Creation, corruption, catastrophe. So goes the first part of the human story. Our mighty Creator is far too good to be close to rebellious people like us. But no matter how much he's allergic to our sin, he deeply loves us and wants us. When you read the start of The Story, you can't help but feel both unworthiness and acceptance. God is on a mission to bridge the gap between us and win back our straying hearts.

People love stories. They capture our imaginations and cause our emotions to sink and soar. The greatest story of all time is true and causes people to pack into churches around the world this Sunday. It's a story that doesn't leave you as you are. It's a story that invites you in, allowing you to know the author and main character personally. Once you join the ultimate story, you can never be the same.

“He will never find God.” “She's a lost cause.” Too little, too late. If we took the time to think about it we could come up with a list of many people we think are too far gone to be reached by Jesus. In the early church there was one man who would have topped everyone's list. He was enemy #1, the biggest opponent to Christianity, and the biggest zealot imaginable. Join us as we see how God transformed Saul's life and the impact that one moment still has on our lives today.

As the explosive growth of the early church continued, the Holy Spirit directed Philip away from a highly successful, growing ministry and moved Philip to interact with a stranger far from God, away from the public eye. Come hear how Philip responded and how small steps of faithful obedience can have an impact we don't expect!

There will always be both false conversions and ignorant converts within the gathering of God's people. This Sunday we will encounter the first wolf in sheep's clothing of the early church. How they responded to this threat to the community will teach us how to avoid becoming distracted and instead continue to spread the Good News in communities everywhere we go.

Growth can be difficult. Growing comes with growing pains. Whether it's growing a family, growing a business, or growing the church. What do we do when things go wrong? When things get overlooked and things are not as they are meant to be. Perhaps God has prepared you to step into the mess and be the solution you never thought you could be. Join us on Sunday as we see how the church handled some of its own growing pains and discover how God is still using people today to do great things.

Threats, jail time, torture…all things we try to avoid. Yet early believers faced hardships with tremendous joy, honored that God considered them worthy to suffer for Him. Have we counted the cost of following Jesus? The greatest happiness is found not by chasing happiness, but by chasing Jesus.

Peter is newly famous. His first sermon went viral and he now helps lead a church of thousands. On his way to church, he runs into a guy who adds nothing to his growing resume. Instead of ignoring, he slows down to see and care for this forgotten man, finally embracing the servant-leadership mindset of Jesus. What happens next can only be described as a divine appointment. Let's explore how small interruptions can become divine interactions
