In this powerful follow-up to “Pentecost: The Forgotten Moment,” we shift our focus from the event to the people—those who responded with obedience, and those who didn't. Out of 500 who saw the resurrected Jesus, only 120 waited, prayed, and obeyed. These were the Remnant. This week's message challenges us to evaluate: Are we part of the 120, or are we clinging to comfort like the 380? Discover what it means to be a faithful, obedient remnant in today's culture. Learn to let go of the ropes, say yes to God's call, and pursue the fullness of the Spirit that was launched at Pentecost. It's not about numbers—it's about obedience.

Paul knew that trouble awaited him in Jerusalem. With so much trouble going on around us, it's easy to get discouraged. The Lord stands by us when we get discouraged by the troubles in this world. Scripture References: Acts 22:22-23:11, John 18:19-24, 1 Peter 2:18-23 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

On this special Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Alvin continues our series, The Character of the Holy Spirit, by teaching on the ease the Holy Spirit brings to the believer's life. This message covers how the Holy Spirit makes following Jesus lighter, the difference between weight and way in the Christian walk, why speaking in tongues is an easy (yet powerful) practice, the difference between vertical and horizontal tongues, and how God equips every believer with what they need.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor Jerry walked us through Acts 24, where Paul stood trial in an incredibly unfair situation—but still trusted that God was at work. Even while locked up, Paul didn't waste the moment—he shared his faith with people in power like Felix and Drusilla. We were reminded that following Jesus isn't just about showing up to church—it's about living a life that actually looks like His. Paul talked about some tough stuff—righteousness, self-control, and judgment—because people can't understand the good news until they see why they need it. The truth is, Jesus really is the only way, but that invitation is open to everyone. So who's the “Felix” in your life—curious, close, and just waiting for you to live out your faith boldly?|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry talks about the importance of sharing our personal stories of faith, like Paul in the Book of Acts, who boldly shared his testimony even in the face of violence and adversity. We all know that life can be unfair, even when we're trying to live faithfully, but Pastor Jerry encourages us to trust in God's truth, especially during difficult times. As a church, let's actively engage with God's Word and be courageous in sharing our faith with those around us!|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

The Holy Spirit gave multiple prophetic warnings that trouble awaited Paul in Jerusalem. Everyone was telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem, but Paul knew in the Spirit that he had to go there. Scripture References: Acts 21:1-16, Acts 13:4, Acts 20:22-23 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

In Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders, we see the hallmarks of a faithful ministry of following the Spirit, humbly serving the Lord and the church, proclaiming the gospel of grace, and protecting the church from false teaching.Scripture References: Acts 20:17-38, 2 Timothy 4:7, Matthew 4:19, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Revelation 2:1-6Pastor: Rob Orr

Have you had an encounter with God that has impacted and changed your life for the better, one or more experiences that have caused spiritual growth in your life? Sharing our personal spiritual experiences with others helps to encourage them that God loves them and is present and interested in our lives, ever willing to help us. - Lynette Kittle In this episode of Your Daily Prayer, Lynette Kittle invites listeners to reflect on how we can actively prepare our hearts for a deeper relationship with God. Using Acts 17:26–27 as a foundation, she offers four biblical ways to pursue spiritual growth: seeking God, reading Scripture, inviting the Holy Spirit’s teaching, and maintaining a life of prayer. If you've ever felt distant from God or longed for more personal connection with Him, this prayerful devotion offers practical encouragement and Scriptural truth to draw near and grow in faith. Topics covered: How to cultivate your heart for spiritual growth God’s desire for personal connection with us The essential role of Scripture and prayer Inviting the Holy Spirit’s guidance Encouragement for those feeling spiritually dry or distant Scripture References Acts 17:26–27 (NIV) “From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us.”

The church today is not all that different from the church in the days of Acts. Jesus is still working in his church. Scripture References: Acts 20:1-16, Galatians 3:28 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Michael shares his journey from rural Tennessee to the heart of Detroit, where he serves as a missionary. He reminded us of the power that our personal stories hold in sharing the gospel. Just like Paul in the book of Acts, we all have a story that includes who we were before Jesus, how we met Him, and who we are now. Michael emphasizes that our stories are not just about a one-time encounter with Jesus but about an ongoing journey of faith. Sharing our stories with others is a perfect way to invite them into the family of God. Whether your story is dramatic or simple, it has the power to impact others!|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

When a revival started in Ephesus, the sale of Artemis shrines dropped significantly. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines, stirred up a riot after seeing the loss of business. As God's kingdom impacts the culture, persecution against the followers of Jesus will increase. Scripture References: Acts 19:21-41, Psalm 115:4-8 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In yesterday's message, Pastor Jerry reminded us that the human need for approval is deep, but God's approval must be our ultimate aim. He walked us through Paul's painful rejection in Jerusalem, showing how Paul remained faithful despite misunderstanding and betrayal. Pastor Jerry emphasized that Paul's imprisonment led to some of the greatest growth in the early church and the writing of key New Testament letters. He challenged us to recognize how living for others' approval can compromise our faith and mission. Pastor Jerry encouraged us to root our identity in God's verdict of love and approval rather than the shifting opinions of others. This week, let's stay connected to God's approval by spending time in prayer, reading Scripture, and surrendering our hearts to Him each day.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

God was doing extraordinary miracles through Paul. But when the Seven Sons of Sceva tried to mimic Paul's authority, a demon possessed man overpowered them and wounded them. In response to this power encounter, many people of Ephesus confessed and divulged their practices and burned their books of magic.

Paul found some disciples in Ephesus. After explaining the way of God more accurately to them, they were baptized in the name of Jesus, and baptized with the Holy Spirit. Paul stayed for two years in Ephesus teaching the Word of God, so that all the residents of Asia heard the Word of God. Scripture References: Acts 19:1-10, Acts 18:21, Matthew 3:11 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Emmanuel talks about the importance of obedience to God's calling, even when it involves discomfort. We see this in Acts 21, where Paul is warned by the Holy Spirit through prophecy that he will face imprisonment in Jerusalem. Despite the warning, Paul chooses to continue his journey, demonstrating his trust in God and commitment to his calling. Through conversation with Tyler Workman (co-founder of Okoa Refuge), we hear about his experiences of facing significant challenges and opposition while serving in Uganda. Despite these difficulties, Tyler emphasizes the importance of obedience to God and the joy found in pursuing His glory. Both Paul and Tyler exemplify a steadfast commitment to their divine missions, trusting in God's faithfulness and prioritizing obedience over personal comfort.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

Paul ends his second missionary journey after leaving Corinth and passing through Ephesus. He leaves Priscilla and Aquila in Ephesus to help strengthen the church there. While in Ephesus, they meet a Jewish man named Apollos. After hearing him speak in the synagogue, they privately take him aside and explain God's message to him more clearly. Scripture References: Acts 18:12-28, 1 Corinthians 1:1 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || As Pastor Jerry led us through Acts 20:32-38, he focused on the importance of living with open hands and generous hearts. God's grace is the foundation for a life of humility, gratitude, and selflessness towards others. Using Paul as an example, Pastor Jerry highlighted the value of working hard while also caring for the weak and vulnerable. He reminded us that generosity is a natural response to God's generosity toward us, and that living with open hands, in all aspects of life — work, time, talents, and finances — helps advance the hope and love of Jesus. || ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

When Paul first came into Corinth, he was met with opposition. Paul was afraid, but Jesus appeared to him in a vision and said, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Paul discovered that community and friendship helped him overcome fear, and he stayed in Corinth for a year and a half. Scripture References: Acts 18:1-11 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Rachel emphasizes the importance of being proactive in our faith by activating our relationship with Jesus and doing the hard inner work required to stand strong against spiritual challenges. She reflects on the early church's commitment to the gospel and encourages us to adopt a "whatever it takes" mindset, even when faced with difficulties. Through the message, we're reminded to spend time in quiet reflection, ask ourselves hard questions, and seek community for accountability, reinforcing the idea that faith is an active pursuit.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

When Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy to come to Athens, he was provoked in his spirit because of the idolatry he saw in the city. Paul knew he had to start telling people about Jesus. Paul then found himself preaching on the Areopagus in Athens, a famous hill where philosophers taught and debated new ideas. Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection. Our message is a person, not a philosophy. Scripture References: Acts 17:16-34 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE ||Yesterday, Pastor David's message encouraged us to take time to shut off the noise of the world. When there's too much going on around us, it can be difficult to hear God's voice. Because of our Acts reading yesterday, we know that Paul took solitary time to be in tune with what God was saying. God's voice in his life helped him know where to go and who to minister to. In the same way, let's make sure to become still and quiet, listen, and hear what God is speaking to us. || ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In Pastor Jerry's message, he highlights the significance of the early church's impact on Ephesus, where Paul's teachings challenged the worship of idols. We're reminded that true transformation occurs not just through words, but through how believers live out the love of Jesus, reflecting it in their actions. He warns against idolatry — putting anything created by God in the place of God — and illustrates how people often seek fulfillment in things like wealth, career, or approval, which only God can truly satisfy. Pastor Jerry left us with this strong message, "If we are going to change the world, we must first be changed."|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

Paul began the second missionary journey by taking Silas to Derbe and Lystra, and there they met Timothy, a young disciple. Timothy joined Paul, and so did Luke, and the Holy Spirit led them to Macedonia to start a new work of God in Europe. Scripture References: Acts 16:1-15, 1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:5, 2 Timothy 3:14-15 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday morning, Pastor Emmanuel explained the dangers of using spiritual gifts for selfish ambitions, as shown by the seven sons of Sceva. While Paul experiences the miraculous power of God, the seven sons try to leverage the name of Jesus for their own gain, only to be humiliated and hurt by a demon. Through this message, we learned that true spiritual authority comes not from human effort or skill, but from being genuinely transformed by God and remaining in His presence. Relying on our ego and self-sufficiency will ultimately lead to failure, while surrendering to God through repentance unlocks true freedom.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

The Jerusalem council united over an agreement of how people are saved, but then Paul and Barnabas divided over a disagreement about John Mark. Scripture References: Acts 15:22-41, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 2 Timothy 4:11 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

As we read about how the early church wrestled with the issue of whether Gentiles who came to faith in Christ had to also keep any part of the law to be saved, we will see how to deal with false teaching in the church and why the truth that salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, gives God the greatest glory, and is the basis for true Christianity. Scripture References: Acts 15:1-21, Ephesians 2:8-10, Matthew 7:15, Matthew 16:6, Acts 20:28-31, Matthew 11:28-30 Galatians 5:1 Revelation 7:9-10 Amos 9:11-12 Romans 4:7-11 Pastor: Rob Orr

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry's message emphasized the importance of investing in others for God's glory, using Apollos as an example. Though a gifted teacher, Apollos lacked full understanding of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Priscilla and Aquila, having been mentored by Paul, graciously helped him grow in his faith. Pastor Jerry encourages us to mentor others, noting that our greatest contributions to God's kingdom often comes through those we invest in.

Paul and Barnabas faced many tribulations during their first missionary journey, including being mistaken as gods in Lystra, to then being stoned and left for dead. They continued to spread the gospel everywhere they went, while strengthening the souls of the disciples and appointing elders in every church. Scripture References: Acts 14:8-11, Acts 14:13-28, John 16:33 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

The gospel continues to spread, but not without persecution. The gospel is a polarizing message - some will believe, and some will refuse to believe. Scripture References: Acts 14:1-12, 2 Timothy 3:12, 1 Peter 4:12, John 15:20, 1 Corinthians 9:16, Luke 12:51-53, Matthew 10:23, 2 Timothy 3:10-17 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul preached the Word of God in the city of Antioch Pisidia. The Word of God spread throughout the whole region. Many believed, but some of the Jews rejected the Word and thrust it aside.Scripture References: Acts 13:42-52, Ephesians 2:8-9, Luke 9:5Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Join us for a powerful message on the core non-negotiables of the church—gathering, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. In this message, we dive into Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 11, exploring the significance of communion, corporate worship, and the deep koinonia (fellowship) we share as believers in Jesus Christ.Key Takeaways:-The importance of gathering as the body of Christ-Communion as a sacred act of remembrance-Living in fellowship through prayer and shared life-Devotion to the Apostles' teaching and obedience to God's WordWhether you're celebrating, struggling, or searching for deeper faith, this message is an invitation to connect with God and His church. If you're feeling led, consider taking your next step—whether in prayer, baptism, or community engagement.Scripture References:Acts 2:42-471 Corinthians 11:23-29

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry walked us through Acts 18, where Paul faced both opposition and breakthrough in Corinth. We saw how Paul didn't give up when things got hard — he trusted God's presence, protection, and promises to keep moving forward. This was all so people close to him could encounter Jesus! Pastor Jerry reminded us that our mission field starts the moment we step outside the doors of the church, and that even when resistance comes, God is with us every step of the way.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor David focuses on Paul's experience with the idols in Athens and his call to the people to worship the one true God. These Athenian idols aren't much different from the idols in our own lives - whether it's career, relationships, or hobbies. Pastor David encourages us to recognize these idols and confront them with the help of prayer, Scripture, and wise counsel. The message challenges us to live with conviction, just as Paul did in Athens, adapting to culture without compromising the truth of the gospel.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

Barnabas and Saul began the first missionary journey by traveling to the island of Cyprus. There they had an encounter with a magician and a proconsul. The magician was blinded and the proconsul came to the faith in Jesus. Scripture References: Acts 13:4-13 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

The church in Antioch was led by the Holy Spirit. That church set apart Saul and Barnabas for the work that God was calling them to do. Years later the church in Antioch could look back on all the good things that God had done through them, because they listened to and obeyed the Holy Spirit.
