    Full of It | Acts 9:36-43

    Kids on the playground know how to land an insult: "You're full of it!" It's funny because it's true — of all of us. The question is what the "it" is. The Book of Acts keeps using one peculiar word to describe people: full. Some are filled with jealousy, deceit, or even the schemes of Satan. Others are filled with the Spirit, with faith, with grace and power. Luke wants us to see that we are not neutral containers. Whatever fills the heart eventually shapes the life. This Sunday — Mother's Day — we'll meet a remarkable woman named Tabitha. Luke calls her something he calls no other woman in the New Testament: a disciple. And he tells us she was "full of good works and acts of charity." Her sewing needle, of all things, became evidence of Pentecost. When she dies, the widows of her town gather around the apostle Peter, weeping and holding up the tunics and garments she made for them. Her spirituality had taken material form — in cloth and thread and quiet, daily mercy. What happens next is one of the most astonishing scenes in Acts. Peter kneels, prays, and speaks two words that echo Jesus' own voice raising a little girl in Galilee: "Tabitha, arise." The risen Christ is still at work — through dependent prayer, through ordinary disciples, through resurrection power already breaking into the present age. Tabitha's story is not just a miracle account. It is a portrait of what the Spirit-filled life actually looks like when it takes root in a real human being. This is a fitting passage for Mother's Day, because Tabitha represents the kind of holiness our culture rarely celebrates: unnoticed, embodied, hidden, faithful. The kind that shows up in meals made, clothes mended, prayers prayed, children nurtured, and saints quietly sustained. The kind that looks like Jesus — because it has been filled with Him.

    The Only Name | Acts 4:1-12

    This Sunday we will be continuing our series through the book of Acts with a Palm Sunday message called "The Name" from Acts 4:5–12. It's a passage where the apostle Peter stands before the most powerful religious court in Israel — the same court that condemned Jesus just weeks earlier — and makes a claim so bold it still echoes today: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." One name. Not because God is narrow — but because God is specific. He didn't offer a menu. He threw a rope. And that rope has a name. But here's what makes this story so challenging: the people resisting Jesus in Acts 4 aren't pagans. They aren't people on the fringes. They're the most devout, most educated, most "spiritual" people in the room. They reject Jesus not because they lack evidence — the healed man is standing right in front of them — but because His authority threatens their control. Peter and John are standing before the same court that just weeks earlier tried and executed Jesus. And possibly, the same crowd. The crowd that shouted "Hosanna!" on Sunday was crying “Crucify him” by Friday. They turned on him fast. They turned on Him because He wasn't the kind of King they wanted. They wanted a Savior — someone to fix their problems, defeat their enemies, and make their lives better. What they got was a Lord who wanted to redefine everything. And that was too much. It's easy to shake our heads at those people from two thousand years ago. But if we're honest? That same tension lives in us. We're happy to pray for Jesus' help with our marriages, our anxiety, our finances, and our kids. But when He asks for the keys — when His authority touches the places we've been protecting — something in us pushes back. We want Jesus as a consultant, not a king. So this Palm Sunday, we're going to sit with an uncomfortable but important question: Where am I asking Jesus to help me — while resisting His right to lead me? And we're going to discover something beautiful on the other side of that question: the authority we're afraid of is the very authority that heals. The name we resist is the only name that saves. Join us this Sunday morning at Laureate Park Elementary. Whether this is your first time or you've been with us since the beginning, this is a Sunday you don't want to miss. Come and see what the name of Jesus has to offer — not just your Sunday, but your whole life. Here is our Outline: "The Name" Acts 4:5–12 | Palm Sunday I. The Debate: "By What Name?" (vv. 5–7) II. The Declaration: "This Is the Name" (vv. 8–11) III. The Demand: "There Is No Other Name" (v. 12) IV. The Decision: Where This Meets Us

    The Beautiful Community | Acts 2:41-47

    Every once in a while we experience a moment when everything feels exactly the way it’s supposed to be. Maybe it’s a dinner table with friends where the conversation flows and no one wants the evening to end. A Saturday morning with your kids where the house is full of laughter and no one is rushing anywhere. A moment at work when the team is working together and what you’re doing actually feels meaningful. For a brief moment, everything fits. Everything feels whole. And something inside you whispers: This is how life is supposed to be. But those moments never seem to last. The dishes pile up. The emails return. Relationships strain. The world intrudes. And yet those moments awaken a deep longing within us. They feel like glimpses of something we were made for—a glimpse of the world as it was meant to be. That is exactly what Luke shows us in Acts 2:41–47. After the fire of Pentecost—after the Spirit descends, Peter preaches, and three thousand people believe—Luke pauses the story. He pulls the camera back and shows us something remarkable: a portrait of life as the Spirit begins to put the world back together. What we see is more than a report about the early church. It is a glimpse of restored humanity. In this short passage we see a community shaped by God’s Word, marked by deep fellowship, overflowing with generosity, and filled with joy. People gather around Scripture. They share their lives together. They hold their possessions loosely so that no one among them is in need. They worship together, eat together, and praise God together. For a brief moment in Jerusalem, the world begins to look the way it was meant to look. And that vision speaks directly to a longing many of us carry today. One of the most common reasons people leave churches is simple: “We didn’t find community.” But Acts 2 shows us something important. Real community is not something we simply find—it is something we build together as we share life under the grace of Jesus. The beauty of Acts 2 is not the result of perfect people. It is the result of a powerful Savior. The same Jesus who died and rose again sends his Spirit to change hearts, draw people together, and form a new kind of community in the world. This Sunday we will explore what this beautiful community looks like—and how the gospel creates it. Join us as we look at Acts 2:41–47 and consider how the Spirit of Jesus is still restoring people and building communities that reflect the world as God intended it to be.
