Oneness In The Church, Part 1: Acts Series 4:32-5:11

The Unity that we see in the early church is because of the Holy Spirit.  God's people, who have the Holy Spirit within, should be 'One' in heart and voice within the local church where they assemble.  It is a quality repeated many times and a desire of Jesus prayer in John 17.  May we always desire to be Spirit filled and united in Love within the Lord's church.

Sanctify God In Your Hearts, 1 Peter 3:12-18

Outside or Inside Law - There is no Difference, Romans Series 2:12-16

Reaction: The Persecuted Church, Part 3, Acts Series 4:1-31

We as God's people are to be submissive and obey governmental law unless it contradicts God's law. When confronted with this challenge, we do not make purposeful efforts of a defiant show of it, but giving God glory in all we do, we pray God's blessings of boldness to stand.  This is what we see demonstrated by His early church and recorded through history, despite what cost it may have brought.
