Audio podcast of the Sunday morning messages from Pastor Jason Huddleston and other guest speakers at First Baptist Church in Elgin, TX. For more information visit us online at fbcelgin.org
Pastor Jason walks through Acts 6:1-7, showing how the early church addressed growing pains by appointing deacons—Spirit-filled servant leaders who freed the apostles to focus on prayer and teaching. When God's people faithfully serve in their God-given roles, the church thrives and the kingdom grows. This message challenges us to be filled with the Spirit, find our place to serve, and trust God's design for healthy church leadership.
When earthly authorities conflict with God's commands, where do we draw the line? Pastor Jason Huddleston walks through Acts 5, where the apostles boldly declare 'We must obey God rather than people.' Discover what it means to live under Christ's ultimate authority while navigating the laws and expectations of the world around us—and why our normal posture should be peaceful submission, except when obedience to man requires disobedience to God.
Pastor Jason unpacks the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 4-5, challenging us to drop the mask of spiritual performance and embrace radical honesty in Christian community. Hypocrisy still kills today—not always immediately, but over time—destroying marriages, friendships, and faith. God's grace is abundant, but sin still matters deeply to Him, and the church thrives when we confess our struggles rather than hide behind appearances of having it all together.
When we feel unqualified or inadequate to share our faith, we often focus on what we lack instead of who we have—Jesus. Through the story of Peter and John healing the lame beggar, we discover that Spirit-filled boldness doesn't come from training or talent, but from spending time with Jesus. True transformation in our lives creates opportunities to testify about the One who really deserves the glory.
What does it mean to be truly devoted to Jesus? In this opening message of the Unstoppable series through Acts, we discover the original DNA of the early church: a people radically devoted to God's Word, to one another, to prayer, and to generous living. When devotion to Christ defines every area of our lives—not just Sunday mornings—the kingdom advances and God adds to His church day by day.
Pastor Jason explores the Day of Pentecost from Acts 2, showing how the Holy Spirit's arrival fulfilled God's promises and empowered ordinary believers like Peter to boldly witness for Christ. God wants all people—your neighbors, your enemies, every nation—to be saved, and He has given you the same Spirit power to be His witness right where you are. Set a daily reminder to pray for divine appointments, trust the Holy Spirit when opportunities come, and watch God use you to point others to Jesus.
Jesus ascended to heaven not to abandon us, but to reign at the Father's right hand, intercede for us, and send the Holy Spirit to live within us. What's better than Christ with us is Christ in us—empowering us to fulfill the Great Commission while we await His return. The call is urgent: we are God's plan to reach the lost, and we must live on mission with broken hearts for those who don't yet know Him.
