In this sermon on Acts 2:42-47, Pastor Patrick Austin revisits the four devotions of the early church—the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer—as Bay Leaf Baptist Church prepares to launch its second campus. Pastor Austin focuses specifically on devotion to the apostles' teaching, explaining that we must remain committed to Scripture because it reveals Christ to us, helps us in our journey toward Christ-likeness, and equips us for the mission of gospel saturation. When we remain devoted to the apostles' teaching, four significant things happen: our love for God deepens as we're continually reminded of His love for us; our walk with God matures as we submit to His Word; our boldness for God increases as we follow the example of the apostles; and God brings flourishing and growth to His church. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2, we are to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure."

In a recent Barna study, a mere one fifth of self-identified Christians believe that Satan is living and impactful. However, the Bible is clear that Satan is not only a real, living being, but he is also hard at work in our world seeking to wreak havoc and oppose God and those who follow God. In today's message, Pastor Austin unpacks the “ministry” of Satan so that we don't fall prey to the strategies of the Enemy.

Pastor Austin Medley shared a moving message titled "Wisdom from a Suffering Father," reflecting on Job 42:1–6 and the story of Job's faith through suffering. We were reminded that while we may not always understand God's purpose, we can trust it's for our good. Pastor Austin also touched on how suffering can blur our vision, making it harder to see God's plan, and encouraged us to stay grounded in faith and community. Drawing a contrast with Solomon's misplaced priorities, the message called us to focus not on answers, but on seeking God Himself, even in our pain.

Believing that God wants you act right before you can be right with him keeps curious seekers feeling like they can't measure up. It causes lifelong Christians to doubt their salvation as the end of their life is approaching. It fuels hateful rhetoric against people who don't fit a prescribed church mold.God doesn't begin with rules. He begins with relationship.To hear more from Pastor Austin's Sermon series on Titus check out our YouTube channel or other episodes in our series.

Salvation isn't the story of us flagging God down as we lie on the side of the road, it's the story of God's mercy seeking us out in the pit of sin, lifting us up, bandaging our wounds, and healing our hearts so that we, in turn, can extend compassion to others.This week, Pastor Austin continues the “Auto Response” sermon series, challenging us to wake up, recognize the needs around us, and take action.

There are a lot of misconceptions on the subject of angels. Many picture them as little chubby cherubs playing their harps in the clouds, but that could not be further from the truth. The Bible has a lot to say about this supporting cast of characters and their role in human affairs. In today's study, Pastor Austin addresses questions such as, “What are angels?” “What do angels look like?” “What do they do?” “Do they have bodies?” “Are there different kinds and ranks of angels?” and many more.
