The Nature of Demonic Possession (Part 2)

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 19:11-20 (incl. supplemental passages)

The Care of the Church

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 16:16-17:9

– Paul was willing to endure much hardship for the sake of ensuring that the church was cared for. His model of ministry is one we should all adopt, wherein we are willing to sacrifice anything and everything in the name of the brethren and the advancement of the Gospel.

Paul’s Second Journey

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 15:36-16:15

– In this exposition of Acts, we examine the events surrounding Paul’s second missionary journey which include Paul separating from Barnabas, finding Timothy, and arriving at Philippi where one of the most significant New Testament churches is planted.

“What Must I Do to Be Saved?”

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 15:1-35

– Early in the Church Age, a dispute arose among Jewish believers as to what was required of an individual in order to be saved. Some believed and taught that you needed to keep the Jewish Law, but this theory of salvation was usurped when idol-worshiping Gentiles began to be saved apart from keeping the Law. And so, just as the apostles questioned at that time, so we must also ask: “What must I do to be saved?”

Grace in Salvation

Dr. David Lackey – An exposition of Titus 2:11-14

– The Lord has bestowed upon us a great deal of grace in our salvation, and it’s this very grace that emboldens, strengthens, and motivates us to live a godly Christian life. It’s through the grace offered in salvation that we stand up in defense and proclamation of our Faith, and it’s by reflecting on and living out of this grace that we produce spiritual fruit.

The Second Advent

Pastor Joe Schloegel – A topical sermon

– The first time Christ came to Earth, He was the Sacrificial Lamb. When He returns, however, He will come as the Lion. Christ’s Second Advent will be a day of profound glory and profound judgment, as our Lord will conquer the nations and usher in His Kingdom, fulfilling all of God’s promises in their entirety.

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 9 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Upon the conversion of Paul on the Damascus Road, his entire life became forfeit for the sake of the gospel, and he dedicated himself completely to serving the will of his master, Jesus Christ. He faced every hardship and trial imaginable, yet he never abandoned his ministry. This is an example for every Christian, as it demonstrates how one lives when their ministry is not about themselves, but rather about serving God in Christ.

The Gospel is Spreading

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 8 & 9

– Following the Day of Pentecost, the gospel began to be proclaimed all over the Jewish world. From Philip preaching to the Ethiopian Eunuch, to Paul’s conversion on the Damascus Road which would lead to his ministry to Gentiles, the gospel wet out in force, reaching far and wide and causing many to repent and believe, whether Jew or Greek, slave or free.

The False Faith of Simon the Magician

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Acts 6, 7, & 8 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Simon the Magician was an individual who professed faith in Jesus Christ, and even followed after the teaching of the gospel. Yet, it became apparent over time that his conversion was not genuine. Using this example, we are challenged to test out faith, as not everyone who makes a profession with their mouth is truly transformed in their heart. The question then becomes, “How can we know when someone is truly saved?”
