Invitation Church Podcast

Use-full

This weekend we unpacked Acts chapter 9:1-19! 

 » You don’t grow by MOVING ON from the gospel, but by digging more DEEPLY into it—and becoming more deeply ROOTED in it. 

 » In a world that says, "MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!" We hear from the heart of God on a road to Syria that he has MADE US SO, but he wants to make us even MORE so! 

 » What is getting in the WAY of your DIVINE USEFULNESS? 

Grace

This weekend Dennis Thum shared a message on grace.  

 » What we learn as we grow is that hardship is the doorway to grace.

 » Grace is not the activity of God; it is the very nature of God. 

Simon the Sorcerer

This weekend we unpacked Acts 8. 

 » Jesus wasn't the first to say: "Come follow me," and he won't be the last. 

 » Turning toward Jesus involves claiming his promises and wrestling with his questions. 

Stephen

This weekend we unpacked Acts 7.
