Shine Like Stars (Mission 2a) Acts 16
Church isn’t always easy. And for some, it’s downright difficult. So how does a church that stared with a businesswoman, a slave girl, and a Roman jailer go on to shine like a star in the sky? Acts 16 tells us how – and gives our own churches some help along the way.
Saved By Grace (Acts 15:1-35)
If God’s grace is a free gift then why does it feel as if the church places terms and conditions on it?
Worthless Things (Mission 1: Acts 13-14)

And he shows us that our helplessness is often the place where the gospel can do its […]
Should we Expect God to do the Miraculous?
We’ve been working our way through the Book of Acts and it’s hard to ignore all the miraculous activity we see God doing in the early church. It makes you wonder whether or not God is still active in the church in the same way. What should we make of all these signs and wonders? […]
