The Versatile Gospel | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 16:11-34

One of the more compelling traits of the Christian faith is the fact that it is not locked into one culture or people group. A remarkable diversity is seen in Acts 16 of Philippian converts. Yet, through it all, the Gospel remains the same message of the Cross.

Sermon Points:

  • Lydia
  • Slave Girl
  • Jailer

What To Do When We Don’t Agree | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 15:1-2; 6-11; 13-20

From the very beginning of Jesus’ church, full acknowledgement of the difficulty of “getting alone” has been owned. In Acts 15, we get a map of how to hold the church together unity when controversy and disagreement rises up and threatens to divide the church.

Sermon Points:

  • Don’t Compromise On The Gospel
  • Compromise Wherever You Can
  • Stay Connected To Jesus’ Church

Bringing Down Walls | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 10:9-16, 34-48

The action in the book of Acts leads to a dramatic vision by Peter who begins to see that Jesus’ mission in the world will not be limited to a Jewish revolution. Instead, he is creating a worldwide, multi cultural, multi racial people of God worshipping around the Throne.

Sermon Points:

  • Peter’s Conversion
  • Cornelius’ Conversion
  • Our Conversion

An Important Conversion | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 9:1-19

The story of Saul (soon to become named “Paul”) is repeated no less than three times in the book of Acts. Clearly, Luke wants Christians to relate this powerful conversion. But how can we do that when we rarely see so many fireworks surrounding our own experiences?

Sermon Points:

  • A Preparing God
  • A Vision of Jesus
  • An Entrance into a Community
  • An Newfound Mission
