In Acts 10v1-11v18, Mike walked through a key moment on the history of Christianity.  Until this point, the Church was Jewish; an offshoot of Judaism.  But God came to an Italian Centurion named Cornelius in a vision. He came to Peter in a vision. And He came as the Holy Spirit to the Cornelius’ household. And things changed.  Christianity is not just for the Jews.  Because God, the son, Jesus came to earth, ministered, was crucified and resurrected, the whole world is welcome.   God came.   “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.” (Acts 11:18 ESV)  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley

3 people, 2 towns, 1 question Are you convinced? Are you convinced that you need Him in your sickness, that you want Him in your sickness and that He can heal you?  Are you convinced that His is with you and having handed you authority, through you is ready move in people’s lives as if He was here on earth himself?  Will you raise people? Are you convinced that we could be such a Church, that as a Church we could be so unflinchingly convinced of the power of Christ that we would put aside culture at the risk of ridicule and shame, waiting to see Him move?  Can we rise as a church? Can we raise people as a church? Are you convinced? Listen as Audrey speaks from  Acts 9 32-43  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley 

Saul sets out to Damascus on a mission. And then Jesus meets him and he is changed.  He is still Saul, but from that point he is God’s and his mission becomes for God, for His church and for the Gospel. Mike brings us the next message from our “Apostolic People” series, speaking from Acts 9 1-31  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley

We’re in  Acts 6v1-7 with Joe.  A pivotal moment for the spreading, multicultural Church.  And a great demonstration of what it means to be an Apostolic People. = Healthy Churches - a culture of care and good relationships = Safeguard the Doctrine and Values = Life in the Spirit = Regions Beyond, Pioneering and Planting = Care for the Poor – those with various needs  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley

As Audrey shows us from Acts 5v12-42, Jesus sets us free.  And we are free!  This freedom was prophesied. We have freedom to obey Christ.  And we have the freedom to obey Christ at any cost. And there is a cost.  There was a cost for the Church as we read in Acts; and there is cost to the Church today. But there is Freedom and that Freedom is in Christ. Audrey’s slides are available here  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email: [email protected] Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley 

This week we are with Mike in Acts 3v1-4v22. How did Peter get from the lovable bumbler we saw in Mark to this sage, courageous force for God and the Gospel? We see the answer in Acts 4 8, Peter was “filled with the Holy Spirit”. He knew Jesus. He knew that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” It’s not about us. It’s about the Power of God given for and to us. Do you know Him?  Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email: [email protected] Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley
