SERMON: THE GRAVE ROBBER
(By Mark Batterson) Scripture: John 11:25-26
Main Idea: Everyone wants a miracle. But here’s the catch: No one
wants to be in a situation that necessitates one! Of course, you can’t
have one without the other. The prerequisite for a miracle is a problem,
and the bigger the problem, the greater the potential miracle.
He is the God who can make your impossible possible!

SERMON: THE REALITY OF THE RESURRECTION
(By Wilfredo “Choco” De Jesús) Scripture: John 20:26-29
Main Idea: It matters how we treat the resurrection. It either entertains
us or propels us forward. Jesus’s resurrection is meant to
be real in our everyday lives—not tucked away in some nice little
story, but living, breathing, and powerfully stirring our lives just as
it was in the lives of the disciples.

SERMON: THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
(By Dr. George O. Wood) Scripture: Acts 2:1-4
Main Idea: The Holy Spirit’s arrival at Pentecost fulfilled Jesus’s promise in Acts chapter 1, resulting in great revival and a worldchanging
missions movement that is still happening today.

SERMON: STAND
(By Herbert Cooper) Scripture: Acts 4:18-20
Main Idea: Every day for the rest of our lives, we will face circumstances
and situations where we have to choose whether we will
stand for Christ. Peter and John had every reason in the world to not
stand for Christ. They were imprisoned, threatened, and their lives
endangered, but they chose to stand and God did powerful things in
and through their lives.

SERMON: YOU CAN’T STOP THE UNSTOPPABLE
(By Christine Caine) Scripture: Acts 5:29-32
Main Idea: God used the martyring of Stephen to bring about
growth, expansion, influence, and eternal life. What seemed to be
an impossible situation and a dead end became the beginning of
new life and the pathway to salvation for many.

SERMON: THE PEBBLE PLAN
(By Phil Hopersberger) Scripture: Acts 1:8
Main Idea: Start making a concerted effort to share the Gospel
and be involved in the Great Commission right where God has you
today, in your Jerusalem, and be open to “ring out” even farther to
your Judea or Samaria, or even to the ends of the earth.

SERMON: THE DRAGON DILEMMA
(By Phil Hopersberger) Scripture: Romans 8:28-29
Main Idea: Just as was true for the believers in the early Church,
God has a purpose for trials and persecution in each of our lives.

SERMON: UNDENIABLE: WHAT EVEN SKEPTICS BELIEVE
(By Dr. Rice Broocks) Scripture: Acts 9:1-16
Main Idea: In a court of law, the burden of proof is “beyond a
reasonable doubt,” not “possible doubt.” Skeptics say things like
“Isn’t it possible that His disciples stole His body and then went out
to preach He had been resurrected?” Yes, that’s possible, but it’s
not reasonable. To make a rational, reasonable decision, we don’t
really need 100 percent certainty about anything. In the same way,
God has given us enough evidence to believe.
