May 28, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 9:19–31, John 3:16–20
Truth seems to be on shaky ground in our culture, but in reality Truth is rock solid and found in Jesus! In our series through Acts we continue to see Truth change lives. In this message we explore the events immediately after Saul's conversion and see how truth brings illumination to who Jesus is and exposes darkness in the hearts of people.
Victory through Adversity
May 21, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 9:1–19
We all face adversity in our lives. Far more often than not, adversity is a blessing in our lives that provides for us opportunities to grow in ways we can't without it. If we are to grow through adversity there is a unique path we must take. This message explores the what we can learn from Saul's conversion story in how to have victory in adversity.
Kingdom Awareness
May 14, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 8:26–40
Because Christ followers are in this world but not supposed to be of this world, we are required to learn and grow in Kingdom Awareness. This message from our series through Acts looks at the example of Philip in order to learn how we can grow in being apart of the Kingdom of God on this earth.
Growth Through Trials
May 7, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 8:1–25
We are more often than not creatures of comfort. If we are going to grow as a person and in our walk with Jesus, we have to get uncomfortable and dependent upon God. It is usually during difficult trials that we grow the most. This message explores this truth in the early church.
Follow the Leader
April 30, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 6:8—7:60
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Imitation of Jesus is the greatest form of obedience, devotion, and love. As we explore the text about Stephen, it is important for us to see his devotion to and imitation of Christ. As a reward, he received the greatest joy: a look at the One for whom he is living for, standing at the right hand of God in approval of Stephen's faithfulness, no matter what!
Kingdom of Devoted Servants
April 23, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 6:1–7
As the early church grew, so did opportunities for attack and division. Today, many churches still face the same underlying spiritual attacks. the solutions is to devote ourselves to the Word and serving one another.
Unstoppable Kingdom
April 16, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 5:17–42
The forces of the world are certainly in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus. As Christians, we are part of an unstoppable kingdom but a worldly mindset in a Christian believer will keep us from realizing the true Gospel power of the Spirit of God that is within us. This message explores these dynamics.
Kingdom Authenticity
April 2, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 4:32—5:16
Kingdom Strength
March 26, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 4:23–27
In the face of pressure to compartmentalize our faith, the Church, now more than ever, needs to be bold as we prioritize the Gospel and living out our convictions as a Gospel-driven Kingdom people.
Conflict Arises
March 19, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 4:1–22
As the Church lives in Christ and is guided by the Holy Spirit, we will live by a good vs evil standard rather than a better vs worse mentality. When this happens conflict with worldly powers will arise. It is important for the Church to conduct ourselves in a manner that is worthy of Jesus and maintain devotion to Him and to His Gospel during these times.
Kingdom Conviction
March 12, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 3
To be a Kingdom people, we must live under Kingdom Conviction. We are motivated and driven by the message of the Kingdom and the calling of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. His heart must become our heart!
Kingdom Community
March 5, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 2:40–47
As God's Kingdom people, we don't live like the rest of the world. Our gathering of people should also be different than the rest of the world. A genuine people of God are a Kingdom people who live by Kingdom principles.
The Kingdom Charge
February 26, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 2:22–41
As Christians, we have a charge to the world around us. We have a duty and a motivation to advance the Kingdom. There are a lot of noble things, but the primary thing that is paramount is the Gospel!
Power to Proclaim
February 19, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Joel 2:28–32, Acts 2:1–21
As Christians, our influence is not found in ourselves, but in the Holy Spirit influencing us and then others around us. When we are not sure what to say or unsure if we are able to speak with meaning, the Holy Spirit empowers us to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus and bring others to truth and hope.
Depend on God
February 12, 2023 • Pastor Justin Turney • Acts 1:12–26
Too often we fail to realize just how vital it is to depend on God in this world. As the disciples began their earthly ministry without the physical presence of Christ, they displayed a contrast to what it looks like to depend on God and to depend on self.
