Nick McCarty-Daniels's Sermons

After Felix is removed as Governor of Judea, Festus takes over and tries to start the whole process over. Paul has finally had enough and appeals to Caesar.

Paul's trial is set, and this kangaroo court is now in session. We know Paul still has to get to Rome, but meanwhile the Jerusalem leaders are trying to find some sort of charges that will stick. A look at Acts 24.

Paul is on his way to trail, but before we can get there we need to review the facts and see the case against him. Walks through Acts 23.

As he is being arrested, Paul turns to speak to the crowd in the Temple. Paul tells the people who he is, why they should listen to him, and then drops the bomb that even the Gentiles belong in the Kingdom of Heaven. Looks at most of Acts 22.

After weeks of traveling, Paul finally makes it home. But just like any family reunion, this one is filled with difficulty and hardships. Today, we look at the rumors traveling before Paul and how James and Paul are going to work together to fix something that should never have been a problem.

A special Easter Sunday where we look at Psalm 103 and ask ourselves if our praise has joined the choirs of angels. Nick was fighting a cold this week, so hopefully you can still understand him.

Acts 21:1-16, we see Paul ignore his friend's warnings and proceed into Jerusalem. Is Paul foolish, or courageous, and how can we know if we are acting courageously?

Paul's final warning to the leaders of Ephesus is to be on the lookout for danger. There is danger from without, and danger from within.

We continue following Paul on his last trip to Jerusalem. Paul is speaking to the elders of Ephesus, and today we see him warn them on the roles every mature Christian should maintain in their life.

We start Paul's message to the leaders of Ephesus. The last time Paul will speak to this group, he gives them a warning. We can all stand to learn from Paul's message about the foundations of why we are called to work. Acts 20:13-21

As Paul's traveling ministry comes to a close, we look at his "Bucket List" including the pieces that make a normal church service. Acts 20:1-12

A look at Acts 18: 24- 19: 20 where we see Luke's remarkable eye for detail and how the power of the Gospel changes everything.

Paul finds himself in the exceedingly wicked city of Corinth, with a special message from God, Paul continues to win souls for Christ.

A look at Paul's famous Sermon on Mar's Hill. What would you say to a group of people who knew nothing about God?

Paul's second missionary journey takes him to Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens, each with vastly different responses to the message of salvation. This message was delivered on both January 4th and January 11th.

Finishing Acts 16, we look at how God always uses the right tool for the job.

A look at Matthew's account of the nativity presents us with the same choices as the rest of the Bible. Do we follow the kings of this world, or do we follow the King of Heaven?

Finishing our look at Acts 15, we discuss what it looks like when brothers and sisters in Christ have problems that can't just be ignored.

With the council deciding that Christians are saved by grace and not by law, James must put his plan into action and make sure everyone's voice is heard.

Some time has passed, and the church finally needs to decide what to do about the Law of Moses. One correction, James's final thought is verse 19, not verse 18.

This week we start with Chapter 12 of Acts with verse 1-4, where we see three assurances from God.

This week we looked at what it means to work with new believers. By studying the actions of the Jerusalem church and our old friend Barnabas, we can see concrete examples of how to include new believers into the Family of God.

Today, we look at Acts 10:1-18. Peter's argument to the Jerusalem church of why we need to accept new believers.

This week we finish Acts 10 with a look at Peter's gospel message to the Gentiles, and the Holy Spirit's indwelling. This is a powerful moment that changes the course of history.

This week we continue our look at when the Holy Spirit came to the Gentiles. We see how Peter was still confused, but was willing to listen to God. We see the hopelessness of Cornelius, and we see what we can learn as a congregation.

This week we look at Acts 10:1-23, a very symbolic moment where God removes the dietary restrictions of the Old Testament as a teaching moment to show how Jews and Gentiles are both equal under God. The recording changes about halfway through. My recorder died during the service and I had to finish it at home.

On the way to open the Kingdom of Heaven for Gentiles, Peter performs two great miracles. We look at Acts 9: 32-46

Using Acts 6:1 as a starting point, we look at the attacks Satan uses against the body.

In this sermon I look at Acts 5: 40-42, the final way people can respond to the Word of God, after they have affirmed the truth, we announce the truth.

This week we look at Acts 5:33-39 where the Sanhedrin is given some poor advice from Gamaliel and decides to avoid the truth of Jesus Christ.

In this sermon we look at Acts 5:29-32, where the Apostles affirm the truth with their message and their lives.
