Acts chapter seven serves as a pivotal point for the spread of Christianity globally. Stephen, a member of the serve team in the early church is a great example of lay person who faithfully serves.

His influence leads to his defending his action by a powerful sermon, that highlights two crucial points: Israel’s historical resistance to God’s prophets and the inadequacy of the law to save due to its inability to transform hearts.

GO! Trusting God For A Miracle

May 18, 2024 • Pastor Dave Koop • Acts 12:12, Acts 12:7–11, 1 Peter 5:7, Acts 12:24, Acts 12:5

The Book of Acts is a book of miracles - God’s power in action. To act means to do something, to carry out, to move, behave, or exert power, and that is exactly what we see in today’s message in Acts chapter 12.

The Legacy Of A Courageous Mother

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Dave & Cheryl Koop • Exodus 2:1–10, Acts 2:39, Hebrews 11:23, Deuteronomy 6:5–7, Acts 7:20–22

In the Bible, one Mother stands out for leaving a legacy of extraordinary courage and unwavering faith. Her name is Jochebed, the mother of Moses, who had just a few short years with her son, yet the impact she left is still felt today. In the face of Pharaoh’s ruthless decree condemning Hebrew male infants to death, Jochebed defied the tyrannical order and entrusted her son’s fate to the hands of God. Her life still speaks today as a testament to the power of a mother’s love and faith that can shape a nation.

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Dave Koop • Luke 10:5–9, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9–10, Acts 11:26, Acts 11:9

In Acts Chapter 11, the early church begins to see a clearer picture of God’s purpose for salvation. Not only was the gospel of Christ for every nation, whether Jew or Gentile, but God’s plan included bringing every nation, tongue and tribe together in Christ.
