Acts 2 Life

It is important to know your audience, to know the temperature of a room, and to know the direction of the local congregation. In this episode, we will discuss some of the factors and signs that one can observe to know the direction of his/her church.

The 'showdown' upon Mt. Carmel is no doubt one of the most known stories interwoven within Christianity. It is where one man brings a whole nation down on its knees before God in the face of great opposition. In this episode, we will dive into the story and how empty hands and empty hearts get the attention of God.

Imagine a world without music. How would it be different? Would our church services be different if we sang different songs, used different lyrics, or got rid of music altogether? In this episode, we will discuss the power of music and how the influence of the minister of music affects churches.

What does it mean to be 'Pentecostal?' We preach about it, we sing about it, we talk about it, and we put it all over the media but what is it? Can it be more than a church history wall, a book of Acts story, a favorite song, or recollections of ministers? Being defined as Pentecostal means...

While we are continuing the Church Structure series, this is the third and final portion of choosing the right people, specifically the contributor. Following the priority of character and calling, the contributor is diving into the personality of the people. Although it has the lowest priority on our list, it is still vital when dealing with people and leading them to where they need to go in the kingdom.

We are continuing the series of Church Structure when choosing the right people with a focus on the personal callings of the people. We first spoke on the character of the person but this episode will focus on the calling and giftings.

Part 3 of the series of Church Structure: Choosing the right people for leadership roles, specifically in this episode, the character of a leader. We will touch base with biblical requirements, old testament example, who the armor bearer is, and overcoming the vision challenge.

In this episode, we will discuss the importance of growing ourselves in whatever area of ministry we are in. There shouldn't be unhealthy competition amongst God's people but when we do find people "better" than us, we should unite with them.

The awareness of someone "better" is not a season for bitterness but an opportunity for us to become better with them.

Continuing our discussion about church structure- how it is vital to the effectiveness of God's people in these End Times.

Since the beginning of time, God has moved upon creation by His Spirit and within the boundaries He has set. Structure is the wall that the art of life hangs upon and without that structure, nothing exists.

In this episode, we will introduce the topic of church structure upon which God's Spirit has the liberty to work through.

The word "standard" or "standards" within the church-world context has put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths over the years. Perhaps some examples were perfectly in line with scripture while others confused personal convictions with a Bible-based standard. In this episode, the goal is to cover the four categories of "standards" and how we can put them in the right placement for the growth of our relationship with God, staying under the spiritual authority of our pastor, and keeping unity with brethren.

Offenses, hurts, and pains will come into our lives but what do we do afterwards? Do we allow the bee to stay in the car and make us miss out in our destination? Or, will we get the bee out of the car, stay focused on the task at hand, and step into our promises?

We have stated that our children "are the church of tomorrow" but they are actually the church of today. The church cannot afford to wait till tomorrow to utilize and propel the youth that sits on our pews, attend our classes, and sleep in our homes.
