The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by David Snelling | Deacon
Sermon Notes:
Matthew 28:19-20 Acts 2:42-47
The local church is built up of Spirit filled disciples committed to the Lord: TOGETHER
2 Peter 2:1-2, Ephesians 4:11-16
“We pay a price to give our lives to a real community. We lose some of our space, time, and freedom to do as we please. But the Bible tells us to submit to one another. That requires us to adjust, to fit in, to always look for the win/win… Scripture is clear. Christians have to choose between isolation, which is easy, and belonging, which is costly – and much more satisfying. Here is why our belonging to a church matters so much to God. We are living stones in the spiritual temple that He is building in the world today. He wants to dwell among His people, and we as living stones find ourselves when we are built into the spiritual temple. There is no churchless Christianity in the Bible. We individualistic Americans need to face that. God is building a new community, and it’s worth belonging to.” – Ray Ortlund
Those who BELONG TO the Church of Jesus Christ, BELONG WITH the church of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 4:4-7, John 13:34
The local church should understand and reflect this great truth:
That our LIVES are nor our OWN, but EXIST for the GLORIFICATION of Jesus and the SPREADING of His message – in UNITY with one ANOTHER.
1 John 5:14, Psalm 34:14, Hebrews 10:19-25, Galatians 2:20

Peter's Gospel | Acts 2:14-41 | The Birth of the Church

Sunday January 26, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Peter's Gospel | Acts 2:14-41
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
"There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit does not work apart from the preaching of the gospel. It is through the faithful declaration of the Word of God that the Spirit draws men to Christ.” — D.L. Moody
mportant Take-Aways from Peter’s Gospel Presentation:
1) The book of Acts reveals that for the GOSPEL to go FORWARD, it must do so not merely with ‘ACTS,’ but also with ‘ADDRESSES’ — not just GOOD WORKS completed, but TRUE WORDS spoken.
Romans 10:14-17 // John 17:17-20 // Mark 16:15-16
2) Christians and their CLAIMS aren’t CRAZY or IRRATIONAL - they’re based on a LOT of PROPHECY FULFILLED in HISTORY.
Luke 24:27 // 1 Peter 1:10-12
3) Saving faith observed has at least four clear components…
- Undeniable, HEART-level CONVICTION that cannot be IGNORED.
John 16:8
- CONFESSION and REPENTANCE of personal SIN as the primary PROBLEM in life, which must be RECONCILED.
Luke 13:1-5
- Specific TRUST in the perfect LIFE, atoning DEATH, and triumphant RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ, the divine Son of GOD and sovereign LORD of heaven and earth.
Romans 10:9-10
- A DESIRE to be BAPTIZED as a public PROFESSION of faith and the first step of practical OBEDIENCE in a LIFE of following Jesus.
Acts 16:30-33

The Arrival of the Spirit | Acts 2:1-13 | The Birth of the Church

Sunday January 19, 2025 at the Hub City Church
The Arrival of the Spirit | Acts 2:1-13
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
Matthew 25:14-30
The HOLY SPIRIT was given to Jesus’ CHURCH for one primary reason: That they might powerfully DECLARE and DISPLAY His mighty GOSPEL-WORKS to EVERYONE in the world!
“The ‘gift’ or ‘baptism’ of the Spirit, one of the distinctive blessings of the new covenant, is a universal blessing for members of the new covenant, because it is an initial blessing. It is part and parcel to belonging to the new age. The Lord Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant and the bestower of its blessings, gives both the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit to all who enter his covenant. Further, baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.” — John Stott
From the Spirit’s Arrival at Pentecost, we see:
1) The GIFT of the Holy Spirit is for ALL BELIEVERS, to EMPOWER them for MISSION.
Joel 2:28-29 // 1 Corinthians 12:4-7,11 // 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5
2) While we can’t CALCULATE the MOVEMENTS of the Spirit, they are CALCULATED.
John 3:8 // Acts 8:26-29, 10:19-20, 11:11-15, 13:2-4, 16:6-7, 14
3) The Holy Spirit can OVERCOME any BARRIER and use ANYBODY to REACH anybody.
Ref. Acts 10

Lessons of PRAYER from the Newborn Church | Acts 1:12-26 | The Birth of the Church

Sunday January 12, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Lessons of PRAYER from the Newborn Church | Acts 1:12-26
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God’s sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.” — Jerry Bridges
1. The gospel and the promises of God should not DIMINISH our PRAYERFULNESS but ENERGIZE it!
John 14:12-14 // Philippians 4:6 // // James 5:16-18
2. UNIFIED prayerfulness has been a FOUNDATIONAL aspect of the church’s MISSION since its INCEPTION.
Acts 2:42, 4:24, 6:6, 12:5, 14:23
3. CORPORATE prayer is particularly FITTING as the church enters a new SEASON with NEED for God’s DIRECTION.
Acts 13:2-3 // Ezra 8:21-23 // Nehemiah 9:1-3 // 2 Chronicles 20:3-4
4. Seeking God’s WILL in prayer should always involve 3 key elements: SCRIPTURE, WISDOM, and the GUIDANCE of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Psalm 119:105 // Proverbs 3:5-6 // John 16:13

The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage

Christian married couples are to view sex not as PRUDES or PAGANS but as those who know it is a POWERFUL PORTRAYAL of PERFECT, eternal INTIMACY with God.

Have sex on PURPOSE. (Hebrews 13:4)
- It generates PRAISE unto God.
- It is the PINNACLE of marital intimacy.
- It is for the PRODUCTION of children.
- It is a PROTECTION from sin.
Have sex for PLEASURE. (Song of Solomon 4:9-11)
- It should always be a POWERFUL ecstasy.
- It should often be PLAYFUL.
Have sex within God’s PARAMETERS. (Matthew 5:27-30, 1 Corinthians 7:1-5)
- It should only be PERFORMED in the confines of marriage.
- It should be PURE.
- It should be PUNCTUAL, PERPETUAL and mutually PERMISSIVE.

The Jesus Effect | Philippians 2:9-13

Jesus is ALREADY our KING.
Daniel 7:13-14 // Ephesians 1:16-23

King Jesus could return at ANY TIME.
Mark 13:32-37 // Revelation 3:11
We should all seriously CONSIDER how our lives can ‘FALL IN LINE’ with Jesus’ Kingship in 2025.
Romans 12:1-2 // 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

How to Have a Fulfilling Christmas | Luke 1:46:55

Sunday December 15, 2024 at the Hub City Church
How to Have a Fulfilling Christmas | Luke 1:46:55
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
The most important means of CELEBRATING ‘Christmas’ is NOT giving GIFTS to ONE ANOTHER; it is attempting to EXPRESS our awe and humble GRATITUDE for GOD'S inexpressible GIFT, through SINGING.
1. Singing EXISTS because some REALITIES are too WONDERFUL for God-CONSCIOUS beings to KNOW and merely TALK about.
Genesis 2:23 // Exodus 15:1-2 // 1 Samuel 2:1 // Romans 11:33-36
2. Because Christians know God, there are ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES to SING about His glorious CHARACTER and WORKS.
Psalm 47:6-7, 66:2, 147:1
3. Upon HEARING the NEWS of God’s merciful PROVISION of the promised SAVIOR, Mary and the multitude of ANGELS alike burst forth in SONG. WE should too!
Luke 2:10-14 // Luke 2:28-32 // Colossians 3:16
“Christian singing is the musical use of the voice to express truth that accords with God’s word, and feelings that accord with God’s worth. It is a gift beyond measuring." — John Piper

4: FINANCES | 2 Corinthians 8:1-9
The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“Why did Jesus put such an emphasis on money and possessions? Because there’s a fundamental connection between our spiritual lives and how we think about and handle money. We may try to divorce our faith and our finances, but God sees them as inseparable.” — Randy Alcorn
“There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, mind and purse.” — Martin Luther
Christian married couples ASSESS their FINANCIAL RESOURCES in light of the GOSPEL so that they might STEWARD them for KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT!

1. SET Financial PRIORITIES TOGETHER.
- Matthew 6:33

3. GUARD AGAINST Financial IDOLATRY.
- Matthew 6:19-24 // 1 Timothy 6:17-19
4. CELEBRATE God’s PROVISION.
- Romans 8:32 // 2 Corinthians 9:15 // James 1:17 // Psalm 34:9-10
