Guest speaker Dale Van Steenis shares the impact that Relate Church has on international missionary work. 

They were a Threat to the World | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 9/15/2024

In Acts Chapter 19 Paul is in Ephesus wanting to take the stage at the Great Theater.
The crowd in the Great Theater gets threatened in their security of their idol that they worship.
The church was deemed a threat to the world by not using their product anymore.

They Used the Name of Jesus | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 9/8/2024

To use the Name of Jesus, to invoke the Name of Jesus for power, it takes having a relationship with Him. But I have used the Name of Jesus, and nothing happened. Why? Well, there are times that even Jesus either couldn’t, or just didn’t heal people.

They were a Team | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 9/1/2024

Jesus called individuals to be on His team. To be useful on the team, they had to give themselves over to Him, they had to accept each other, and their former way of wrong thinking, wrong living, all of it had to be laid down. To be useful on the team, they had to do what Jesus was doing.

They Hinged Everything on the Resurrection | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 8/25/2024

In Acts 17 Paul is in Athens and encounters a city full of idols. 
He sees a culture of people who want to believe, people who hope to believe, people who are trying to worship,
but have no idea who the living God is. Paul debates with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers over Jesus and His Resurrection. 

They Followed the Holy Spirit, and they Made New Family Wherever they Went | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 8/18/2024

The true church of Jesus, the true Body of Christ, will welcome all who are believers in Jesus. 
The True Body of Christ, you will feel right at home no matter what your financial situation is, 
no matter what color your skin is, you don’t even have to have a membership card.
You can travel a thousand miles and walk into a True Body of Christ church and feel like you are home.

 

They Became All Things to All People – Under Christ’s Law of Love | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 8/11/2024

When someone comes to Christ it’s about a relationship of love.  An individual relationship. 
Which means that some things you do may not be offensive to God for you to do them, but they would be for me.
The principle here is so important to how we live our daily lives as believers. 
You live under Christ’s law of LOVE.

They Had Disagreements, They Lightened the Load | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 8/04/2024

God has called us to live lives of love. And when you live a life of love, you never have to worry about the law. This is the life of the New Covenant.

They Shook the Dust off their Feet, They Tore their Clothes | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 7/28/2024

Have you ever heard the saying, “Shake the Dust off your feet?” It comes from Jesus. In three of the 4 Gospels, Matthew 10:14, Luke 9:5, and Mark 6:11, it is recorded that Jesus told the disciples that if anyone rejected them and wouldn’t listen to them, to shake the dust off their feet when they leave that house or town.
Jesus gave us freedom to walk away from people who reject Him, knowing they did their part.
God knows that you can only say so much, that you can only do so much, and so long as you have done your part, you can walk away knowing you did your part and are free to let them go.

They Prophesied, they saw Angels and God’s Judgment | Pastor John Eaton | The Acts of the Apostles | 7/21/2024

The interaction of the heavenly realms in the New Churches was very real. Although it wasn’t an everyday occurrence, it is something the believers experienced on God-willing occasions.
I wonder how many times you have been protected by an angel and don’t even know it. 
I wonder how different your life would be had it not been for God’s army watching out for you.
I have to wonder how many times your life was over, but God….
