When Waiting is a Good Thing

October 2, 2022 • Pastor Dillon Barber

Last week Brian got us started in Chapter 1 of Acts, where we saw Jesus prepare his Disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit, though which the good news of the gospel would spread from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth. Jesus instructed his followers to return to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. And then he floated away. Up into the clouds. One would think that Luke, the author, would be eager to jump into the next part of the story when the Spirit comes and all the amazing things that happen under the ministry of the Holy Spirit, but instead, we get this strange interlude between the Ascension and the day of Pentecost.

This whole story happens while the followers of Jesus were waiting. How many of us like to wait?

The Deadly Game of Deception

November 13, 2022 • Pastor Brian Long

Today in our story in Acts, God makes a dramatic point about how much the truth matters to him and to the health of all our relationships.

Sovereign Boldness

November 6, 2022 • Pastor Doug McNett

Jesus has saved us. He has chosen us. He calls us His royal priesthood. We are to serve Him, represent Him, and bring Him honor and glory. He has entrusted His good news about forgiveness and salvation, not that we would remain neutral to save face, but that others would come to know Jesus and be saved!

Resistance Requires Resolve

October 30, 2022 • Pastor Brian Long

God has called us to be his representatives, his ambassadors, his witnesses. God has given us that command. Our commitment to that command must be as resolved as these early Apostles. In the face of resistance, we must never be silenced. When resistance arises, we must remain resolved to advance the truth of Jesus.
