Gospel City Church

Acts 14:1-18 // The Troublemaking Gospel

After being expelled from Pisidian Antioch, Paul and Barnabas head into the countryside and preach the Gospel in the provincial town of Lystra. After healing a lame man, the city responds by declaring them to be gods! We'll learn the Gospel always creates division, and we'll see how godly men respond to unhealthy amounts of praise and adoration.

Acts 13.42-52 // Continue in the Grace of God

Paul encourages those who converted to Christianity following his sermon to “continue in the grace of God.” We’ll examine what that means, what it looks like in the life of the believer, and how it proves our salvation.

Acts 13:13-41 // Paul Preaches in Pisidian Antioch

Paul powerfully preaches the Gospel to an audience of Jews and Gentile seekers in a synagogue in Pisidian Antioch.

Acts 13:4-12 // A Clash of Kingdoms

Paul and Barnabas set out with John Mark on their first missionary journey after being sent out from the Church in Antioch. They head to Cyprus, where thousands turn to follow Jesus and they end up in a discussion about the Gospel with the Roman governor of the island. However, there is a Rasputin-like figure lurking in the proconsul’s court who opposes the message of Paul, resulting in a clash between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.

Acts 13.1-3 // The Secret to Effective Ministry

As God calls Paul and Barnabas to be missionaries, we gain insight into how and when God speaks, and learn how every believer can find the power to effectively minister to those the Lord has placed in their life.

Acts 12.7-25 // Peter’s Miraculous Prison Break

As Peter sleeps in prison, scheduled to be executed the following day, he is visited by an angel who miraculously escorts him to safety. We’ll talk more about guardian angels, giving glory to God, and the difficult question of why God works miracles for some but not for others.

Choice 8: Recycling Pain

In the last lesson of our series and the last choice, we’ll learn the “Y” in our R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y acrostic stands for “Yield.” It also stands for “You.” God wants you to yield to Him and allow Him to recycle the pain in your life for the benefit of others.
We’re going to answer two important questions in this message: “Why does God allow our pain?” And “How can we use our pain to help others?”
At the end of this message, Rachelle will share a bit of her story with us.

Choice 7: Maintaining Momentum

We’ve submitted, trusted, and committed. We’ve made room for God to make major changes in our life. But now, if we’re not careful, the dreaded R-word can creep into our life: Relapse.
If we don’t keep the positive momentum going, any one of us can relapse back into the old hurts, hang-ups, and habits that Jesus has been freeing us from. And this is what we’re going to be talking about in this message - how we can keep the momentum going so that we can experience more and more of the freedom God wants for us, instead of going back to where He saved us from.
At the end of this message, Randy will join us to share a bit of his testimony of how Jesus has been working on this process in his life.
