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.

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

Jesus rose from the dead. His disciples are ready for him to overthrow Rome and set up God's kingdom. But instead, He ascends to heaven. You'd think they would be wildly disappointed. But a physician in the first century records just the opposite. See how their response resulted in the Gospel going global, impacting us to this day.

God never forgets his people. But the 400 years of divine silence following the Old Testament can make you think he does. Among God's forgotten people is an elderly forgotten couple, barren but faithful. They had yearned and prayed for children and now their time had passed. They were no longer asking or hoping for a child. God seemed silent but he was working out an incredible plan that included them. Just when all hope seems lost God tends to show up and do his best work. We can only marvel.
