Spiritual Gifts, Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Acts 2:1-13, Jesus’ disciples receive the much anticipated and long-awaited promise of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Here we see the Holy Spirit is new power, that brings a new message and forms a new people. This is instructive for us as a newly forming, Jesus-loving, Spirit-filled people in the city.

Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Acts 1:9-26 Jesus prepares his first band of followers (120) for His mission by rooting them in the gospel, meeting them in prayer and appointing leaders for the mission. In this, we too can learn how to prepare our lives to be used by Him. Next week: the Spirit comes.

God has been exceedingly gracious (Eph 3:20,21) to us as a newly forming Jesus-loving, gospel-centered, Bible-believing people in heart of our great city. We’re growing numerically, people are meeting and maturing in Jesus, more communities are needed, and sin is coming into the light of Jesus’ grace. The demand for more leaders has never been greater. It has been quite an adventure and we have only just started (literally).

Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In the opening verses of the book of Acts we learn that Jesus’ mission is historically-true, witness-driven and kingdom-focused. Luke is clear. While his gospel was about what Jesus began to do and teach, this book – Acts – is about what Jesus continues do and teach through His Spirit-empowered people.

Ephesians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Ephesians 6:21-24, the Apostle Paul comes to the end of his deeply theology, yet wisely practical, letter to the Ephesians. He does so by touching on the main themes of his letter (grace, peace, faith, love) and calling the church – and us – to “love incorruptible”.

Ephesians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Ephesians 6:10-20, Paul comes to the last major thought unit of his great letter to the church(es) at Ephesus and reminds us that Christianity is a fight. The good news is that Jesus has equipped us with all that we need in this fight. He put down his armor and took your defeat, so that you might take up his armor and take his victory.

Ephesians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today, in Ephesians 6:5-9, we look at the work of the gospel and the gospel at work. God wants to redeem and transform all of our lives, not just a portion of them. Therefore, to be a Christian does not merely mean your Sunday schedule changes. Rather, by trusting and treasuring Jesus, you receive new forgiveness, are made part of a new people (i.e. the church), and placed in right relationship with a new, true, God. This naturally results in redeemed marriages (5:22-33), redeemed families (6:1-4) and redeemed workplaces (6:5-9). The Bible is extremely practical. God is laying out the divine ordering of the most important relationships in our life.

Parenting, Ephesians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Ephesians 6:1-5, we move onto the next set of household relationships: parents and children. These relationships (parents to children; children to parents) are the most dynamic, complicated and influential relationships we have. Here, Paul explains that the primary task of parenting is to cultivate a Jesus-centered home and the primary task of children is to honor their parents.
