    "NO OUTSIDERS"

    Acts 10 In Acts 10, a Roman soldier and a Jewish apostle both receive a vision they didn't ask for, and nothing will ever be the same. The story of Cornelius shatters every assumption about who belongs at God's table, as the Spirit falls on the unlikeliest of guests.

    "I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THIS MAN MYSELF"

    Acts 25:23-26:29 Paul has been a prisoner for two years. His audience this Sunday is a king. Standing in chains before King Agrippa — outmatched in every visible way — Paul is finally given the floor, and he doesn't waste a second of it. What unfolds is one of the most compelling personal testimonies in all of Scripture: a former persecutor, face to face with royalty, making the case that Jesus is alive and that it changes everything. This is a sermon two years in the making.

    "MAKE UP YOUR MIND"

    Acts 5:17-42 The early church didn't slow down when things got hard. They doubled down. In Acts 5:17–42, the apostles are arrested, miraculously freed, arrested again, beaten, and told in no uncertain terms to stop talking about Jesus. They don't. What does it look like to make up your mind about what you believe and refuse to back down no matter the cost? This Sunday, find out.

    "OASIS IN THE DESERT"

    God Acts 8:26-31 This Sunday, Pastor Fred steps into the sandals of Philip — one of the early church's first deacons — and tells the story from the inside. First-person. No notes on literary genre. Just a man, a desert road, and a divine appointment that neither he nor the Ethiopian official ever saw coming. Come ready to be drawn in.

    "FORGED THROUGH THE FIRE"

    God Acts 4:23-36 When pressure rises, what does the Church do? In Acts 4:23–36, the early believers face real persecution, but instead of retreating, they pray boldly, are filled afresh with the Holy Spirit, and stand together with radical unity. Fear doesn't divide them; it drives them deeper into God and closer to one another. This week, we'll see what happens when God's people trust Him in the face of opposition, how His power shows up, and how a community transformed by the Spirit begins to live with open hands, holding nothing back.

    “OUR GOD OF POSSIBLE"

    God is our possible and involved in the details of our everyday lives. He meets us in restorative and beautiful ways in the book of Ruth. This is for everyone today as God challenges us, moves us and shares His redemption story for, in and through relationship.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHURCH!

    Acts 2:1-14 The waiting is over. The Spirit falls, the Church is born, and 3,000 people believe in a single day. But here's the detail we often miss: those 3,000 came from across the Roman Empire, and when they go home, they take the gospel with them. The mission doesn't just begin at Pentecost. It explodes.

    "IN OVER OUR HEADS"

    Acts 1:1-14 Before Jesus ascends to heaven, He makes an extraordinary promise: power is coming. He entrusts the mission to take the gospel to the ends of the earth to the twelve disciples, several key women, and 120 ordinary, largely unknown followers. Then He's gone. And they wait. What happens next will change everything.
