Resources on Acts
Chapter 1
Now would you take your copies of God’s Word and turn with me to the book of Acts, chapter 1. Acts chapter 1 - page 909 in the church Bibles. Before we read God’s Word together, let’s bow our heads and turn to the Lord for His help in prayer. Let us all pray.
Our Father, we pray now that You would give us the help of...
Several Sundays ago we were looking at various events in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ in preparation for our service of last Sunday. I think that you’ll understand that in the life of any person of importance there are those events that stand out above all others either for historical reasons or maybe for practical reasons. Certainly the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ would be...

“Gazing into Heaven: The Ascension of Jesus””
Dr. Derek W. H. Thomas
Today we begin a new series on The Acts of the Apostles and, as you can imagine, this will take us a little while to get through the 28 chapters of The Acts of the Apostles. We’re going to look this evening at the opening, the first...
As we’ve already heard from Spence Flatgard, today is Commitment Sunday, the second Sunday in our stewardship season. And our Scripture this year was chosen because it directs our attention not so much to the means, the finances that we need to accomplish the work of the church, as it does to the vision. We want to focus on the task committed to the church by the Lord...
March 29, 1989 Acts 1:6-11 He Ascended into Heaven Dr. James M. Baird
And as we are studying the ascension, this is the account found in the book of the Acts. I suggested to you previously that there are six historical events, and these events have all occurred in the past, and this is what Christ is and what He is like. It is upon these historical events...
Well as you know, this week and next week we are taking a short break from our studies in 1 Corinthians as a part of our stewardship season, and we’ve designated this morning as Vision Sunday to think about our vision as a church, and next Sunday, Commitment Sunday, as we pledge and give toward the ministry to which we are committed. We want to do a better...

“God's Dare”
The Reverend Mr. David Meredith
Friends, it is a great pleasure and privilege for me to be here this morning. I do hope that you can follow my strange accent. You’ll all be familiar with I Corinthians 13; most New Testament scholars believe that the “tongues of angels” refer to a Scottish accent, so I...
Who Ascended into Heaven Acts 1:9-11
If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Acts, chapter 1. We are continuing our study through the Apostles’ Creed and today we come to the phrase in which we confess that “we believe in Jesus Christ who ascended into heaven.”
Now, the wise old Reformed theologians of the 17th Century used to speak of Jesus’...
THE PRAYER MEETING 1 The New Testament Church ѕ birthed in prayer!
ACTS 1:12-14
There is, of course, something deeply significant about the opening pages of the Acts of the Apostles. Would it be overstating it if we were to suggest that it is more significant than the opening pages of the Gospels? Perhaps! The Gospels begin with the birth of Jesus Christ, the promised Saviour of...
