    Sermon - Pastor Tim Johnson | Acts 13:42-52

    Witness: The Power of Receiving the Gospel Scripture: Acts 13:42–52 | The Avenue Community Church What happens when the Gospel is proclaimed? Some receive it with joy. Others reject it. But one thing is certain—the message of Jesus demands a response. In this powerful and thought-provoking message, we continue exploring the foundational pillars of The Avenue Community Church, turning our attention to Witness—our calling to make Jesus known and extend God's shalom to the world. Journeying through Acts 13:42–52, we witness Paul and Barnabas boldly proclaiming the Good News in the face of opposition, jealousy, and persecution. As some reject the message, others embrace it with overwhelming joy, revealing a life-changing truth: Genuine faith doesn't simply acknowledge Jesus—it transforms our hearts, shapes our obedience, and overflows into a powerful witness. This message challenges us to wrestle with some essential questions: Have we truly received the Gospel, or have we simply become familiar with it? Does our faith produce joy and obedience, even when life gets difficult? Are we willing to stand firm in biblical truth while extending genuine love to those who believe differently? What are we doing today that could produce a harvest for God's Kingdom ten years from now? Through biblical teaching, practical challenges, and a compelling reminder of the power of faithful perseverance, we're invited to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to living as bold witnesses of His life, death, and resurrection. The Gospel was never meant to stop with us. It was meant to transform us and reach the world through us. 🎧 Tune in, be encouraged, and discover what it means to receive the Good News with joy, stand firm in truth, and live as a faithful witness for Christ.

    Sermon - Pastor Tim Johnson | Psalm 145:1–2

    What does worship look like when the music stops and Monday morning begins? In this message from The Avenue Community Church, we explore Psalm 145:1–2 and a conviction that shapes everything: God is worthy of our whole lives. Continuing our series on the church’s foundational pillars, this message challenges us to exalt God in gathered worship, in our everyday routines, and in the difficult seasons when praise doesn’t come easily. Drawing on David’s declaration of praise and Jesus’ picture of hidden treasure, we’re invited to consider what holds the highest place in our hearts. Discover how your work, relationships, and daily decisions can become expressions of worship; why gathering with other believers helps us remember God’s goodness; and how your testimony can become someone else’s invitation to encounter Him. When prayers remain unanswered and circumstances feel overwhelming, we can still bring our worries to God with thanksgiving. His goodness gives us a reason to praise—even before our situation changes. Whether you’re spiritually weary, navigating uncertainty, or hungry for a deeper faith, join us for a call to fix your eyes on Jesus and make worship the rhythm of your life. Every day. In every season. Forever and ever.

In Acts 11, we see how ordinary believers faithfully sharing the gospel led to the birth of a thriving Christian community. Discover how God calls us to build communities shaped by the life of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit—and why our mission is about more than simply being good people; it’s about making Jesus known.

    Sermon - Gustavo Zetina | Philippians 2:1-11

    In this powerful and heartfelt message from Philippians 2:1–11, we learn a revealing a life-changing truth: True Christian unity isn't achieved through our own efforts—it flows from the humility of Jesus Christ.Through personal vulnerability, biblical truth, and a passionate challenge to the Church, we are reminded that following Jesus isn't about proving we're right, defending our status, or elevating ourselves above others. It's about laying down our pride, putting others before ourselves, and allowing the Gospel to transform how we see and treat people—even those with whom we disagree.

    Sermon - Pastor Tim Johnson | Acts 2:42

    What does it really mean to be changed by the gospel? In this message, we are reminded that Jesus doesn’t simply save us from sin—He is continually shaping us to become more like Him. God’s love and His transforming work are not opposites; they belong together. We are fully loved, fully forgiven, and still being made new. Looking at the early church in Acts 2, this sermon challenges us to rediscover a life of true devotion: devotion to God’s Word, prayer, community, mission, and one another. Following Jesus requires more than belief—it calls us to surrender, obedience, and a willingness to let the Master continue His work in us. If we want to see renewal in our lives, our church, and our city, we must keep trusting Jesus, depend on the Holy Spirit, and commit ourselves to becoming a people who live for the shalom of our neighbors and the glory of God.

    Sermon - Pastor Tim Johnson | John 16:5-16

    In this powerful message, Pastor Tim calls the church to a deeper dependence on the Holy Spirit—and to a renewed trust in Jesus at the center of everything. We need wisdom to know when to stay, when to step out, when to speak, and when to surrender our preferences for the sake of the “we.” But we cannot navigate that tension on our own. We need the Spirit of God as our guide, teacher, advocate, and source of power.
