Acts: The World Turned Upside Down

Now It's Our Turn

June 25, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 15:19, Matthew 28:18–20

After 2000 years of ups and downs and life-changing moments throughout the church, it's our turn. We get to be a part of something bigger than us. To be a part of God's Kingdom on earth. What if we took seriously the importance of being a part of the Body of Christ to love one another and share the Gospel? It would be life-changing for so many. It's Our Turn!

You're Almost There

June 18, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 17:16–34

What's the difference between knowing about Jesus and following Jesus? A lot. As the series is drawing to an end, we look at the part where Paul comes up to Athens and teaches about the resurrection of Jesus on Mars Hill. Paul shares with him that he wants all men to repent and turn to Him. Have you? Will you? Will you help others?

Scatter to Gather

June 11, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 11:19–26

When you think about some of the tough moments in being a Christian, oftentimes God takes the difficult moments and turns them into great moments. God used the story of Stephen to move the church to the ends of the earth. If people share the Gospel in the midst of persecution, what does it really mean to be Christian then?

A Transformed Life

June 4, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 9:1–31

As we near the climax of the series, we look at the incredible journey that Saul thought he was on to what he really began. Are we expecting for God to do the unexpected?

The Testimony

May 28, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 6:8–15, Acts 7, Acts 8:1–3

Oftentimes we don't have to worry about persecution where we live. But are we ready for when that time comes? We all have a testimony. The question is, do we live out our testimony for the glory of God to show the world the hope we have in Jesus?

The Heart's Motivation

May 21, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 5:1–11

As we have seen multiplication, generosity, and unity, today we experience the first subtraction. How often do we pretend to be something we are not to get what we don't deserve? As we follow Jesus, we are to be Holy and blameless before our Father and one another.

A Church Prayer

May 14, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 4:23–34

When you think of following Jesus and being a part of a church, did you ever think you would sign up to be persecuted? Probably not. As we follow Jesus, the enemy is fighting back. We have to wonder if we would pray for God to give us boldness and then live in it?

Identity in Christ

May 7, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 4:1–22

Do we really know who we are? Who we trust? Identity is found when one comes to Christ. When one comes to Christ, we are to live in boldness to the world. He is the one we are to adore and proclaim. The question is, do you?

Church DNA

April 30, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 2:42–47

If you asked 100 people to define the church, you will get many definitions. In this message, Luke shares with us the DNA of the church and how they lived out their faith together! Although they did this is the 1st century, can that still be done today? Should it be done today?

Birth of the Church

April 23, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 2:14–41

Wow! Can you imagine being there the day the church was born? Peter preaching, knowing what he did during Jesus' arrest. People speak in languages they have never spoken before. And 3000 people come to know Jesus as Lord! What a moment. What a movement it's been ever sense.

The Move of the Holy Spirit

April 16, 2023 • Nate Hultz • Acts 1:1–11

What is the point of the Resurrection of Jesus? As we begin this journey Acts, we see the point of why Jesus rose from the dead. Yes, to free us from sin and to live with him for all eternity, but to show the world how to begin living in freedom now...not someday. Join us on this journey.
