Compromise and the Church
29 Nov. 2020
Sometimes we have to sacrifice part of our culture or habits as a church or individual for the unity and fellowship of the church. The second part of Acts 15 and the resolution of the Council of Jerusalem demonstrate the early church doing so.
Following because we were first loved

18OctSermon.m4aKingdom Victory Over Darkness

Sermon 18 Oct 20.wavHope in the Kingdom

MBS Online Church 27th Sept.mp3Pray Desperately for the Church
20 Sept. 2020
In Acts 12:1-19, we look at the church's desperate pleas for Peter's release and life after imprisonment, his miraculous release, and how we are to seek God in desperation during difficulties like we face now in Covid-19 and in the decline of the Church in the West.
MBC Online Church 20th September.wavGenerous like Jesus

MBC Online Church 13th September.mp3Deeper Before Wider

Sermon6sept20.mp3Kingdom Over Culture
30 Aug 2020
Do you place western cultures and ideas over the Kingdom of God? We look at Acts 11:1-18 and how the Jewish believers allow culture to take precedence over Kingdom in their initial response to Peter's Gentile gospel encounter. How have we done this in our own culture?
Sermon30Aug2020.mp3Expand Your Expectations of God
23 August 2020
Are your expectations of God and what he can do in your life and your church too small? Continuing the rest of Acts 10 with vv. 23-48, we explore how God may be calling us to pray bolder, bigger prayer for our church and to revise what we expect of Him.
SermonActs102348.mp3God Ideas Over Good Ideas
16 August 2020
We return to the book of Acts in Acts 10:1-23. The call of Peter to Cornelius is a familiar narrative, but is something deeply of the wisdom of God over man. We want God ideas for his Kingdom and not just good ideas.
