How do you know if the voice you're hearing is actually God?We're surrounded by voices telling us what to believe, how to live, who we are, and what we should do. But not every voice deserves influence in your life.In Acts 13, Saul and Barnabas encounter a sorcerer who attempts to keep a governor from hearing and believing the Word of God. It's a powerful picture of the spiritual battle that happens when the wrong voice tries to fight what God is about to change.In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches us how to recognize God's voice, test what we're hearing against Scripture, guard what we allow close to us, and replace the enemy's lies with the truth of God's Word.You can't always control the voices around you—but you can decide which voice you listen to.And when the wrong voice gets loud, remember: the answer isn't a louder you. It's more of Him.The sermon specifically teaches that the closer a voice is, the greater its influence, and that while we can't control every voice around us, we can control which voices we allow to remain close.GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

What do you do when you watch God answer someone else's prayer while you're still waiting on yours?Acts 12 gives us one of the hardest pictures of faith in Scripture. Peter is miraculously rescued from prison—but just before that, James is killed.Why did God rescue Peter but not James?In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler tackles the difficult question: Is God still good when He doesn't do what we prayed for?We'll discover that God's goodness isn't measured by our circumstances or outcomes. God sees the entire story when we can only see the chapter we're living in.You'll also learn how to break toxic patterns that have been passed down through generations, stop living for people's approval, and trust God even when you don't understand what He's doing.God is still good—even when you don't understand.The sermon emphasizes that God's goodness isn't determined by circumstances but by His character, and later explains that we judge God from our current “chapter” while He sees the entire story.GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

What do you do when God asks you to move—but you don't feel ready?In Acts 10, Peter receives a vision he doesn't understand and is told by the Holy Spirit to follow three strangers without hesitation. Peter didn't have all the answers. He didn't know what was coming next. He simply had to trust God and move by faith.In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler reminds us that you don't have to feel ready for God to use you.God may tell you to move before He tells you how.He may ask you to step outside your comfort zone, change the way you see something, or trust Him with something completely outside your control.You may not feel ready—but God is already preparing what's next.Key Scriptures:Acts 9–10John 14:12Romans 12:2Matthew 7:16–20Isaiah 49:6Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

God has always desired closeness with you. In this message, Pastor Bobby begins The Connected Life sermon series by exploring Hebrews 10 and the incredible access we have to God through Jesus.Because of Jesus, we don't have to earn our way into God's presence. We can come boldly, hold tightly to our hope, and trust that God is faithful even when life makes that difficult.

What do you do when God asks you to do something that doesn't make sense?In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Bobby Chandler walks through Ananias' encounter with God and shows us what faith really looks like.Faith isn't pretending you have all the answers.Faith is choosing to obey even when you don't understand.If you've ever questioned God's timing, struggled with His direction, or wondered why He allowed hardship into your life, this message will encourage you to trust Him one step at a time.Sometimes God doesn't explain everything.He simply says..."I will be with you."Key Scriptures* Acts 9* 2 Corinthians 5:7* Matthew 7:7–8* John 16:33* Proverbs 3:5–6Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Have you ever wondered why God closed a door you desperately wanted to walk through?In this message from Acts 8–9, Pastor Bobby Chandler unpacks the dramatic conversion of Saul and reminds us that God's interruptions are often His greatest acts of love.Sometimes the very thing we're praying for would actually lead us toward destruction.God sees what we cannot see.No matter where you've been or what you've done, you are never too far gone for God's grace.Key Scriptures* Acts 8–9* Luke 15* Genesis 3* John 9Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Pastor Bobby sits down with Pastor Matt Chewning of Netcast Church in this special AWKN podcast.

Why do we keep going back to the same struggles we thought we had already overcome?In this message from Acts 8, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches about Simon the Sorcerer and what happens when old desires, bitterness, jealousy, and hidden struggles remain in our hearts.Giving your life to Jesus happens in a moment—but transformation is a process.You may still hear the old voices. You may still face temptation. You may still struggle with things from your past. But just because you hear the old voice doesn't mean you have to obey it.God wants your whole heart.Stop hiding what needs healing, surrender it completely to Jesus, and allow Him to transform you from the inside out.Key Scriptures:Acts 7–8Mark 1:22–26Mark 5:6–7Matthew 7:21Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Pastor Bobby walks through 1 Kings 8 and the dedication of Solomon's temple, exploring what it means for God to dwell among his people. Solomon's prayer reveals a God who keeps his promises across generations, hears the prayers of sinners and foreigners, and can't be contained by any building or tradition. The temple wasn't made glorious by its cedar and gold but by God's presence filling it, and without that presence it was just a structure. Jesus becomes the fulfillment of everything the temple pointed toward, the true dwelling place of God among us.

Revival always faces opposition.When God starts moving…
the enemy fights back.In this powerful message through Acts chapters 2–4, we see revival explode across the early church as thousands come to Jesus — and immediately, persecution, pressure, and spiritual attacks begin.But here's the truth:You can't stop revival when God is behind it.If you've felt spiritually dry, attacked, exhausted, or discouraged… this message will remind you that the Holy Spirit still moves, prayer still changes things, and revival still belongs to God.Key Scriptures:
