Quest Sermons & Talks

Pastor Leah teaches we need to claim the radical hope we are called to as believers in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Ray teaches in today's text as we continue the story of Saul of Tarsus who was captured by the amazing grace of God on the road to Damascus. The grace of God now compels him to proclaim the message that Jesus is the Son of God.
That same grace compels us today.

Pastor Eugene preaches about the dramatic conversion of Saul of Tarsus from a murderous persecutor of Christians to a person blinded, humbled, and later, restored by the grace of Christ to be a “chosen instrument” for the very gospel of Jesus Christ.

Listen to Quest missionaries share about God's faithfulness, and our call to faithfulness in response, in the midst of life's challenges.

Pastor Ray teaches  how the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch reminds us that salvation is solely the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit initiated in God's unconditional grace. Philip is a wonderful example of the part that we play in salavation as co-workers together with God, but it doesn't depend on our ability.
Jesus said, "No one comes to me unless the Father draws him."

Pastor Eugene, preaches that the gospel of Christ goes beyond Jerusalem and just as Christ predicted, the gospel goes to Samaria – a place and people hated by many. In this passage, we are reminded that the object of our faith must always be Christ and the cross; not signs, miracles, or even powerful demonstrations. Simon the Sorcerer is drawn to “belief” not because of Christ but through the lure of signs, power, and notoriety.

Why did persecution against Christians begin? Why is it happening now and why will it continue until the day of the Lord? And how will the Lord use it for His glory and honor?

As Stephen is stoned and killed, he utters the prayer, “Lord, do not hold this against them.”  When we’ve been wronged or hurt, how are we as Christians to move from a spirit of anger and bitterness to a rhythm of forgiveness.

Stephen is on “trial” for blasphemy by the religious leaders but with great courage, conviction, and Spiritual discernment, he put the religious leaders and institution on trial and speaks to the issues of the Temple, cultural customs, and “stiff-neckedness.” God cannot be contained by a place or building. The worship of Jesus supersedes cultural impositions. The people of God must be Spirit led.

Acts 6:8-15
shows the emergence of Stephen’s leadership but also the beginning of the
opposition against the Christian church. Pastor Eugene details why this
opposition begins to take place and the promise that God will be with us.
