“We are Powered by God, Part 2” (1/29/12)

Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff,
Scripture: Acts 2:14-47

Sermon Studies:

1. What would you like to see happen at Tabor more than anything else?

2. What are the strategies that will guarantee Tabor’s growth?

3. What are the characteristics of the kind of church God will bless
with growth?

4. In the coming week how can I bring Acts 2 alive in my life and my church?

Further Study:

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV)
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists,
the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

1. How do you see The Lord working within the life of Tabor preparing
“the body of Christ” to be “built up”?

1 Corinthians 3:11 (NIV)
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ.

1. Looking back over your time at Tabor, where have you seen
“foundations” being laid by Jesus Christ?

Psalm 51:15-17(NIV)
15 Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

1. How does a “broken and contrite heart” and “repentance” play a role
in church growth?
