    Keep The Door Open | Brian McCormack

    This week in Church on Fire, we're in Acts 15 with Pastor Brian McCormack. The gospel is Jesus plus nothing equals everything. The second you take out the "nothing" and add anything to it, you ruin the whole thing. That's what was at stake in the Jerusalem Council. Some believers were trying to load new converts with extra requirements to prove they really belonged. Peter, James, and the wider church pushed back and kept the gospel clear. When gospel clarity goes down, the song of the church shifts from "look at what he's done" to "what have you been up to?" Then something else surfaces. Acts 15 opens with the word "But," which means it's responding to what came just before, Paul and Barnabas returning to celebrate that God had opened a door of faith. Read that way, this whole chapter is about an enemy trying to close a door God has opened. When attacking the messengers didn't work, he moved to attack the message. Keep your Jesus, just add a few things. Four things kept the door open in the early church, and still do now: guard the gate, protect the treasury, empty the armory, hold the line.

    Stoned and Standing : Witness, Suffering, and the Cost of the Mission | Bill Dogterom

    Paul closes his first missionary journey by walking back through the same cities where he was beaten, driven out, and left for dead. His message to the new believers there is a hard one: we must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. In Acts 14:21-28, we sit with what it means to keep following Jesus after the initial excitement fades. We look at three places hardship tends to show up: pressure from the outside, tension inside the church, and the harder battle within our own hearts. We watch Paul entrust brand new, still-forming believers to the Lord. And we're pushed to think about what following Jesus looks like once it moves past Sunday and into how we spend our money, treat people, and handle disappointment on Monday.

    Jesus is... | Darren Rouanzoin

    In Acts 13, Paul preaches his first recorded sermon. He's tired, sick from the journey, and dealing with conflict in ministry, and he stands up in a synagogue full of people who already know the story. They've read the law and the prophets Sabbath after Sabbath. Then he gets to the end and reveals the one thing that changes how all of it reads: Jesus. We walk through Paul's sermon as he traces the whole Old Testament back to Jesus, the one every promise was pointing to the entire time. We talk about what it means to recognize him instead of choosing to unsee, what it means to call him Lord and not just clip him on when it's convenient, and why the peace and freedom we're after isn't found in performance or practices but in the person of Jesus. And it ends where the whole story has been heading all along. Not a God standing over you saying do more, but a Father who climbed the mountain himself and did not withhold his only Son. You were never asked to climb it. He already climbed it for you. Pastor Darren Rouanzoin, from our series Church on Fire: A Journey Through Acts.

    A Missional Church | Darren Rouanzoin

    In Acts 13, the church at Antioch is the most diverse leadership team in the early church, and it's about to send out its first missionaries. From this we pull three marks of a missional church: it worships before it works, it gives itself away, and it confronts the counterfeit. We look at how the Holy Spirit set apart Barnabas and Saul for himself, not for a mission field or a destiny, and what that does to our obsession with finding our calling and authoring our own story. We talk about being sent right where you already are, your cubicle, your carpool, your group text, not waiting on a passport moment. And we sit with Paul confronting Bar Jesus, and what it means to name the counterfeits that sound familiar enough to pass for the real thing. Garden Church | Church on Fire: A Journey Through Acts

    CRAZY PRAYER | Darren Rouanzoin

    Acts 12 gives us two apostles arrested by the same king. James meets a sword in a single verse. Peter, guarded by sixteen soldiers and bound in chains, is set free by an angel while the church prays through the night. One gets a sword, one gets an angel, and we live in that tension, because God doesn't always answer the way we hoped. In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Peter's rescue and gets honest about the kind of praying most of us have never been discipled into. We pray small, polite, vague prayers, sometimes out of unbelief and sometimes because we're tired of getting our hopes up again. But Jesus never rebuked a bold prayer. He rebuked small belief. Drawing from how Jesus taught us to pray in Luke, the neighbor banging on the door at midnight, the widow who won't quit, the settled son and daughter who come to the Father with confidence, we're invited to pray bold and pray specific. Vague prayers get vague answers, so we get specific and keep knocking on the door of heaven. Part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.

    Jesus Builds His Church | Ramin Razavi

    Jesus promised he would build his church, and Acts 11 shows us what that actually looks like in practice. The church at Antioch didn't have a famous founding pastor or an official send-off from Jerusalem. It was started by scattered people who'd watched their friend Stephen get stoned to death and then just kept going. And out of that, the first truly multicultural church was born. In this message, Pastor Ramin looks at what the Antioch church reveals about how Jesus builds something, and it's not primarily about programs, stability, or meeting people's needs. It's about forming missional disciples who live for something beyond themselves. We're in our series Church on Fire, a study through the book of Acts. Join us on Sundays in Huntington Beach at 9, 11, or 1, or in Costa Mesa at 10 or 12. Visit garden.church for more info.
