    This week we explore the powerful message of unity and reconciliation in the body of Christ. Invisible walls and comfortable tribalism can stifle the transformative power of the gospel. To be a part of God's diverse, unified community we are called to step out of our comfort zones, break down barriers, and embrace the radical peace and kinship that Jesus offers.

    This week we explore the profound transformation that occurs when we become Christians. We are more than "just improved" but brought from death to life. Through the radical nature of God's grace and mercy, offered when we are rightly subject to His judgment, does He give us a new life and purpose in Christ.

    This week in our Ephesians series, we see how our self-perception shapes the way we live. Rather than having an identity built from the world's perspectives, we must recognize we are treasured by God, and empowered by His mighty strength.

    Acts 10 has a story of the radical inclusivity of the Gospel where Peter and Cornelius's unlikely encounter challenges deeply ingrained cultural and religious boundaries. We see that true acceptance and salvation cannot exist without the specific revelation of Jesus. We are challenged to consider hidden biases and boundaries and urged to move beyond mere tolerance to genuine community by building a counter-culture of grace that transcends societal divisions.

    We explore the story where Saul, an accomplished Pharisee in a world obsessed with performance and achievement, was confronted on the road to Damascus. Here, this unlikely persecutor of the early church, is chosen, transformed, and sent as a beacon of hope to the entire world. This message challenges us to embrace our own transformation and mission by recognizing God's grace doesn't just save; it sends us into the world to introduce others to Jesus.

    In this sermon, we explore the powerful story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8:26-40—a story of God breaking down racial, cultural, and spiritual barriers to bring the gospel to the margins. Discover how God's invitation extends beyond our human boundaries, how He prepares hearts long before we speak, and how His mission leads us to people we often overlook. This message will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and follow the God who crosses every border to seek and save the lost.

By addressed a potentially divisive and distracting situation, head on, they elevated service to others to a spiritual calling. It isn't just charity—it's an invitation to participate in God's love in action. See how this ancient wisdom applies to our modern world, challenging us to rethink our approach to leadership, community, and faith.

    Does your generosity reflect the radical grace of God?

    This sermon explores the transformative power of generosity as a reflection of God's radical grace. The early church in Acts was a vibrant example of how sharing resources, time, and love can powerfully testify to the reality of Jesus Christ. Unlike the deceptive giving of Ananias and Sapphira, true generosity stems from a heart fully surrendered to God, not seeking personal recognition but glorifying Him. We are called to live out a countercultural generosity that not only meets needs but invites others to experience the abundant love of God.

    This sermon explores the theme of boldness in the face of opposition, drawing from Acts 4 where Peter and John stand before the Sanhedrin. The sermon emphasized that true boldness comes from a deep conviction of the truth, empowerment by the Holy Spirit, and trust in God's sovereignty. Peter and John's trusted in the truth of the gospel. We should be challenged to cultivate boldness by being rooted in Scripture, wrestling with doubts, relying on the Holy Spirit and trusting in God's sovereign plan.

    This sermon explores the profound message of healing and transformation, where we see Peter and John heal a man who has been lame from birth. This miracle serves as a powerful illustration of the gospel's invitation to grace, not just as a means of coping with life's challenges but as a call to complete restoration. We begin by seeing that true healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—begins with recognizing our need and turning to Jesus, who offers more than temporary relief. Acts 3 reminds us that the gospel is about transformation, repentance, and the ultimate restoration of all things.

    Are we a church that truly invites?

    In this powerful exploration of Acts 2, we're challenged to reimagine what it means to be an inviting church. The early Christian community didn't just attend services; they were devoted to each other, to God's truth, and to prayer. This devotion wasn't casual—it was all-encompassing, transforming their relationships and daily lives. We're called to ask ourselves: Are we truly devoted in the same way? Are we building a church that invites people not just to attend, but to belong? In a world plagued by loneliness, the church has a unique opportunity to offer genuine, Christ-centered community. This isn't about making surface-level friends, but about deep fellowship rooted in our shared commitment to Jesus. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to prioritize presence over busyness, to treat church like family rather than an event, and to create a space where no one feels unseen or alone.

    Answers to questions about ethics, morality, or life are based on one underlying question, "How do you know what is right?". For Christians, that come from God through His inspired word, the Bible. Scripture may not have an answer for every modern day matter but where it speaks, it is true. Understanding how to apply God's Word in modern situations, is essential to living as disciples of Jesus.

    Whether it is because of uncertainty, or we do not see God's presence, we do not like to wait on Him. However, taking matters into our own hands is not the answer. Instead, we need to remember God is faithful, wise and good. He always keeps His promises. We see that fulfilled in Jesus. So we must trust Him and believe in Him, regardless of circumstances.

    Jesus not only challenged His closest followers, but He also reached across cultural divisions. John 4 is a remarkable story because He is speaking alone with a Samaritan woman of questionable reputation. He looks beyond the superficial social divisions to deal with heart matters.  He is showing us that finding our identity in Him and not some group or tribe should motivate us to love anyone we encounter.

    Jesus spoke challenging words to His closest disciples, including Peter. Like Peter, we should not fall away or resist because we are being challenged. Instead, we lean into the offense with the understanding that Jesus is exposing idolatry and leading us to grow in faith. We persist because offense is where God can do some of His deepest work in us.

    Culturally, we are motivated to outdo each other, driven by individual pride. Not so in the kingdom of Heaven. To become a citizen of God's Kingdom we must become His children, living with a recognition we are dependent on Him. That fosters a life of humility, love, and a wiliness to lavish forgiveness of others.

    Opposition to Jesus grows. The Pharisees, together with their rivals ,the Sadducees. ask for "one more sign" from Jesus to prove He is who He says He is. Rather than comply, He challenges their inclination. Once alone with His disciples, He asks "who am I?" Peter, responds "The Christ". Peter responses as he does, because God revealed that to him. We declare Jesus as Christ because the Lord is at work in our hearts today.
