In this message from our Church Reimagined series, Pastor Ron Cathcart walks us through Acts 26, where the Apostle Paul shares his testimony before King Agrippa. Paul's mission—given directly by Jesus—was to open eyes, turn people from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. That calling hasn't changed in 2,000 years.We'll explore:The Reality of Spiritual Warfare — The unseen spiritual battle is just as real as what we can see (Ephesians 6:12).The Enemy's Tactics — Who Satan and his demons are, where they came from, and how they work to blind and deceive (Isaiah 14, Revelation 12).Our Role in the Battle — Sharing the gospel, living a set-apart life, and standing firm in the truth of Jesus (Acts 26:18, 2 Corinthians 4:4).How to Prepare — Putting on the armor of God daily, resisting the enemy, and staying alert (Ephesians 6, 1 Peter 5:8).At 2Rivers, we believe Jesus is the lead story. Our mission is to help people become passionate followers of Him. This message will encourage you to stand strong, share your faith, and live in the light of Christ—even in the middle of spiritual opposition.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Thirty Two

The first believers could not stop talking about Jesus (Acts 5) - what is wrong with us? Why aren't we quick to share the love of God with others?

In this sermon, Pastor Jason delves into the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr and his powerful sermon from Acts chapter 7. Listeners will explore the parallels between Stephen's trial and Christ's crucifixion, the significant shift in the early church's mission from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, and the polarizing nature of the true gospel. Pastor Jason emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between religious adherence and true gospel transformation, urging believers to reflect on their own faith journey.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Twenty Three

On a scale from 1 to 100, how much faith do you have? Or is that the wrong question to ask? Ever felt like you need more faith? What if the amount of faith is not the most important metric? Today's study celebrates the value of “tiny faith.” Acts 12:1-25 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this powerful message from Acts 5, Equipping Pastor Josh Gatewood unpacks the boldness of the early church in the face of opposition. Highlighting themes of human dignity, bold gospel proclamation, and supernatural power, Josh challenges us to move from self-centered jealousy to Christ-centered contentment—and to live with a joyful willingness to suffer for the name of Jesus. Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message invites you to consider: How has Jesus changed you?

In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Acts 21:26-22:29 as we look at Paul's arrest in Jerusalem and how traditionalism can keep us from Jesus.

We've seen it hundreds of times. When news breaks about a product having problems, the marketing department responsible for selling that product often times goes silent. Should the church be just the opposite? Should the message of the Gospel be given extra support during times of crisis? What do you do when things go wrong? We'll explore this question in our study today. Acts 12:1-25 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Two options: First, describe a mountain peak based on looking out a window at it. Second, describe that same peak having just climbed it. When we're asked about our faith, do we stumble into the former, completely missing out on the power of the latter? How do we combine our experience with known truth? We'll look at these questions today. Acts 11:1-18 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Stories of turmoil are typically easier to deal with when they're on the “other side of the fence.” But can it be that when the troubles are elsewhere, the power of God is not as intimately known? Can we know the power of God without going through the fire? We'll look at these questions in this study. Acts 9:1-19 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“How to overcome exclusion and division in 30 seconds or less.” Clearly not going to happen, unless we know the true source of unity. In this study, we look at the life of a Bible character who was excluded in many ways, and yet ended up in joyful victory. Acts 8:26-40 Learn more about your ad choices.

In modern times, we've become accustomed to being bombarded on a daily basis with scam attempts. Would it surprise you to know these date back to Bible times as well? We'll expose one such scam artist with the objective of learning the difference between “Feeling Good” and “Feeling God.” Acts 8:9-25 Learn more about your ad choices.

In your own quiet honesty, where would you place yourself on a scale from “Top of the World” to “Top of Crash and Burn?” In our study today, we'll look at one life that could be described as “ending badly” but in reality, is pivotal to our faith today. Is our assessment of failure always reliable? This important question is addressed today. Acts 6:8 - 7:60 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Perhaps you've seen them. Just do a search for “Flowers Growing in Concrete.” Amazing, beautiful plants in what appears to be the worst possible conditions! Is it possible that your situation is so bad that growth is completely ruled out? In today's study will look at ways growth can happen in spite of harsh conditions.

“God knows best.” Easy to say, but sometimes really hard to live with. If we're sick, we want to get better. We “know” that's what's best for us. How do we deal with God appearing to have a “better best” for us? We'll wrestle with this question today. Acts 5:12-16 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sickness comes in many shapes and sizes, perhaps first physically, but also emotionally, and even financially. So how does Scripture reach out to those who are sick? What are realistic expectations regarding healing? And is healing only limited to the miraculous? We'll look at those questions today. Acts 5:12-16 Learn more about your ad choices.

“Tell me something about your church.” If someone walked up to you and asked that question, what would your first thought be? Would it be something positive? Or would it be that one thing that continually gets under your skin? How would Barnabas respond, and what are the implications for us today? We'll look at these questions in this study.

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

Shaken any buildings lately? Our study looks at a passage where prayer made the building shake. Is this particular type of prayer specific to that period of time? Or should we look at why our prayers today may not feel that powerful? The early church is again our focus. Acts 4:23-31 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's a question that may be in the back of our minds as we interact with society. How bold can I be regarding my faith before I become a target? And how do I respond when I cross that threshold and find myself under attack for what I believe? We'll explore these questions in our study today. Acts 4:5-22 Learn more about your ad choices.

“Never waste a good crisis.” Likely your prime energy is to avoid any form of crisis. Certainly, a wise goal. But the arrival of crisis is often out of our control. So how do we rise above fear? How do we advance the kingdom in times of trouble? Far from theoretical, this study will use the book of Acts to look at a recent, real crisis. Acts 3:1 - 4:4 Learn more about your ad choices.

To the casual observer, the one may look just like the other. The “Temple of Man” is big and grand, and in the book of Acts, the “Community of Jesus” was as well. But the differences are far more important than the similarities, and we'll look at both in this study. Acts 2:42-47 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Have you ever participated in a warm, embracing, affirming conversation with a group of church members about the role of the Holy Spirit, or is the topic avoided?

If you only remember 1 of the 5 points of the Gospel, the point to remember is Jesus' name.

Is Christianity part of a well-rounded life, something that makes our time here richer? Or is there a more intrinsic reason, something that should be woven into our 24/7, giving us purpose? The question of “why” is front and center in this study. Acts 1:1-11 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What if we changed the way we thought about the book of Acts? Perhaps you think of Acts as accounts of historical events from which we can learn and be inspired. In today's study, we're going to be challenged to pull away from a “then” mindset, and adopt a “now” mindset, maybe even finding ourselves in the middle of the action.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --The Gospel vs. The Empire: Why Jesus, Not Caesar, Is the Real Good NewsSetting the Stage: A Young Church in a Pagan CityThe Apostle Paul's letter to the Thessalonians is one of his earliest writings, addressed to a young and courageous church in the city of Thessalonica. Located in Macedonia, this city was a thriving cultural center in the Roman Empire. It was full of competing loyalties:Civic Assemblies that promoted public allegiance to Roman ruleJewish communities rooted in Old Testament traditionPagan mystery cults that worshiped local gods like Cabirus and DionysusImperial cults that demanded loyalty to Caesar, who was honored as “Lord” and “Savior”This cultural mixture made Thessalonica a spiritual and political battleground. It was in this context that Paul boldly preached a new message—one that didn't fit into any existing category.Caesar and the Counterfeit GospelTo understand the revolutionary nature of Paul's gospel, we need to grasp how the Roman Empire presented its rulers.Julius Caesar (100–44 BC) was a military genius and political reformer. After his assassination, the Roman Senate declared him divine—Divus Julius.His adopted son, Caesar Augustus, used that claim to establish himself as the “Son of God.” He was also called “Savior” and “Lord”, and he was praised for bringing peace to the empire—the Pax Romana.In 9 BC, an inscription from Priene declared Augustus's birthday “the beginning of the good news (euangelion)” for the world.This was the Roman Empire's version of the gospel: salvation through the emperor, peace through power, and a kingdom built by human might. It was political propaganda wrapped in divine language.Paul's Radical Message: The True GospelIn direct contrast, Paul brought a different kind of good news to Thessalonica.“For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true…”— 1 Thessalonians 1:5 (NLT)This message centered on Jesus—not Caesar—as the true Son of God, the real Savior, and the eternal King. Paul wasn't just preaching theology; he was making a political and spiritual declaration. His message was:Not about the birth of Augustus, but the death and resurrection of Jesus (Acts...

Pastor Brian teaches on different levels of elevation in Jesus.

Jesus' apostles could have only had questions… nothing was clear and they were patiently waiting. But waiting for what? They were waiting for Jesus, risen and alive, to make things right and restore His kingdom. How long would they have to wait? What would waiting look like? Very likely, none of them could have even imagined.

Paul recounts the dramatic encounter with Jesus which resulted in his radical transformation as a believer in Jesus of Nazareth, the Jewish Messiah. [29 minutes]
