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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    The Big Picture | Acts 7 | May 3, 2026

    The Big Picture Acts 7 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: May 3, 2026 In Acts 6-7, we meet Stephen, the first Christian martyr, standing before the same religious council that condemned Jesus. Charged with blasphemy and facing death, he doesn't argue for his life. Instead, he retells the story of a pursuing God. From Abraham to Moses to David, Stephen traces the long thread of God's initiating grace through Israel's history, showing how every turn of history has been pointing to Jesus, the true and final Redeemer. Join Pastor Tommy as we consider the settled confidence of a man who knew to whom he belonged. Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit and unshaken, demonstrated a sturdy faith rooted not in religious systems, the law, or a temple made with hands, but in the God of glory who runs after rebel sinners and makes a way to reconcile them in Christ Jesus.

  6. The Gospel in Word and Deed | Acts 6 | April 19, 2026

    The Gospel in Word and Deed | Acts 6 | April 19, 2026

    The Gospel in Word and Deed Acts 6 verse by verse Teacher: Pastor Jim Thomas Date: April 26, 2026 In Acts 6, the early church was growing—but it was also experiencing some growing pains. Needs were rising, tensions were surfacing, and the apostles were faced with some critical leadership questions. What unfolded was not a crisis that weakened the church, but a moment that clarified it. Because as the gospel was lived out in both word and deed, something powerful happened— the church grew deeper, loved wider, served better, and shined brighter. This was not the picture of a perfect church, but of a real church, a community learning how to remain centered on God’s Word, how to care for its own people, and how to move forward together under the grace of God. And it raises an important question for us in our own day and time: What kind of church are we becoming? Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks the treasures of God’s wisdom to be found in Acts 6.

    From Scattered to Steadfast: Rejoicing in Suffering | Acts 5:12-42 | April 19, 2026

    Acts 5:12-42 From Scattered to Steadfast: Rejoicing in Suffering Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson Date: April 19, 2026 As we continue following the apostles and the growth of the early church in Acts chapter 5, we read amazing stories of healing, angels, and bold teaching in the public square. But we also encounter the jealousy of the Sanhedrin, brutal beatings, and, surprisingly, the rejoicing by the apostles in their suffering. Join Pastor Matt as we look at the arc of the apostles’ faith and consider how we hold together trust in a loving God and our response to hardship.

    Acts 5:1-11 Sermon: Taking Seriously the Holiness of God | April 12, 2026

    Taking Seriously the Holiness of God Acts 5:1-11 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: April 12, 2026 The story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11 is one of the most perplexing and unsettling passages in the New Testament. Set against the backdrop of explosive growth and radical generosity in the early church, this tragic account exposes the dangers of giving the appearance of godliness over actual godliness. Join Pastor Tommy as we explore what it means to live honestly before a holy God whose grace is more generous than we can imagine. Whether you've drifted into the exhausting patterns of spiritual pretending or lost your sense of awe before God, this passage is an invitation to step into the freedom that Christ offers to all who call on His name.
