Lessons from Acts – Church Life

Brian Hopkins

October 5, 2025

On the first Pentecost after Jesus ascended back to His Father, God poured out His Holy Spirit upon the remaining eleven apostles, and they began to prophesy. Peter - filled with the Holy Spirit - preached a short sermon which so convicted those who heard it that 3,000 of them confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior. This amazing event was the birth of the new Church of Jesus through which He continues His work of proclaiming the Gospel of salvation in Him throughout the world. These new believers joined together in fellowship - praising God, praying together, devoting themselves to following Jesus, proclaiming His Word to whomever they could, sharing their food and possessions with one another, and partaking in the two ordinances of baptism and communion which Jesus had commanded for His Church. Consequently, God added to their numbers day-by-day. Since that day, this newborn fellowship of Gospel believers has provided the model for how we today are to "do church" and continue to make disciples in the world as we anxiously await our Lord's return.

Lessons from Acts – The Holy Spirit

Brian Hopkins

September 28, 2025

Throughout history, God has placed His Spirit upon various people at various times for His good purposes. We see a good example of this in the book of Numbers chapter 11 when God poured out His Spirit upon the leaders of the clans of Israel in response to Moses' cries for help. But many years afterward, the prophet Joel foretold that God would one day pour out His Spirit upon all people. The fulfillment of that prophecy came just a few days after Jesus ascended back to His Father on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus' apostles just as He had promised at the last supper, and reiterated just before He was taken up.

More Things To Do

Brian Hopkins

Paul concludes his letter to the Colossians with some instructions about prayer. He asks them to pray for him and those who are with him in Rome - not that they might be release from prison, but that God would open doors in their current situation to share the Gospel effectively with those around them. He advises the Colossians (and us) to be specific in our prayers, to always pray with thankful hearts, and to pray always in the Spirit. But he also gives a warning to always be watchful so that we don't fall into temptations from the spirit of our enemy.

New You – Better Life

Brian Hopkins

September 14, 2025

In the last part of Colossians 3, Paul gives instructions regarding our relationships with others - particularly our family members, our employees, and our employers. Over the years there has been a great deal of misunderstanding about this passage - so much so that preachers often simply skip over it to avoid controversy. However, it is really quite simple to understand these instructions. They reflect God's sovereign design for human society. Jesus is head of all. If men, women, and children simply submit ourselves under His authority and let all our words and actions reflect His lordship over them, the divinely ordained order for our human relationships falls right into line.

Homecoming 2025

Adam Hopkins

September 7, 2025

A splendid time was enjoyed by all. Tugalo Holler played for us including their popular Old Man Noah song with exotic animal sounds. Adam Hopkins shared a message from Psalm 73, and of course there was barbecue.

Out With the Old – In With the New

Brian Hopkins

August 31, 2025

Paul continues in Colossians 3 encouraging us to put to death all of the old sinful remnants of our former lives, and in their place to "put on" as one would a garment all of the Christ-like characteristics with which our LORD Jesus has endowed us - particularly Christ's love for all people, which binds all these Christ-like characteristics together in Him.

Mission Driven

We are to live each day on mission. From beginning to end, our day is to be lived with God’s Kingdom in mind. In Matthew 28 Jesus said to “Go into ALL the world.” Go into our local community, our state, our nation, and every corner of the world with the life-giving good news that can only be found in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ!

Community Centered

God never intended for man to be alone. He understands how much we need each other and intends for us to live life together as a community of believers. We are to share in the messy, painful, and difficult circumstances we face on a day-to-day basis. Also, we are to share the merciful, grace filled, joyful, and peaceful times as well. We desire to be genuine, compassionate, loving, forgiving, and serving people, just like Jesus.

Gospel Oriented

Everything we think, say, or do is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Who we are, how we live, and why we exist is because of His finished work on the cross, in the tomb, and as the risen King. This knowledge is the foundation for our lives. The Gospel is not a compartment of our lives, but the life-giving source from which we daily consume.
