Acts (Part 1 // 2022)

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.

What Can One Person Do?

October 23, 2022 • Pastor Brian Long

As we step into chapter 3, we see an incredible story and demonstration of the power of the name of Jesus…and how it can heal body and soul.

Life Together

October 16, 2022 • Pastor Phil Christiansen

This morning we’re going to pick up right where Sam left off last week: Acts 2:42-47. So, open your bibles because it will be important for you to follow along. What we’re going to see is the beginning of the church, the assembly of believers who belong to Jesus, and the importance of Christian life being lived in community.

The Spirit-Filled Life

October 9, 2022 • Pastor Sam Parsons

In our text today in Acts, we will read through the events that took place on Pentecost. Before Pentecost, the river of God's Spirit blessed the people of Israel, and it was their very life. But after Pentecost, the Spirit's power spread to light the whole world.

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 Spreading Flame

September 25, 2022 • Pastor Brian Long

The book of Acts is in many ways the sequel to the Gospel of Luke. And it helps us see what some of the first Christians did and how the gospel and the church went from just over one hundred believers in and near Jerusalem to a movement whose central gospel message was being declared to some of the highest officials in Rome…and now today the spreading flame of the gospel ignited in Acts burns strong all around the world.
