In this teaching from Acts Chapter 13, Jamie discusses the situation surrounding Paul and Barnabas being sent off on what becomes their first missionary journey. On the trip, Saul begins to call himself Paul. His trip to Cyprus was critical because in this place, after 14 years, Paul stepped out with the authority and mantle of God upon him.
Topic: Obedience
Acts Chapter 5 (Part 2 of 2)
Covering the text in the last part of Acts Chapter 5, Jamie states that simply presenting the Word of God will not bring power to the church. It must be accompanied by unity in the church through the Holy Spirit. Unity in the church brings forth the power of God. Also, preserving our physical life is not our ultimate goal. Our goal is obedience to God.
Going Through Crisis
The church is moving into the time of its greatest crisis, and we must have spiritual reserves. Do you have not only oil in your lamp but an extra jar of oil as well? It’s not enough to know the deeper things of God; we must be able to love each other and display God’s character, even in difficult times.
The Potter’s Wheel
When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you voluntarily surrender the right to choose or the power to vary the consequences of that decision. He is Lord. God does not give us revelation first; He waits for our obedience. The closer you get to God, the more you will have to depend on Him.
Lessons from the Ark
Jamie teaches on several lessons he had taken from the Ark of the Covenant and how we must not hold any other gods before the One True God, regardless of how sacred or personal that thing, or person, is to us.
Take Up Your Cross Daily
Jamie teaches on God’s blessing and our obedience to His call. We must lay everything on the altar, knowing the only way to receive God’s blessing is God’s way.
They Left Their Nets (Part 1)
We cannot bypass the foundational elements of what Jesus taught us simply because they seem hard. Jesus said we should love the Lord thy God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. We must have our feet planted on the rock of Jesus Christ and put into practice the words and commands He gave us.
