Bible Hour: We are continuing our study through highlights from the book of Acts. Join us from 9:30-10:30 am for this interactive Bible study where comments and questions are welcome from the congregation. We have seen the Apostle Paul’s masterful use of a creation apologetic to reason with the people gathered at the Areopagus meeting in Acts 17. In verses 24-25 of Acts 17 he introduces a Cosmological argument that God is the “uncaused cause.” In verse 26 he utilizes a Teleological argument namely that all things reveal a purposeful design, and in verses 27-28 Paul states a motion argument, reasoning that things are in motion have an “unmoved mover.” His tactics are a masterclass on building a bridge with the audience and then introducing the need for repentance and accountability to Christ because of the Resurrection (30-31).
We encourage you to come at 10:30 am and join us for coffee and snacks during our Fellowship Break which runs from 10:30 am to 11 am. This is a great time to meet and get to know the church members at GABC.
During our Corporate Worship Service (11 am to noon) Pastor Matt is currently preaching through Ephesians. We just started studying chapter 6, which follows on the heels of Ephesians 5:21 which is mutual submission within the church, one to another out of reverence for Christ. We were reminded that Christ sanctifies the virtue of submission by submitting to the Father as a necessary step in the process of redemption (1 Cor 15:28, Heb 12:2). Our faith should be pervasive and impact even our most mundane relationships, in our homes and at work.
