Pastor Reid Olson of Crossroads Church of Greeley teaches on Acts 17.
We notice the evangelism style of the Apostle Paul in this chapter. He’s not like modern day evangelicals, who preach at people and offend them with their approach. Paul shows us how to approach with kindness, relate to something out in the open, make reference of who the true God is, and ask people to repent. Paul gives us a good example of how to share the faith by drawing close to others.

Pastor Reid Olson, of Crossroads Church of Greeley, teaches on Acts 5.
When the Spirit of God acts in a way that seems contrary to our human expectations, does the character of God come into question? Humanity has seemed to lose respect for God’s perfect holiness. We have the option to choose life, or choose death. When Peter & John were imprisoned for preaching, an angel of the Lord released them from prison only to tell them to continue to preach about this new life. Death on the front end of Acts 5, and new life at the closing. Which will you choose? Choose life, there is more blessing that way.

Pastor Reid Olson of Crossroads Church of Greeley teaches on the Book of Acts.
Acts chapter 4 is about the beginning of trouble for the disciples. They perform a healing at the temple, and begin speaking about the resurrection. The religious authorities, the Sanhedrin, resist the Kingdom of God moving out through the Church. They tell Peter & John to stop proclaiming the name of Jesus. Peter & John resist. How do you share your faith with others? Will your faith story tell others about Jesus?

Pastor Reid Olson of Crossroads Church of Greeley teaches Acts 3. The healing of the lame beggar man takes precedent in the narrative, but what happens around the event is astounding. The healing took place “outside” the temple gate. The impact of this means that God’s Kingdom work is beginning to move outside the temple walls. God’s Kingdom is on the move, like lava moving down a mountain; no one can contain it’s flow. We learn through Acts 3 that God’s Spirit is on the move and He brings healing, wholeness and joy as a result. Acts 3:19 says when we repent of our sin, times of refreshing will come from God. I hope you find your times of refreshing when you walk away from your sin-filled life.

Pastor Reid Olson of Crossroads Church of Greeley teaches on the BOOK OF ACTS.
Chapter 2 talks about the beginning of the church as the Holy Spirit is given to people. So often we look at Acts 2 merely as the beginning of the church, which is important, but we can easily miss the character of God displayed through His supernatural generosity, His supernatural boldness, leading us to supernatural repentance, and creates a supernatural community as a result. Join us as we look deeper into Acts 2.

This week we look at chapter one of Acts. We have learned to ask two important questions when reading the text of the Bible;
1. Where do we see our personal brokenness in the reading?
2. Where do we see the redeeming work of Jesus Christ in this reading?
As we look through the Book of Acts, we pay attention to the true character of God. We look to the character of God so that we have a firm foundation to stand on when all around us is crumbling. Join us each week as we walk through the Book of Acts together.

Pastor Reid Olson of Crossroads Church of Greeley teaches on quitting on comparison.
Comparison is a killer. It kills your joy, it kills relationships, it kills marriages, it kills your purposes in the world. Why? Comparison is an open admission to God that you’re not happy with who He made you to be, and you wish you were like someone else. There may be something called healthy competition, or challenge to grow stronger, but the negative side of challenge is comparison. Don’t compare yourself to others, it leads only to pride, or to resentment.
