iGrow – Hebrews Session 02

Sis. Jessica Hartzold leads us through the life of King Saul and how we can apply it to our own lives.

iGrow 2020 – King Me: Saul

As we continue on in our journey of the book of John, we see John doesn’t provide accounts of Jesus in chronological order, but depicts snapshots of His life. His accounts leave us to put the pieces together and to draw out the meaning behind them. Jesus’ First Miracle John describes Jesus’ first miracle in John 2:1–11, Jesus turning water into wine. This miracle is different than any other miracle Jesus would ever perform in His ministry. Most miracles—demonstrating God’s power—renewed parts of fallen creation: blindness, lameness, etc. But, no one was dying, sick, or in danger in this particular setting. It was just a wedding, and they were in need of wine. Culturally, wedding celebrations were several days (or a week) long, and the host would provide for his guests per the law of hospitality. It was considered a great shame and dishonor to run out of anything. It […]

The Gospel of John: Part II

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, […]

A Lame Excuse for a Bible Study

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:6–8, KJV). Last week, we learned how Jesus had the power to become more than what He was, but instead He chose to become less—He became a servant. If we are to be a servant in God’s kingdom we need to follow Jesus’ example, have the right motives, and allow servanthood to be a part of our everyday walk with the Lord. Two Ways to Serve in God’s Kingdom There are two ways to serve in God’s kingdom: 1) exercise our gifts and 2) filling gaps. Working for […]

Can I Get Some Service Please: Part II

Due to societal norms, recent generations have been trained to develop a self-focused and self-serving attitude. Most have the mentality of “put myself first and others later.” But, if we are going to be effective in these last days, we need to change our mindset and seek to understand and apply true service in God’s kingdom. Importance of Service Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:6–8, KJV). Our service in the kingdom is a large part of our walk with God—it’s just as important as our worship, prayer, fasting, giving, etc. A wise man […]

Can I Get Some Service Please: Part I

If there wasn’t a God in heaven, we all wouldn’t have a purpose in life. God has a distinct plan for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11), and we need to know Him and seek Him to fulfill a purposeful life here on earth. Developed for Purpose While we know God has a plan for each of us, we may be very eager to jump-start into fulfilling our purpose in life. However, God needs to develop qualities/characteristics in us so we can properly fulfil our (His) purpose. All throughout Scripture, we can see examples of people who had to develop qualities to fulfill their purpose in life. David wouldn’t have been the king that he was, if he didn’t spend some time in the pastures as a shepherd over a flock. It was in the fields he learned how to lead, protect, and work (I Samuel 17:36)! Joseph wouldn’t have been […]

The Qualities of a Purpose-Driven Life

What started as a small church off Market street more than 80 years ago, is now an ever-active and growing part of the Bloomington/Normal community. At APC, we are excited about where we have come from, who we are now, and more importantly where God is going to lead us next! Our services are full of vibrant worship, singing, and preaching and we sincerely enjoy gathering together in fellowship with God's people. Come to experience a move of God like never before and an opportunity to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
