Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Ray
In today's message, Pastor Ray unpacked how the church in Acts 15 overcame conflict on the path to unity at the Jerusalem Council. First, we explore the cultural and historical context that led to the dispute before moving to the defense of Peter, Paul, and James for what God was doing among the Gentiles. We then unpacked James' Holy Spirit-directed decision that would promote unity between Jews and Gentiles. The legalists should lighten up and not lay too heavy a yoke on the Gentiles and the converts should be sensitive concerning their habits. Finally, we consider the direction-- what Holy Spirit might want us to focus today with "these three things:" Seek unity, Avoid offense, and Maintain a holy lifestyle. -Featuring Ray Grubbs

What a powerful message on the power of earnest prayer! Pastor Greg draws on the account of Peter's miraculous jailbreak in Acts 12 to show how power leads to persecution but in the midst of it, we have the promise of peace in the presence of Jesus. Our faith-filled, earnest prayers avail much (Jas. 5:13)! -Featuring Greg Sexton

Tune in for 2,000 years of church history where Michael shows how we, as modern day Christians, can trace our family tree to the book of Acts and how this should impact how we think and act.

Tune in as Pastor Adam unpacks Acts 10 with a study on how God speaks and how He wants us to follow (obey) him.

Simply "open your mouth" to speak. -Featuring Adam Sexton

Under the approval of a Pharisee named Saul, a great persecution against the church arose in Acts 8. God used the persecution as a catalyst to fulfill the words of Jesus that the disciples would be his witnesses to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8). Listen as Pastor Bryan unpacks this "Church on the Move" and gives insight into the approach of Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch. He then provides a practical method for remembering God's plan for salvation that can be used as we are witnesses in our day. -Featuring Bryan Ost
Pastor Roger breaking down Psalm 23 verse by verse to reveal God's complete provision for your life!

“Long before there was a holy place, there was a holy people called by a holy God.” This is the main idea of Pastor Loïs' message discussing the speech of Stephen, the Church's first martyr. In this message is a warning against idols, resisting the Spirit, and failing to recognize God's work today. We have to "keep the heart" so as to walk in step with God. -Featuring Loïs Renaud

What would it look like if the church prayed for boldness? In his sermon, Pastor Greg looks at Acts 4 and the boldness of Peter and John to witness of the Gospel. They had been with the Master, had been given a Mission, preached a powerful Message, and used effective Methods. If we're in Christ, we have the same Holy Spirit that empowers us with BOLDNESS! -Featuring Greg Sexton

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Bryan
In his sermon, Pastor Bryan explores the gap between what we hope for and what actually happens as he unpacks the healing of the lame beggar in Acts 3. In the time of "not yet," are our eyes on our situation or are we looking at God's goodness and glory? We must have the priorities straight, trusting His sovereignty, timing, and His faithfulness to His promises. "What would it look like if naturally supernaturally we walk in step with the Holy Spirit?" -Featuring Bryan Ost

Pastor Adam closes out Acts chapter 2 speaking about characteristics of fellowship and devotion to prayer. God is calling us to be the church away from church by devoting ourselves to genuine community. We aren't meant to be introverted but intentional in commitment to living life together and sharing our faith with others. And it's time to step up our prayer life by leading ourselves, our families, and others. -Featuring Adam Sexton

Today we explore the first sermon of the church, the fiery sermon of Peter. We see him, empowered by the Spirit, truly catching men as 3,000 people are added to the church after being cut to the heart. Pastor Ray unpacks this sermon showing how God attested to Jesus being Christ and Lord through works, resurrection, exaltation, and Spirit. When confronted with these truths, we should be cut to the heart and join the crowd's desperate plea, "What shall we do?!" The Good News: Jesus did it all! We simply call on him for rescue. -Featuring Ray Grubbs

As we celebrate Pentecost, Pastor Loïs unpacks the promise of the Father, the coming of the Holy Spirit. He encourages us to have an open mind about the Holy Spirit as we seek to understand what the Bible teaches. Three spiritual signs accompanied this event as the disciples were empowered to prophesy in foreign languages understood by the multi-cultural crowd in Jerusalem. Today, the Holy Spirit is still working in the church. We see Him moving as we're bold in witness, devoted to church life, and empowered for holy living. The bottom line: Be hungry and thirsty for more of the Spirit of God! -Featuring Loïs Renaud

In today's sermon, Pastor Ray looks at the great character of heart of the widow in Luke 21:1-4. We must be careful to beware the scribes to not act like them, see the widow as Jesus did, and observe the heart to ensure it is fully surrendered to God. Jesus sees through the quantity of our gifts to the quality of our hearts. Our hearts should be fully invested in God, no matter our economic circumstances. -Featuring Ray Grubbs

Hold firm to the truth in Scripture and experience the blessings of the Lord. -Featuring Adam Sexton
