  1. Always Within Reach | Acts 12 | June 28, 2026

    Always Within Reach | Acts 12 | June 28, 2026

    Always Within Reach Acts 12 Teacher: Dr. Phillip Nation Date: June 28, 2026 God always has us within reach. Neither the suffering inflicted by the world nor our prideful sin can separate us from His sovereign rule. In every instance of life, God is at work even though it may seem to be “behind the scenes.” The work of God in all circumstances happens by His providential interventions, through the spiritual realm of angelic work, and by inviting us to join via our own obedient actions. God is close to the righteous so that they are afforded peace, answered prayer, and involvement into His mission. Tragically, for the prideful and the lost, God’s nearness will result in their judgment. Acts 12 teaches us that both those persecuted for righteousness and those who are arrogant in their self-sufficiency are equally under God’s sovereign rule and will experience His power in one way or another.

    A Distinct Accent | Acts 11:19-30 | June 21, 2026

    A Distinct Accent Acts 11:19-30 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: June 21, 2026 In Acts 11:19-30, the gospel reaches Syrian Antioch, the third-largest city in the ancient world. Believers scattered by persecution arrived, speaking the name of Jesus, and the hand of the Lord was with them. Something about their words and their lives set them apart, a spiritual accent the city had never heard. Their way of life was so unusual that the pagan city of Antioch had no category for them. Likely as a derogatory term, believers were called Christiansfor the first time. Join Pastor Tommy as we consider what made this young church so unique: what they said, how they lived, and who they turned to. These believers were so captured by Jesus that their whole way of life pointed to another home.

  3. When Religion Gets in the Way | Acts 11:1-18 | June 14, 2026

    When Religion Gets in the Way | Acts 11:1-18 | June 14, 2026

    When Religion Gets in the Way Acts 11:1-18 Teacher: Pastor Tom Yarbrough Date: June 14, 2026 As we continue the narrative of the conversion of Cornelius the Gentile and his household, the final scene takes place back in Jerusalem, where not everyone in the church is pleased with Peter’s mission to Caesarea. We are introduced to a group of strict Jewish believers, known as the ”circumcision party”, who take exception with Peter’s fellowship with Gentiles, whom they consider unclean. This group identifies themselves primarily through their own adherence to Jewish custom rather than their new life in Christ. Peter’s response is to give a reasonable and orderly defense that not only shares the new spiritual vision he has been given but also leaves no room for doubt that this movement is the work of the Holy Spirit as confirmed by the words of Jesus himself. How can this passage encourage us today when we too may be tempted to cling to any identity other than a gospel identity? Join Pastor Tom Yarbrough as we study through Acts 11:1-18 together.

    A Light So Lovely | Acts 10 | June 7, 2026

    A Light So Lovely Acts 10 Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson Date: June 7, 2026 Throughout the book of Acts, we witness the wildfire-like growth of the Church; beginning in Jerusalem and spreading first through Judea, and reaching even into Samaria, a people long at odds with Israel. The Gospel is proclaimed, and the Samaritans believe and receive the Holy Spirit. In Acts chapter 10, Luke will recount an even more remarkable moment. The Holy Spirit brings together Cornelius, a Roman centurion who is a God-fearer, and Simon Peter, who is still a rule-follower despite his faith in Christ. God is going to use this meeting to fling wide open the door of the Gospel to the Gentiles, revealing that His invitation extends to all nations, tribes, and tongues. Join Pastor Matt as we study this encounter and its world-changing impact. The Gospel is for all people, the Holy Spirit is on the move, and every believer is invited to take part in what God is doing.

  5. Built Up and Growing Up | Acts 9:31-43 | May 31, 2026

    Jun 1

    Built Up and Growing Up | Acts 9:31-43 | May 31, 2026

    Acts 9:31-43 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey  Date: May 31, 2026 In Acts 9:31–43, Luke pauses to take the pulse of the early church, and he reveals a flourishing community: at peace, being built up, walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and multiplying. Then he takes us to two bedsides. In Lydda, Peter heals a paralyzed man in the name of Jesus. In Joppa, a beloved disciple named Tabitha has died, and Peter kneels, prays, and calls her back to life. Two towns witness the power of the risen Christ, and they turn to the Lord. Join Pastor Tommy as we trace two movements of the Spirit in this passage: a church being built up and disciples growing up. Jesus keeps his promise to build his church, working through Peter and through the quiet, costly mercy of a woman known for her needle and thread. Growing in the likeness of Christ is not something impressive or polished, but a life slowly transformed by walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

    Blinded By the Light | Acts 9:1-31 | May 24, 2026

    Blinded By the Light Acts 9:1-31 Teacher: Pastor Tom Yarbrough Date: May 24, 2026 The extraordinary conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus is the most dramatic and well-known in all of history. Indeed, this undeniable encounter with the resurrected Jesus transformed the early church’s most dangerous enemy into its most influential missionary and the writer of nearly half the books in the New Testament. But as extraordinary as Saul’s experience was, his conversion was comprised of the same necessary elements as our own. What do all believing Christians have in common with Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus? A conversion that includes a context, a cause, and a consequence.

    May 18

    Oh, The Places You'll Go | Acts 8:26-40 | May 17, 2026

    Oh, The Places You'll Go Acts 8:26-40 Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson Date: May 17, 2026 What happens when Philip—once serving tables, now faithfully sharing the good news— is led by the Holy Spirit into the quiet of the desert, where he meets a traveler from a far-off land? Is it just a chance encounter, or is God at work, carrying the message of Jesus to the very ends of the earth? Join Pastor Matt as we walk through Acts 8:26–40 and consider how the Holy Spirit may be guiding our own lives— leading us into meaningful moments where we can share Christ with others.

    The Mission of the Spirit | Acts 8:1-25 | May 10, 2026

    The Mission of the Spirit Acts 8:1-25 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: May 10, 2026 Before Jesus ascended, He promised His disciples that the Holy Spirit would empower them to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. In Acts 8:1-25, we arrive at a turning point in that mission. After the martyrdom of Stephen, fierce persecution in Jerusalem scatters the church, and what should have ended the mission instead ignites it. The gospel breaks into Samaria, a region long held in spiritual darkness and separated from the rest of Israel by nearly a thousand years of ethnic and religious bigotry from both Jews and Samaritans. There Philip preaches Christ, demons flee, the broken are healed, and the city is filled with joy. Join Pastor Tommy as we walk through this turn in the story by considering four figures: Saul the persecutor, Philip the refugee evangelist, the Samaritans longing for hope, and Simon Magus, the magician who craved power. In each of them we see something of the Spirit's mission to point people to Jesus, to convict of sin, to comfort the weary, and to renew the most unlikely heart.
