Gospel City Church

Acts 16:19-34 // Persecuted Because of Jesus

While Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke were sharing the gospel in Philippi, Paul cast an evil spirit out of a slave girl. Their reward for working such a powerful miracle in the name of Jesus? Intense persecution. In this message, we’ll look at what happened in Philippi and learn how persecution is inseparable from the Christian faith. 

Acts 16:6-18 // The Women of Philippi

Paul and his team take the Gospel into Europe for the first time starting with the city of Philippi, where they encounter two very different women - one a picture a freedom, the other a picture of slavery.

Acts 15:36-16:5 // Divided for the Greater Good

Paul and Barnabas have a heated disagreement, part ways, and head out on new journeys to visit the churches they had planted previously and preach the Gospel.

Acts 15:13-35 // The Jerusalem Council (Part 2)

The Apostle James settles the Jerusalem Council with a letter to the Antioch Church that calls Gentile Christians to cut all ties with pagan idolatry and sexual immorality and affirms their identity as full members of the Church.

Acts 15:1-12 // The Jerusalem Council (Part 1)

Paul, Barnabas, and some of the other brothers from Antioch journey to Jerusalem for the first apostolic council to answer the vital question, "What must a man do to be saved?"

Acts 14:19-28 // Through Trials

The crowd in Lystra goes from hailing Paul as a god one day to trying to stone him to death the next. We’ll look at what causes such dramatic changes in people’s attitudes toward the Gospel, and why it is God’s plan that we go through trials in this life.

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.
