Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 6, 2022.
In Acts 4:34-5:15, we have two contrasting stories. For Barnabas, the gospel had loosened his grip on his stuff and tightened his grip on others. But in Chapter 5, we are introduced to a couple who are not filled with the Spirit like Barnabas but instead are filled with Satan.
This week we’ve got pastor Adam Gibson on the pod to talk more about formation and how to feed the Spirit.

Sermon by Adam Gibson on February 27, 2022.
Historians and scholars are fascinated by the fact that a small sect of Jewish men and women, without clout, power, prestige, education, money or influence somehow began a movement that has swept the globe. Here in Acts 4 we get insight into the sort of people the early Christians were.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 20, 2022.
In Acts 4 we see Peter’s confidence as he shares Jesus with the religious rulers. And yet, in the Gospels, this is not the Peter we see - he’s brash and even denies Jesus. So what happened to Peter to go from denying Jesus to proclaiming him?

Sermon by Jake Blair on February 13, 2022.
This is the first post-Jesus miracle in the book of Acts.Some scholars say that if you understand this miracle, in a way, you understand them all. This miracle shows you how God feels about suffering in the world, what he’s doing about it, and what he’s saying to us in that suffering; and it shows us, as the church, what our mission is in the world.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 6, 2022.
The first fruit we see of the Spirit’s work after salvation may not be what you think. When it comes to the early part of Acts and what the Spirit does, some immediately think about the more “miraculous” works of the Spirit. But in Acts 2 we see the first thing the Spirit does is He makes a family. Where love for the family of God is not present, neither is the Spirit of God.
We’re back! This week we’re here with our FIRST-TIME GUEST, Music Minister at Midtown Two Notch, Catherine Failoni.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 30, 2022.
What happened at Pentecost and what that tells us about what the Spirit does and will do in the church. Namely, works - and specifically words (i.e. the message of the gospel) - that bring life and freedom. This Spirit has been poured out on “all flesh.” And, if you are in Christ, this same Spirit lives in you and empowers this same ministry through you.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 23, 2022.
In Jesus’ parting words to His disciples, He doesn’t tell them to get out there, He tells them to wait… to wait on the Spirit. It’s as though the Spirit is the essential ingredient to everything He’s sending them out to do and be.
And the truth is, that it is still true today. In this sermon, we’ll learn that the church has not moved beyond the need for the Holy Spirit.
