Watch live Sundays!
I Will Go To The Gentiles
Acts 18:1-28 It must have been frustrating for Paul to go to so many synagogues to teach Jesus from their own scriptures and to then have so many of his own people reject the one who he knew was the Messiah they had been waiting for, for a very long time. Thank God that Paul was willing to take that same message to the gentiles. Without his diligence and perseverance, we might never have received the gospel message or maybe…
Wash, Rinse and Repeat
Acts 17:1-34 One thing that you can say about Paul is that he was consistent. When he arrived in a new place, he looked for the synagogue and he went to services to spend time with his own people. He shared the gospel with them by reasoning from their own scriptures to prove Jesus was the Messiah they were waiting for. Some believed, many did not, but Paul tried over and over again to make sure that the Jews received…
What Can I Do To Be Saved
Acts 16:22-40 Knowing what is required to be saved is one of the most important answers every person needs to know in their lifetime. And God is amazing in that He loves each person so much and wants to see them saved so much, that He will cause amazing things to happen to make it possible. Scriptures Referenced Romans 3:23 Romans 10:9
Here We Go Again
Acts 15:36-16:24 Paul’s commitment and devotion to God is remarkable. The abuse that he endured just to make sure the gospel message made it to everyone, Jew and gentile alike was beyond what most of us could bear. Thankfully, nothing could stop him because he was powered by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, Only Jesus
Acts 15:1-35 One of the most important distinctives of the early church was the emphasis on the pure work of Christ. None of us could save ourselves and we certainly can’t save anyone else. Only Jesus could do it, so that’s what He did. Scriptures Referenced Romans 3:20 Colossians 2:8 Galatians 2:16 Matthew 24:4-5 Ephesians 5:6 Exodus 20:3
Speaking Boldly
Acts 14:1-28 Paul did a lot of travelling and it wasn’t easy, but God placed a burden in his heart to minister to the Gentiles. We can all thank God for doing this, but Paul went through many hardships and a great deal of suffering to get the message of the gospel to all of us. He did it by speaking boldly about Jesus.

Paul Turns to the Gentiles
Acts 13:1-52 It is hard to fault Paul for his love and determination to see the Jews saved. He was so devoted to God’s people. Fortunately for us, he was just as committed to seeing the gentiles saved. Scriptures Referenced Psalms 2:7 Psalms 16:10 Habakkuk 1:5
Give God the Glory
Acts 11:1-30, 12:1-25 The church has always struggled. Persecution, misrepresentation, deceit and just plain bad behavior have worked against the goals of the church. But one thing is true, God’s heart is that everyone would be saved and become a part of His church. There is just one problem, not everyone is convinced that they want to surrender their sin for His free gift of eternal life. And so, the same old agents work against the church. Scriptures Referenced Proverbs…
Listening to God
Acts 10:1-48 We all live our adult lives based on what we are taught as children, so it isn’t a surprise Peter would have struggled with relating to the gentiles of his day. He was trained from his earliest days that he was to be separated from the gentiles because he was supposed to live a holy life withing the Law of Judaism. You can imagine the shock that he must have experienced when God told him that he needed…
A Tale of Two Ministries
Acts 9:20-43 Two completely different men, pillars in the church, with two completely different ministries, sharing the common thread of telling the world about Jesus. Scriptures Referenced Mark 1:16-18 Acts 8:3-6
He is Risen
Psalm 22:1-28 Once again, we are looking at the event of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But we are looking with an eye towards the prophecies that God provided so that we would all know that Jesus is truly the Messiah the world was waiting for. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 49:10 Isaiah 53:6 2 Samuel 22:50 Exodus 12:3 Luke23:34 Numbers 24:17 Isaiah 53:10 Psalm 18:49 Luke 19:45-48 Matthew 24 Psalm 2:6 Ezekiel 3:4-6 Isaiah 11:10 Matthew…
How Were We Supposed To Know?
Matthew 21:1-10 The coming of the Messiah was prophesied long before the famous Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ, but scholars have shown that God’s plan for Jesus entry into Jerusalem to announce the coming of His Kingdom proves that Jesus arrived at the exact point in time God’s plans predicted His coming. For this Palm Sunday message, we look at some of the prophecies that predicted His coming so that we can rest assured that God has everything completely under…
