Highs and Lows

August 8, 2021 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 9 of 11 in the Ready, Set, Grow! 2021

DIGITAL BULLETIN 08 August 2021

Week 10 – Ready, Set, Grow!

“Ready, Set, Grow! is a new series starting in June and going through Summer. We will study the growth moments in Acts.

In this message, you will learn how God advances His Gospel and grows His church through the highs and lows of serving Him.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2 Corinthains 4:8-9 (ESV)
WORSHIP BY GIVING

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 (ESV)

Highs and Lows

| Acts 14:1-28 | Galatians 4:13, 15 |

Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. 5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, 6 they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, 7 and there they continued to preach the gospel.

Acts 14:1-7 (ESV)
  1. The People Divided
  2. The People Misunderstand
  3. The People Attack
  4. The Church Grows

When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

Acts 14:21-22
