    En este mensaje, el pastor Taylor nos lleva por el impactante encuentro entre Saulo de Tarso y el Señor resucitado. Saulo, el gran perseguidor de la iglesia —el “lobo feroz” que respiraba amenazas y muerte— es derribado por la gloria del “León de Judá” en el camino a Damasco. Allí descubre que la verdadera justicia no se obtiene por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe en Cristo. Un relato poderoso de cómo la gracia de Jesús puede domar el orgullo humano y transformar a un enemigo en un siervo fiel.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 9:1–22Series:Español

    In this message, Pastor Daniel explores how the gospel transforms hearts that steal into hearts that serve. Drawing from the Eighth Commandment, he shows that God not only forbids stealing—but calls His people to faithful stewardship and selfless generosity. True obedience flows from gratitude for the eternal treasures we have by faith in Christ, as those once ruled by greed are renewed in Christ to give freely for the glory of God and the good of othersTime:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

    In this message, Pastor Taylor takes us through the powerful encounter between Saul of Tarsus and the risen Lord. Saul —the “Big Bad Wolf” who breathed threats and murder against the church— is struck down by the glory of the “Lion of Judah” on the road to Damascus. There he discovers that true righteousness is not earned by works of the law but received by faith in Christ. A powerful story of how the grace of Jesus can tame human pride and transform an enemy into a faithful servant.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 9:1–22Series:The Church on Fire

    The seventh commandment calls us to purity, joy and covenantal bliss. Society seeks to take what is serious and sacred and make it casual. Sexual sin like adultery promises sweetness but turns to wormwood in the stomach. It is the path of pain, bitterness and ruin. Instead, drink from the well of your own cistern. Be refreshed in her. She is a gift from God. This oneness points us to our union with Christ. Jesus gives himself up for his bride (the Church) to present her to himself pure and blameless. This is the pathway of joy.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Proverbs 51 Corinthians 6:12–20Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 41Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

    Jesus referred to his people as the branches of a vine. Only when those branches remain in the vine will it remain strong. The early church, like a vine, grew fast and became messy. Vines need a support structure if they are to grow well and produce much fruit. So too, it was with the early church. In the first few verses of Acts 6 we see the beginning of that structure through the teaching of the Apostles and the appointing of deacons to care for the needs of the poor.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Por medio de la resurrección de Cristo, Dios nos concede verdadera pertenencia, llamando a su pueblo a ser un solo cuerpo, no dividido por cultura ni preferencia. La generosidad se convierte en obra del templo cuando los creyentes comparten libremente, no por obligación, sino con corazones transformados. La integridad importa: la hipocresía debilita a la Iglesia, pero la verdad delante de Dios y entre nosotros edifica la morada de su Espíritu.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

This countercultural community is marked by unity, generosity, and integrity—signs of God's great grace at work. Barnabas models Spirit-filled generosity, while Ananias and Sapphira reveal the danger of hypocrisy in God's house. Ultimately, our hope is not in our efforts but in Christ, the truly whole man, who makes His church alive and holy.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 4:32—5:11Series:The Church on Fire

Vivimos en un mundo que siente todo menos estable: la ira de las naciones, las economías se agitan y los ensayos personales pueden dejarnos abrumados. El miedo se arrastra fácilmente cuando la vida se siente incierta. Pero el Salmo 46 nos da un grito de confianza de batalla: "El Señor de los anfitriones está con nosotros; el Dios de Jacob es nuestra fortaleza".

La valentía puede parecernos ajena en una cultura que valora la comodidad, la seguridad y la tolerancia. Sin embargo, en Hechos 3–4 encontramos a la iglesia primitiva en su infancia: débil en número, pero fuerte en el Espíritu. Lo que transformó a simples pescadores en testigos intrépidos no fue la personalidad, la posición ni el poder, sino la presencia del Espíritu Santo.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

    Pastor Taylor brings us God's Word from Acts 3:1-4:31 with a sermon called Spirit-Empowered Boldness. How often do we shrink back when the name of Jesus comes up in conversation? Boldness can feel foreign in a culture that prizes comfort, safety, and tolerance. Yet in Acts 3-4, we meet the early church in its infancy—weak in numbers, but strong in the Spirit. What transformed ordinary fishermen into fearless witnesses was not personality, position, or power, but the presence of the Holy Spirit.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.
