Our study of the final verses in Acts will show that Paul would have sang a very different song—one we can sing too! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1212212110286879 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:54 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/126211615237069 On the surface, Acts 27-28 may seem to be simply a travel narrative, showing how Paul got from Caesarea to Rome. But the passage reveals that the storms that he encountered on his journey have a lot in common with the storms we face in our lives today—including the anchors that God gives us. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/126211615237069 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:34:49 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1122211431315614 Many of us love and follow Christ but find telling others about Him to be challenging. In Acts 24-26, the Apostle Paul is a great role model showing us what courageous witnessing for Christ looks like—even in difficult situations. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1122211431315614 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:15 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1115211436153270 If you serve God, what will happen? What expectations do you have? Our passage for today, Acts 21:27-23:35, will help give biblical expectations for those who are living on mission for Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1115211436153270 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:37:41 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/118211425532418 What does it look like for someone today to be "passionate" about serving Jesus Christ? Acts 21 will give us some clues as we study what the Apostle Paul's passion for Christ led him to do—and not do. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/118211425532418 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:46:25 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/111211355365979 There are many speeches in the book of Acts, and all of them but one are either evangelistic sermons intended for unbelievers or legal defenses. The one and only speech given to believers is found in Acts 20, and what it reveals about Paul's life and ministry is still very relevant and challenging today. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/111211355365979 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:42:03 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/11421171215513 In Acts 19 we see that life change comes through the power of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, our actions and habits are changed as we follow Jesus. We see this lived out in Paul's almost 3-year ministry in Ephesus during his third missionary journey. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/11421171215513 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Corey Mode 0:33:55 no Corey Mode - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1018211213323121 Sometimes the best way to learn something is to examine case studies. That is what this sermon from Acts 18:23-19:7 does—it examines three case studies in disciplemaking in order to help believers follow through on Jesus' command for us to make disciples who make disciples. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/1018211213323121 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:44:27 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/101121181194960 Sometimes we mistakenly think of the characters in the Bible as superhuman, as not subject to the same challenges and limitations we face as we serve God. Acts 18 shows that one of the most effective servants for Christ—the Apostle Paul—faced times when he was down, but it also shows how God rejuvenated him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/101121181194960 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:52 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/107211316417674 The religious climate of first-century Athens was strikingly similar to our setting in twenty-first century America. Acts 17 shows how Paul contextualized the gospel for that culture, and this sermon gives tips for how we can do it today where we live. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/107211316417674 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:36:01 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/928211552115201 Are you tired of all of the division in our world?

Often, however, that plan comes together in ways that we could never anticipate or plan ourselves, and that is the case in our passage for today, Acts 15:36-16:10. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/9202114927618 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:47:29 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/830211340576433 We are familiar with various types of supply lines in our society. This sermon from Acts 13 is going to point us to the ultimate supply line for God's work of evangelism, disciplemaking, and church planting. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/830211340576433 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:41:21 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/823211634382769 Today's message is given by Dan Martin and focuses on Acts 12:20-24. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/823211634382769 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dan Martin (HCC) 0:35:01 no Dan Martin (HCC) - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/82321163052640 What do you do when you face something very difficult or even impossible? Today's sermon from Acts 12 shows us what the early church did in one of those situations—and how it turned out surprisingly well! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/82321163052640 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:41:50 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/89211429122414 Unfortunately, the church in America for the most part not growing by conversion. The few churches that are growing most often are doing so because people transfer from one church to another. Acts 11 shows us how the early church expanded, giving us hope and instruction. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/89211429122414 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:43:46 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/8221139444087 It is hard to conceive of a Christian working AGAINST God rather than FOR Him. It is even harder to conceive of an apostle doing that. Today's sermon from Acts 10:23-11:18 shows how Peter avoided that and obeyed God—and how we can too. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/8221139444087 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:41:17 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/72721134301356 It is natural to look only at the actions people do, but every action comes from within. Our passage for today, Acts 10:1-23, show us how God can help us get to the "heart" of the matter. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/72721134301356 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:42:06 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211510437127 There are a lot of extreme positions on healing within the Christian world—ranging from so-called "faith healers" who take people's money for public "healing" to those who deny the presence of any healing today. Based on Acts 9:32-43, we will attempt to give a biblical perspective on healing and miracles. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211510437127 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:14 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211453543745 When we study the life of famous people like the Apostle Paul, it is easy for our focus to be on what they did to serve Christ, but our passage today demonstrates that his ministry was fueled by partnership with God and others. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211453543745 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:26 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211437412486 Acts 9 records the amazing conversion of Saul of Tarsus. While there are a lot of unique elements to his experience, the focus of this message is the many similarities it has to every conversion to Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/726211437412486 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:43 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/7221018286791 Gomer Pyle's famous expression was "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" In Acts 8:1-25, there are three surprises, and all of them point to God's power. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/7221018286791 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:35:33 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/722101111245 You may have heard the saying, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." Our passage for today introduces us to the first Christian martyr, Stephen. Even though we may not be called to sacrifice like he did, there is much to learn from his life and death. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/722101111245 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:41:07 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/722105485869 Multiculturalism is a rich opportunity that also involves challenges—in society and in the church. Acts 6:1-7 shows us how the early church dealt with the challenge very well. Context: After Satan's attempts to hinder the church through persecution and moral corruption failed, he tried yet another tactic in Acts 6. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/722105485869 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:36:19 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/610212043162180 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/610212043162180 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dan Martin (HCC) 0:35:53 no Dan Martin (HCC) - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/61021193204773 All of us face opposition that takes expression in different ways. The same is true of Jesus' church. Satan will attack it from the outside and the inside. Acts 4:32-5:16 describes opposition from the inside. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/61021193204773 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:32:40 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/51821165312976 In the first three chapters of Acts, everything seemed "rosy" for the early church. Now chapter 4 recounts one of MANY instances in which the gospel was opposed and believers were persecuted. That is happening all over the world today, and more frequently in America than before. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/51821165312976 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:32:15 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/518211553406526 Some people face desperate situations in their lives and know it, while others may not have a lot of felt needs. Today's sermon from Acts 3 shows how the early church met felt needs but didn't stop there, always pointing to humanity's greatest need of a Savior. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/518211553406526 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:36:36 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/51721210397578 Prayer is something every Christian and every church does, yet for many it is a struggle. Today's sermon is the fourth of four messages based on Acts 2:42-47 that describes church LIFE—then and now—and describes their devotion to prayer, which serves as a great model for us today. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/51721210397578 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:30:40 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/51721202391254 Worship.

Today we will look at that first sermon by Peter in Acts 2:22-41 so we all can understand this message and how believers in Christ today can share the good news with others. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/413211356198064 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:28:07 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/32321175054198 The phrase "United we Stand" has been used in many different mottos throughout history. The early church prayed together often, so much so that its motto might have been, "United we Kneel." We see a beautiful picture of that in today's message from Acts 1:12-26. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/32321175054198 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:39:42 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/316211322502901 At the moment Jesus ascended to heaven, his followers stood there amazed and probably confused. Yet God sent them an important message about how they should think about this stunning development. This sermon from Acts 1:9-11 explains that event and shows how Jesus' ascension still impacts us today. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/316211322502901 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:35:53 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/316211314157459 When architects design buildings, they create blueprints so everything will work as planned. Similarly, God is in the process of building his church, and the book of Acts shows us some of his blueprints. Today's sermon introduces Acts by revealing things that Jesus wants specifically for his church. This sermon is titled, "Still at Work," and comes from Acts 1:1-8. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/jerrybarber/sermons/316211314157459 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jerry Barber 0:34:42 no Dr. Jerry Barber - When God Builds His Church
