Part 2: Cut to the Heart

Acts 2:22-37

October 13, 2019 • Pastor Luke Uran

It’s Pentecost, and Peter definitely has the crowd's attention. Newly filled with the Holy Spirit, he explains exactly who Jesus is, and the heavy cost of sin. The people’s stunned response then was the same as ours today: What shall we do?

Part 1: Wait for It

October 6, 2019 • Pastor Luke Uran

Pastor Luke opens a four-month series covering the book of Acts. In the opening scene, Jesus instructs the Apostles one last time before he leaves Earth. Nothing much — just go change the world. And, he adds: Soon you'll have help like you never imagined. What do Jesus’ instructions look like for us today?

Part 3: The Model

It’s THAT section — the one every modern congregation reads and then says, "Why can’t our church be like that?” And then we think about all of the legitimate obstacles. Was the early church an unattainable ideal for us today? Or, as we dig into this passage together, might we discover something we’ve been missing?

Part 4: The Means to an End

October 27, 2019 • Pastor Josh Pardee

Christianity is not a relationship with a book. The Bible points to life's ultimate meaning: a relationship with Jesus and a response to the power found in his name alone. As the apostles Peter and John discovered, this radically changes the way we see and interact with the world.
