In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas face a community divided between faith and unbelief. Some respond with worship, some with hostility. This sermon explores the irrationality of unbelief—how people can reject clear evidence of God's power—and contrasts it with the enduring witness of God, who patiently displays His truth and mercy through His servants. We reflect on what it means to trust a God who is faithful even when the world resists Him, and how we can stand as witnesses of His grace in a skeptical world.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Every one of us was born into a kind of arranged marriage — bound by covenant to God's law. The law was good and righteous, but our sinful hearts turned that holy relationship into one of frustration, guilt, and death. In this sermon by pastor Taylor, we'll hear the apostle Paul explain why our first “marriage” to the law could never bring life, and how through Christ's death and resurrection we have been freed to belong to a far better Husband.Now, joined to Christ by faith, believers are released from condemnation and empowered by the Spirit to bear the fruit of love and obedience that the law always described but could never produce. Come discover how dying to the law and living to Christ transforms duty into delight — freeing us to serve in the newness of the Spirit.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

The Church in Antioch was an example of a healthy church. Those who spread the gospel message in Antioch included the gentiles and many of them believed. Barnabas sought out Paul to aid him in the work there. The Christians there grew in maturity and when a need arose in Judea they send relief by way of Paul and Barnabas. What an example for us to follow.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 11:19–30Series:The Church on Fire

361 La iglesia de Antioquía fue un ejemplo de una iglesia sana. Entre quienes difundieron el mensaje del evangelio en Antioquía se encontraban los gentiles, y muchos de ellos creyeron. Bernabé buscó a Pablo para que lo ayudara en la obra allí. Los cristianos de Antioquía crecieron en madurez y, cuando surgió una necesidad en Judea, enviaron ayuda a través de Pablo y Bernabé. ¡Qué ejemplo para nosotros!Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

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. Daniel VenturaTexts:Ephesians 4:25–28Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 42Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

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

In this message we find the gospel going out beyond Israel to one who before was excluded from coming near to God because of he was a gentile and a bodily deformity. But those who were sinners and outcasts are the very ones that Jesus desires to seek and to save. They are the ones the ones He wants us to share the Gospel with.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 6:1–7Series:Español

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.

In From Duty to Delight, Pastor Daniel shows how the Sabbath moves us beyond mere obligation into joy. We are called to embrace our limitations, remember our redemption, and delight in God's gracious gift of rest. Far from a burden, the Sabbath is a weekly reminder that our identity is not in our work but in Christ's finished work.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

En Hechos 4–5, Lucas revela a la iglesia primitiva como el nuevo Templo viviente de Dios, edificada en unidad, generosidad e integridad. 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. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 4:32—5:11Series:Español

In Acts 4–5, Luke shows us that the Church is the one holy temple of God, where His Spirit dwells among His people. 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

Mr. Brendan Stamper preaches for us from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 with a sermon on Life Through Death. In this passage, Paul reminds us that our earthly bodies are like fragile tents—temporary and easily torn. But for those in Christ, death is not the end; it is the exchange of the temporary for the eternal, the weak for the glorious, the perishable for the imperishable.Time:EveningMinister:Mr. Brendan StamperTexts:2 Corinthians 5:1–10Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 22

En nuestro servicio matutino, el pastor Daniel nos traerá la Palabra de Dios del Salmo 46 con un sermón titulado El Señor del Anfitrión está con nosotros. 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". Este salmo levanta nuestros ojos del caos que nos rodea a la presencia inquebrantable de Dios, que es nuestro refugio y nuestra fuerza.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaRead by:Taylor KernTexts:Psalm 46Series:Español

Pastor Daniel will bring us God's Word from Psalm 46 with a sermon entitled The LORD of Host is With Us. We live in a world that feels anything but stable—nations rage, economies shake, and personal trials can leave us overwhelmed. Fear easily creeps in when life feels uncertain. But Psalm 46 gives us a battle cry of confidence: “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” This psalm lifts our eyes from the chaos around us to the unshakable presence of God, who is both our refuge and our strength.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Pastor Daniel preaches from Exodus 20:7 with a sermon titled More Than Words: Honoring God's Name. We may not speak God's name in vain aloud, but how often do our words, actions, or even silence dishonor Him? This passage reminds us that honoring God's name is more than careful speech—it involves our hearts, our words, and the way we live.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

El Pastor Taylor nos trae la Palabra de Dios de Hechos 3:1–4:31 con un sermón titulado Valentía del Espíritu. ¿Con qué frecuencia retrocedemos cuando surge el nombre de Jesús en una conversación? 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. Taylor KernTexts:Acts 3:1—4:31Series:Español

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.

The second commandment forbids us to bow down to golden calves or any other man made image, but how often do we decide that we will worship God our way, on our schedule and shaped by our tastes. In our study of Exodus 32, we confront Israel's sin at Sinai and descover how the Second Commandment calls us to true worship, which is patient, faithful, Spirit led and centered on Christ alone.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

We may dream of the "perfect church, but this portion from Acts shows us something far better: God's Beautiful Community, shaped not by human preference, but by His Word and Spirit. Together we'll consider how our worship should be anchored in Christ and His Word, found in gathering around Word, sacrament, prayer andfellowship, marked by awe, joy, and unity as a community that displays God's grace and draws others to Christ.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:Acts 2:42–47Series:The Church on Fire

In this message we are reminded that everyone worships something. There are so many things in the world that compete for our attention. Why should we worship the God of the Bible? Because He alone is worthy of our worship. He alone is God. Only He hears and answers the prayers of His people. Because He alone can protect your life. He alone can give you spiritual understanding. Everything else will leave you empty and wanting more.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:1 John 5:13–21Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 34Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

This is the beginning of in a new journey through the book of Acts from Acts 1:1–11 in a sermon titled “The Message that Changes Everything.” The world tells us that life is all about ourselves—but that pursuit always leaves us empty. In Acts, we discover a better way: a life filled with purpose, power, and peace in Christ. Join us as we see how Jesus calls His people to be His witnesses today.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Ever feel like life slams a brick wall into your plans? We all want to go our own way, but God gives something better: Ten commandments that aren't just rules—they're a lifeline. In this sermon, we explore how God's law exposes our need, points us to Christ, and anchors us in a community of love, justice, and peace. From Israel's story to our own, discover how the Spirit transforms hearts, frees us from guilt, and empowers us to live in grateful obedience. If you've ever wrestled with “Why can't I just do what I want?” this message will give you a new perspective on God's “No” and the life He actually designed for you.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.
