Acts

Committed to Sharing Hope

February 11, 2024

John Stott Quote: We do not speak like Paul because we do not feel like Paul; this is because we do not see like Paul. This weekend are going to close our First Things First sermon series with what I pray will be a message that stimulates and equips us to share the hope of Jesus with a hurting world. We will turn to Acts 17:16-34 to see what the Apostle Paul saw, felt, did, and said to the many lost people he connected with in the Ancient City of Athens. and how his example can inspire us to live the same way.

Committed to Grace

January 28, 2024

One thing is abundantly clear through the testimony of the early church and the witness of God’s Word… grace is the foundation of our new life in Christ. It is God’s grace that both forgives our sins and brings us into new and eternal life with and following Him. It is also grace that should guide our lives starting NOW! So join us for the next week in our First Things First message series and its study of Acts 15:1-21 to see how we can stick to grace in our relationships. Relationships both inside and outside of our the Church.

Committed to Evangelism

January 21, 2024

At Pequea Church… for all believers…. the name “evangelical” does not have anything to do with how we vote or what party we affiliate with. Rather it is who we are and how we live. As a church we express this through our fourth core value which states that we are committed to evangelism and discipleship. But the world that we live in is not always the easiest place to live this out. Join us for week number four in our First Things First sermon series as we turn to Acts chapter eight to see the example of an evangelist named Philip and six practical things that we can apply to our lives and live evangelical lifestyles. Through this message Pastor Jesse will reveal our “theme” or invitation for 2024 to see people come to faith and following our worship service we will host our annual congregational meeting.

Committed to Compassion

January 14, 2024

Last week we learned how to and the importance of RAP. Rejoicing, analyzing and proclaiming through the question over our lives of what are we zealous about? This week we turn to Acts 6:1-7 and we see the church encounter a real problem. A group respond poorly to that real problem yet in the end the whole church remains focused on their mission of helping people know and follow Jesus. And this passage also asks us a question. It is the question of what do we actually value most? Join us for this perspective changing message and time in God’s Word.

Committed to Biblical Truth

January 7, 2024

Did you know that rap is an essential part of the Christian life and the life of our church? It is! But it is not the rap that you are thinking of! Join us Sunday for week number two of our series unpacking who we are and how we live to see from Acts 5:17-42 how the practice of wrap keeps us focused on our new life in Christ. This Sunday we will also begin the New Year by partaking of the Lord’s Supper together. Please be a part of this powerful morning of re-centering our lives upon Jesus.

Committed to Prayer

December 31, 2023

If you have been in the church for any amount of time you have heard that prayer is important and that we should pray. But do you really know why? Do you know the difference that prayer makes in the church and in your life? Join us as we close 2023 by beginning a new sermon series called First Things First. In this series we will unpack our core values as a church to see who we are as Christians and as a church and how we should live. And it all begins with prayer. Join us as we turn to Acts 4 to see the power of prayer and the difference prayer makes in our lives.

The Power of the Holy Spirit

October 15, 2023

Jesus tells all believers in Acts 1:8 you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” There is power in The Holy Spirit… but what kind of power? That is the question that we will turn to Acts 1:1-11 to answer as we continue to see how The Holy Spirit is better for us. We will also have a special opportunity that we want each of you to be able to participate in that we will be unveiling at the conclusion of our worship. We can’t wait to see you for a special time of worship and celebration!

Movements of a Movement of God

September 10, 2023

The Evangelical Congregational Church will be a dynamic movement of God who have a burning passion for God and a missionary zeal to reach the lost. Pequea Church of White Horse will be a dynamic movement of God that has a burning passion for God and sharing the hope of Jesus with a hurting world. This is who we claim to be. We claim and cling to being a dynamic movement of God who out of our passion for God have a passion to reach the lost with the hope of Jesus Christ. We seek to be as both the EC Church and Pequea Church… a dynamic movement of God. But what does a dynamic movement of God look like and how can we birth and foster that within our church and churches. Join us as we turn to Acts 19:1-22 to see the ignition point for the movement of God that we have studied this summer that is the church at Ephesus. Through this study we will see what a movement looks like and four movements of a movement of God that will usher into any circumstance or context… a dynamic movement of our gracious God.

Be More Than Routine

November 21, 2022

A Weekly routine. A daily routine. A Sunday routine. We all get into routines in life. Some of us more than others but routines define at least some part of each and every one of our lives. We go to work. We come home. We rest. We eat. We sleep. We get up the next day and do it all again. Maybe even a part of our routine is to go to church. We serve in the church even. Yet, as routine as it may seem church, and who you are as a member of the church is something so much more than routine. Join us as close out our Dear Church sermon series by looking at Acts 2:42-47 and its reminder that we are called to something so much more and better than routine.

Suffer together

November 13, 2022

Why did God give us the Church? You might be surprised at 1st Peter Five’s Answer Sunday we continue our Dear Church series by looking at 1st Peter 5:1-11. This passage is often known as the “pastor passage” and it is. It gives us a clear picture of the way pastors are called to shepherd the flock and how the flock. Both pastors and church members are called to follow the Chief Shepherd. We will unpack the right makeup of a flock tomorrow in our study. But going deeper than that I believe this passage helps us answer an overarching question we may have or be faced with when it comes to church. Why did God create the Church? What is the true gift in this gift? Join us as we dive into God’s Word to find out!
