The Book of Acts is the testimony and written record of the charter members of the Church as they took the first steps in the fulfillment of their marching orders. Through the writing of Luke, the Holy Spirit recorded for us the Birth of the Body. If you are a believer then you are part of that infant church with brothers and sisters the likes of Peter, James, John, Paul, Timothy, Titus, Priscilla, Apollos, Mary and that rag tag bunch of obedient soldiers who formed the backbone of the Body of Christ, the Church, where Jesus is our Head. 

In this scripture-packed series, Dr. Betters discusses regeneration, effectual calling, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance and glorification. Come along on this journey and find great joy in discovering many treasures in your journey along your spiritual birthline. Peter’s spiritual journey is a clear picture of a man intrigued by the Messiah, but not converted. In this message we watch as God removes Peter’s spiritual blindness. Peter’s journey helps us see our own spiritual birthlines unfold.

In this far reaching series, Dr. Betters unpacks the foundational doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ, starting with the importance of understanding the different names God uses to describe His people. Throughout the series he defines the gifts of the Spirit, how we can identify our own spiritual gifts, the freedom to wrestle with the Lord when life hurts, how our spiritual DNA shows up in our every day lives and the reasons for church discipline.

Research shows that attendance at most churches is declining, especially among people aged 18 to 30. Church leadership finds itself asking, “What should the church do, if anything, to change to reach this generation that is slipping away?” I read of one example of a new church being established in this area that is changing the perspective of how Jesus is described in the Bible, to how He will be presented in their church. I want to direct this message to the question: Does Jesus Matter to You?

For over twenty-five years Dr. Betters preached God is the builder of broken bridges and brings beauty from ashes. In this series preached not long after the death of his son, Dr. Betters does not shy away from asking the hard questions and sharing his own faith struggles to reconcile God’s love with His sovereignty.

There will always be a struggle between good and evil in our lives. The godly kings of Israel allowed compromise in their lives which resulted in a downward spiral through generations. The consequence of their sin is seen in their children and grandchildren. Are you willing to confess, renounce, and turn away from little areas of compromise in your life? The lives of your children and grandchildren may be at stake.

This series I believe is needed because frankly, I think today our culture expresses a low view of womanhood. I do not claim to be an expert on womanhood, clearly I am not, but I believe the Word of God is, so it is from that context I share these messages.
