Acts 7:8 The Final Covenant Part 1 – the New Jerusalem
Pastor Brett Peterson
From the very beginning, God created mankind to walk with Him. Sin broke that fellowship, but sin did not change God’s purpose. From Genesis to Revelation, God continually reaches down to mankind, revealing Himself, making promises, establishing covenants, providing a way of redemption, and progressively revealing His plan. The eight covenants Adamic – Walk with […]
Acts Ch 7 vs 8 part 2 The Torch/Light and Jesus
Over the past two weeks we’ve seen that every covenant God has made is still active in exactly the way He intended, and every one of them points us to Jesus Christ. Today we’re going to continue to dig a little deeper on the Abrahamic covenant. In Genesis 15, Abraham never walks between the sacrificed […]
Acts 7:8 Covenants – Jesus was there for all of them!
Pastor Brett Peterson
Jesus and God the Father were there when they made covenant with Abram, and Jesus became the guarantor of the old and new covenants! Deep stuff today as we talk about the first six covenants God made with mankind. And God never breaks His promises or covenants!! This morning we’re going to step back and […]
Acts 7:1-7 God does not Change!
Pastor Brett Peterson
When people think about the God of the Old Testament, they often imagine a God who is quick to judge and eager to punish. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The very first words God uses to describe Himself are that He is “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness […]
Acts 6:8-15 Filled With The Spirit
Pastor Brett Peterson
In these last days we need to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit! When life squeezes us, whatever fills us is what comes out. If we’re filled with fear, fear will come out. If we’re filled with anger, anger will come out. If we’re filled with pride, pride will come out. But if we’re […]
America at 250 – Was America a Christian Nation?
Pastor Brett Peterson
Today I don’t want to simply talk about American history. I want to talk about America’s soul, and answer the question once and for all – was America born a Christian nation? Because while governments rise and fall, there is one truth that never changes: true freedom is never ultimately found in a constitution, a […]
Acts Ch 6 vs 1 to 7 The First Deacons
Pastor Brett Peterson
Up to this point, the Church has experienced explosive growth. Thousands have come to faith. Miracles are happening daily. The apostles have stood courageously against persecution. Everything seems to be moving from one victory to another. Then suddenly… “…a complaint arose…” It is the first internal crisis in the history of the Church. And, to […]
Acts 5 Miracles, Multitudes, and Magistrates
Pastor Brett Peterson
Have you ever noticed that whenever God begins to move powerfully, opposition is never far behind? Throughout history, every great work of God has encountered resistance. And in our text today, all the apostles will be arrested! But an angel let them out and they kept on preaching!
Acts 3:32-5:11 The Fear of God
Pastor Brett Peterson
When was the last time you heard a sermon on the fear of God? Not fear of circumstances. Not fear of the future. Not fear of judgment. The fear of God? For many Christians, the subject feels uncomfortable because we have become accustomed to hearing only about God’s love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Those truths […]
