What's the difference between an opinion, a belief, and a conviction? When we study the early church, we see a community of disciples willing to die for what they believed. That's the essence of conviction. When you stand on the word of God, He empowers you with boldness to stand on your convictions!

Almost all of us have been tempted with self-promotion or pride. We feel like if we don't promote ourselves, we won't experience significance or meaning in our lives. The apostle Peter had a similar struggle with significance. In the Gospel narratives, we see a Peter with a lot of ambition. When we get to the book of Acts, however, things change. Peter was a "nobody" who became a "somebody" -- but not the way he expected. Peter found significance through humility and service. God invites all of us to walk the same path -- to find meaning and purpose not through self-exaltation, but through humility.

The book of Acts begins with an account of Jesus’ last days with his disciples and his ascension into heaven. While the ascension is only briefly described in Acts 1:9-11, these three short verses are profoundly significant for our understanding of the rest of the book of Acts. Because of the ascension, we know that Jesus is ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us and preparing a place for us with himself.

Have you ever been confused about who the Holy Spirit really is? We often hear the Holy Spirit referred to as an impersonal “it”, or as some kind of mysterious force. But the Holy Spirit isn’t an “it” — He’s a person, the third person of the Trinity. He is fully God, as the Father and Son are fully God. Tune in as Pastor Curt Taylor kicks off our new sermon series on the Book of Acts. The Spirit is our divine comforter and counselor, the one who glorifies Jesus in and through us.

Worship artist and author Christy Nockels joins us this Mother's Day. Christy shared a beautiful message on the power of legacy to transform lives. Your song is your legacy and it's meant to be lasting!

"Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
Matthew 16:24
