TOTALLY not the same. The priest is bowing to a tabernacle. Tim is bowing in prayer and/or thanksgiving.
Well, a couple of things. Neither of these men are bowing. They are kneeling. And the priest is not kneeling to a tabernacle, he is kneeling to Almighty God the Son, Jesus Christ, who is residing in the tabernacle.
Jesus Christ resides in heaven, at the right hand of God the Father. (see Ephesians 1:20). No where in the Bible does it say that Jesus resides in a tabernacle in a Catholic Church. And yes, I will concede that they are both kneeling, but would make no sense calling it Tekneeling. Praising God Tim Tebow is bringing Jesus into the spotlight.

Introduction
Well, after much anticipation we are finally starting our new sermon series where we'll be working and studying through the book of Acts. What we've got planned out are 35 sermons in three different stages. So combined with Easter and other special Sundays, it'll probably take us not quite a year with us finishing up around November sometime.
That might sound daunting to some of you but it's not as bad as when we took three years to go through the book of Romans! Actually let me kind of explain our reasoning and thinking through this. You see there are basically three different types of sermons.
One is narrative, where the preacher doesn't really deal with the Bible at all and his goal is basically to tell an entertaining, engaging and inspiring story. We plain out just don't do that here.
The other one is topical, where there may be a specific subject to address in the church or it's advent season, Easter or some other special Sunday. In topical sermons the goal is to address a specific subject matter and work from a passage of the Bible that addresses that. We do that sometimes here.
The third main type of sermon is what we call expository. It comes from the word "exposed." Expository sermons simply work through books of the Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse and word by word and seek to expose what is there. This is what we do 90% of the time here at The Resolved Church. And there's a reason for that.
One of our main principles of ministry here is that it is the Word of God which does the work of God. So we believe that it's not so much how we put together our service in terms of music, art, coffee, or even the friendliness and relationships of our community that is going to bring people to Christ and help us grow in Christ. Not that those things are not good or do not assist, but we believe that it is the Bible is the chief tool that God has given and designed for us to come to know him and be changed by him. So for that reason we are committed to expository teaching.
This is what God's people have done for thousands of years going back all the way to when Ezra the prophet would open the Bible on a wooden platform at the ancient church services and explain the Scriptures were saying. It seems that for most of Jesus' ministry this is what he was doing was taking his disciples through the Scriptures and explaining them and showing them how they all pointed to him. Then as we'll see, all the preaching of the disciples who become apostles becomes saturated with preaching the Bible. When the apostle Paul, who wrote two-thirds of the New Testament spent three years with the church in Ephesus, he says while he was there he proclaimed to them "the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) and then in 2 Timothy 4:2 with the authority and inspiration of the Holy Spirit he commands preachers to "preach the word."
It's our conviction here that as Hebrews 4:12 states that the word of God is a living and active book that pierces through our heart. The Bible teaches that our hearts are often hard and they need to be pierced and broken and it's only God's word that can do that.
Some of you today know exactly what I'm talking about…if you feel numbness and apathy toward God, frustration or anger toward God, doubt and distrust toward God, shame and guilt toward God…those are all signs of a hard heart that needs to be pierced and broken.
Isaiah 55:11 states that God's word when it goes out from mouths will always accomplish it's purpose. So it's our prayer that through the preaching of the Word you will be softened and drawn in. For others of you, instead of being softened you'll harden your heart and will be driven away from hearing the Word, which though painful and sad is another one of it's functions of God's word to purify and protect the church.
Okay, back to Acts. Basically what I'm saying is the reason we preach through books of the Bible is because we believe that is what the Bible tells us to do primarily. We just sort of call 'em series to make it go down a little easier. It's like in Mary Poppins, a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down.
And Acts doesn't really need a whole lot of sugar because it is simply a super exciting, action packed, heartfelt, drama saturated book. I mean it's got sci-fi in it with levitation and and people turning to into salt and sick people magically getting better. It's got blood and guts with dudes getting stoned to death, thrown in jail, city-wide riots and courtroom trials. It's got shipwrecks, snake attacks and demon possessed getting taken down.
But most of all it's got these phenomenal stories of characters whose lives radically change after hearing the gospel preached and encountering Jesus. And then we see real love being birthed and played out in real life. Time and time again in the book of Acts we see individuals and groups of people whom God's Spirit descends on and changes them. People get saved, churches get planted, and the gospel spreads out all across the world like wildfire. So you guys pumped? I am!
Alright, that's probably enough introduction. Let's read the first five verses here in the first chapter of Acts, pray over them and work through some stuff together. (Read text and pray)
I. Jesus in the Gospel of Luke (vs.1-2)
Okay, so structurally there's sort of three main parts to these verses. Verses 1-2 link the Book of Acts to the Gospel of Luke, which I'll explain in a minute. Verse 3 is all about the resurrection of Jesus. And then verses 4-5 set the stage for the beginning of the story of Acts. These verses cover a ton of ground…the life, death, deeds, preaching, resurrection and ascension of Jesus plus the nature of the kingdom, installation of the apostles, and the coming of the Spirit…which if you put it all together is pretty much everything the Bible ever talks about. Each one of those things could be an entire sermon or sermon series in and of itself.
The EPA came to Idaho and said in a booming voice Stop! to Mike and Chantell Sackett, who were building a home on a plot zoned for residences. The EPA shouted because it had determined that a small portion of the Sackett's half-acre was—are you ready?—a wetland. And therefore sacred.
Not only did the Sackett's have to cease building, if they didn't return the property to the EPA's vision of purity, they would be fined $37,500 per day. This was stated in the EPA's compliance order.
And, oh yes, they would be fined an additional $37,500 per day for violating the Clean Water Act, an Act which gave EPA power to issue fines for both violating the Act and for violating compliance orders written under the authority of the Act. Got it?
For our less mathematically gifted readers, that's seventy-five big ones. A day. How many days? Ah, here is where the story gains interest. Forever: that's how many days.

The U.S. Army is in the process of selecting a company to make a replacement for the aging M4 carbines currently in use, a competition commonly referred to as the Individual Carbine (IC) competition. The idea behind the competition is to replace Eugene Stoner's 50+ year old AR-15 with something that would help our warfighters keep us (and themselves) safe. Something better. Thanks to some hefty requirements, some of the top competitors (with some of the best guns) are dropping out of the competition before it even starts . . .
Thanks (in part) to the competition, this year's SHOT show featured dozens of new and improved assault rifles. Some of the guns were interesting designs from reputable companies like LWRC's IC. Others are improved versions of existing guns, such as FNH's SCAR 16 with non-reciprocating charging handle and Remington's newly lightened ACR.
The main requirements of the proposed RFP (Request For Proposals) are:
