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem. The response of the disciples was not to hunker down and look for cover but to boldly go out and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. As we will see, nothing can stop the progress of […]
Passage: Acts 6:8-8:4 The account of Stephen’s martyrdom is well-known to most Christians who have been in church for any time. But what does his death have to do with us nearly 2000 years later? We will look at this account so that we can understand just how important it is for us today to […]
Passage: Acts 6:1-7 Rick Hackett is bringing the message from God’s Word to us this morning. Today’s passage shows a pattern that God has established for growing and building healthy churches. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the early church followed this pattern. When this pattern is overlaid onto Mayer Community Church, how do […]
Passage: Acts 5:12-42 Scripture is clear: faithfulness will often result in persecution. It happened to the apostles in the first-century church and it is happening today. There is no question that we are called to obey God above any human authority. We also know that such obedience will not always be easy. When confronted by […]
