Sermons From Village Bible Church (sugar Grove Campus)

Luke is writing this book called Acts to record the history of the early church. These were the years after Jesus’ earthly ministry; after His death, burial, resurrection and ascension into heaven. We might ask what people did after Christ was no...

In our series we call “Unfinished,” we’ve been looking at the ups and downs of the early church.  Last week we began our study of a man named Stephen, a Hellenistic Jew who, along with six other men, was one of the first deacons selected by the church...

In our series “Unfinished,” we’ve been learning how the early church operated and how the Holy Spirit empowered them to do mighty works.  Yet we know their work is still unfinished, and we are to take up that mantle today.  They have given us a great...

Many people wrongly assume the things we read in the Bible are not true of us in 2017. Some people believe the Bible doesn’t apply to us because our culture has changed so much since the days of Scripture. But this is categorically not true...

Last week we saw a turn in the life of the early church.  The religious leaders were becoming upset by the growing number of people who were coming to believe in Christ and making it their mission to spread the gospel.  So the Pharisees and Sadducees...

In the book of Acts, Luke chronicles the life of the early Christian believers, telling how they were responding to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and describing the ways they were continuing their mission of spreading this...

In our series entitled “Unfinished,” we’re examining the book of Acts. It’s called by many “The Acts of the Apostles,” but it’s really the acts of the Holy Spirit. We see the beginning of the church, the events that surround it and take place in it...

We’ll be continuing our series in Acts called “Unfinished.” As we’ve seen, the work of the church is still unfinished. We’re learning from the stories in Acts that with God’s help we can change the world. The Christians in those days were really no...

For the last month we’ve been in our series titled “Unfinished.”  We’re looking at what might be called the “Fifth Gospel.”  The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John chronicle the life of Jesus as He ministered on earth, seeking and saving those...

My name is Jeremy Anderson. I serve as the middle school director here—and I love it. In case you’re wondering, it’s not student ministry Sunday. We’re going to continue in our series in Acts, and I invite you to open to Acts 2:14–41. As you’re...

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve started a series we’re calling “Unfinished: A study from the book of Acts.” We’re using Acts as a model for how ministry in the church needs to be done. The book is a biography describing how God’s Spirit fell on a...

Let’s turn our attention now to the book of Acts which describes events that took place in the best of times and the worst of times. For the previous three years, twelve men had had their lives turned upside down as they followed this Rabbi named...

Village Bible Church seeks to develop disciples who diligently learn, passionately love, and purposely live for the glory of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Fulfilling this vision means... 1.  Challenging the status quo     Just like Jesus we...

We’re finishing up our seven-week series in which we’ve looked at this three-chapter book of Habakkuk. Some of you may never even have heard this guy’s name before and now you’ve invested a lot of time learning about him, about his relationship with...

We’ve been looking at this obscure book in the Bible, one that is often neglected, but one that has a special place in the heart of God. Nowhere else in Scripture, other than these three chapters, is there a book solely dedicated to a conversation...

In this series, we’ve been looking at times when life is difficult and we ask God to answer our prayers, usually coming with preconceived ideas about how He will respond. When we’re sick, we go to God and say, “God, heal me. God, take away this issue...

As I prepared to preach the third sermon in our Habakkuk series, I was thinking about the words to a certain hymn: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a really wonderful guy like me.” That’s how it goes—right? We all know that’s not the...
