What happened to the apostles after Luke set down his pen? In this message, Dr. John picks up where Part 1 left off, tracing the spread of the gospel across the ancient world, the fall of Jerusalem, and the final years of John — the last living eyewitness — whose writing from a Roman prison island brought the New Testament to its close. A sweeping and inspiring conclusion to the series through Acts.Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world's worst cannot impede God's best.

The book of Acts ends, but the story doesn't. In this message, Dr. John traces what happened to Paul and the early church after Luke sets down his pen — from the four letters written during Paul's Roman imprisonment, to his release, continued travels, and ultimate martyrdom. A fascinating look behind the scenes of the New Testament that brings the apostolic era to life.Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters.

March 8, 2026 In Acts 10, we see a powerful picture of God's plan to bring the good news of Jesus to everyone. Through the intersecting stories of Peter and Cornelius, God shows that He is always at work behind the scenes—often in ways we cannot fully comprehend. This passage invites us to surrender to God's plan even when we have doubts and to trust His leading in our lives. Our role is to point people to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to do the transforming work in their hearts.   About this Sermon Series: The book of Acts tells the story of how the exalted Christ sends His Spirit to empower His people to continue His work in the world.

Pastor Xavier Ries and Pastor Tony Scotti continue an examination in the book of Acts.

March 1, 2026 Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus stands as one of the most powerful stories of transformation in Scripture. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Saul's life was radically redirected when Jesus revealed Himself, turning an enemy of the faith into one of its greatest messengers. While some faith stories unfold in dramatic moments and others develop quietly over time, every life changed by Jesus reflects the same miraculous work of His grace. Saul's story reminds us that no one is beyond God's reach, and when we respond to His voice with faith and obedience, He transforms us and invites us into His greater purpose.

Acts 8:9–25 is a passage filled with dramatic moments – magic, questions about the Holy Spirit, and an unreached region turning to Christ. Yet beneath it all lies a clear message: saving faith is committed to celebrating Jesus, while superficial faith is concerned with celebrating self.

February 22 2026 The book of Acts shows us that the Holy Spirit is still actively guiding ordinary believers to share the message of Jesus in everyday moments. In Acts 8, we see how God used Philip's willingness to follow the Spirit's prompting to reach one person, reminding us that God's mission often unfolds through simple obedience and intentional conversations. It challenges us to reflect on how the Holy Spirit might be leading us to take our own next step—whether that means placing our trust in Jesus, stepping out to share our faith, or following Him in obedience through baptism.

Pastor Mike continues our series on the Book of Acts, speaking from Acts 18:1-17 - Corinth: God's Grace In Action

In Acts 8:1–8, persecution scatters the church, but what looks like defeat becomes the means of gospel expansion. The gospel turns obstacles into opportunities, using suffering to spread joy and salvation to new places. 

February 15, 2026 God doesn't waste our pain. He uses our suffering to display His grace and purpose. Through Stephen's story, we see that when we rely on the Holy Spirit, we can stand with courage even in opposition, trusting that God is near in our suffering and working through it to grow His Church. What looks like loss or tragedy can actually become part of God's bigger plan to shape us into Christ and spread the gospel.

In Acts 6:8–7:60, Stephen is mistreated and martyred, yet he responds by keeping his eyes on Jesus, surrendering his life, and blessing the people that harmed him. When we are hurt or persecuted, the gospel calls us to look to Jesus, surrender our desire for revenge, and extend blessing to those that burden us. Because of Jesus, enduring mistreatment with grace is not weakness – it's a supernatural reflection of Christ's love and witness to the world. 

As we continue our study through the book of Acts, we spent time looking at the Feast that the nation of Israel would celebrate every year. The better we understand the feast, the more we will understand the significance of the day of Pentecost.For more information visit ChristCommunity.Life

February 8, 2026 Just like the Super Bowl highlights a few players while dozens work faithfully behind the scenes, the church only thrives when everyone steps off the sidelines and uses their gifts to serve. In Acts 6, the early church faced growing pains and discovered that when each person stepped into their God-given calling—listening to needs, sharing responsibility, and serving where they were gifted—the church grew stronger, healthier, and the gospel spread further. The invitation for us is simple: don't just attend church, get in the game, because when every part of the body serves, God multiplies the impact.

Pastor Sam Luce continues our series on the Book of Acts, speaking from Acts 17:16-34

In this section of scripture, we see the very first conflict among the people of the early church. A conflict that could have caused division among those that Jesus died to bring unity to. The remedy, serve one another (deacon one another) as Christ has served them! As Christians we are to follow in the footsteps of the ultimate deacon, the suffering servant, who came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.

February 1, 2026 The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live boldly, not blending in but standing out so the world doesn't miss the message of Jesus. Through Acts 4, we see that boldness flows from being with Jesus—expressed in courageous testimony, fearless prayer, and generous, sacrificial living even in the face of opposition. As we spend time with Jesus and remain filled with the Holy Spirit, God calls us away from comfortable consumption and into courageous contribution for His mission.

In Acts 5:12–42, the apostles keep telling people about Jesus, even when they are arrested and beaten. In the midst of this, God keeps the message moving forward, and no one is able to stop the mission of God through His people. Here's what we learn from this: the advancement of the gospel is the evidence of the validity of the gospel!

Pastor Mike continues our series on the Book of Acts, speaking from Acts 17:1-15, A Faith that Thinks, Endures, and Hungers for Truth.

January 25, 2026 In this weekend's sermon, we continued the story of the early church living out their faith in everyday life. As Peter and John head to the temple to pray, God uses them to bring healing to a man who had been lame from birth—drawing a crowd and creating an opportunity to share Jesus. Acts 3:1–21 makes it clear the miracle isn't the main point—Jesus is. Peter redirects the attention to Christ, reminding everyone that the power comes through faith in His name. This passage calls us to live with obedience and availability, staying open to divine interruptions, continually checking our hearts, repenting, and finding true hope and refreshment in Him as we live a “follow me as I follow Christ” kind of life.

Pastor Mike continues our series on the Book of Acts, speaking from Acts 16:11-40, The Gospel Arrives in Europe.

This passage examines the story of Ananias and Sapphira, showing that the danger was not in their generosity but their hypocrisy – appearing faithful while hiding their sin before God. It reminds us that grace frees us from condemnation, not consequences, and that the gospel calls us to honest repentance, reverent awe, and a faith that is real, not a performance.

January 18, 2026 When people have big goals, they have a plan to grow. The same is true when God awakens the hearts of people, there is a plan for how the Church finds a rhythm and stride.
