God’s purpose and plan is that the gospel message be spread throughout the world. Those who have received the benefits of salvation should want to be a witness. Bro. Jeff begins sharing several examples of witness as encouragement to us.

Sermons on Scripture (Page 10)
Just like the Gentiles in Paul’s day, people today have many reasons for wanting to hear and various ways of responding. Do you want to hear? What was/is your response? Your eternal destiny hangs on your responses to those questions, and Bro. Jeff encourages us with clear Bible teaching.
Imagine the discomfort felt by the Jewish leaders, “experts” in God’s Word, when Paul pointed out knowledge and revelation they had missed. Bro. Jeff provides Bible preaching from Paul’s sermon and gives practical wisdom for our lives today.
Here, Bro. Jeff reminds us that we cannot understand the world we live in, nor God’s Word, if we don’t understand the truth of God’s sovereignty. God is in control; He can and will do what He wills to do. He had a plan of salvation for a lost and sinful humanity; He sent His Son to pay our sin penalty. Jesus, God in human form, suffered a cruel, torturous death and bore the punishment for all of humanity. Jesus, in His deity, rose from death and reigns today and forever. The most important questions we will consider are these. Do we really believe it? Do we really proclaim it?
Jesus is the risen Savior! Fulfilled prophecies and eyewitness evidence prove that Christ is who He said He is. Bro. Jeff’s message provides truth, encouragement, and important questions for self-examination.
This powerful message reveals the real danger in not knowing God’s Word, not taking it seriously. The mighty, religious leaders had heard and studied God’s Word, yet were blind to the prophecy being fulfilled right before their very eyes. How well do you know the Scriptures? Do you know the Savior?
Focusing on the area of ministry, Bro. Jeff makes practical application of some key characteristics of the early church. Are you listening to God? Looking for opportunities? Demonstrating “holy determination?” Using your abilities? Taking action? In what kind of ministry does God want you involved?
“People who are growing are hungry.” They are also committed to helping others be born again. Are you spiritually growing? Hungry for God’s Word? Sharing the gospel? We are urged to be diligent and encouraged in our blessings by pastor in this powerful message.

Another powerful sermon on what God wants to do for you by way of the Holy Spirit! How do we get Him to do that? How does He do it? What evidence is there that He has done it? Answers are found in God’s Word; Bro. Jeff relates them here.
“The love that was demonstrated for us at the cross and that was deposited in us at our conversion is being developed in us through connections, relationships. God is trying to grow and mature us in the area of love. Bro. Jeff begins this message theme by describing the connections that a growing love needs.
