In this passage we see that faith in God is the secret of enduring through the stormy seas of life. Paul had a faith in the true God, a faith that blessed others, a faith that took God at his word, a faith that was not fatalistic, and a faith that was compelling. Pastor David Horner preaches from Acts 27.

In Acts 25–26, Paul stands trial before Festus and then Agrippa. In doing so, he appeals to Caesar and it becomes clear that what Jesus said to him will come to pass: "you must also testify in Rome" (23:11). God was at work in the details, directing the steps of Paul's life, as he was simply a faithful witness for Christ. Pastor Doug Horner preaches from Acts 25 and 26 in a message titled, "The Gl...

When Paul stands trial before Felix and reasons with him about the Gospel, Felix puts him off. Felix serves as a picture of what it looks like to put Jesus off in our lives, something we should avoid doing at all costs. Pastor David Horner preaches from Acts 24:1–27.

In Acts 23, as Paul faces a trial before the Sanhedrin, we see God's hand providentially at work behind the scenes to get him to Rome. It is in Rome, Jesus says, that Paul must testify to the facts about him. Pastor Doug Horner preaches a message titled, "God's Providence."

Paul was ready to give a defense for the hope that was within him when the opportunity arose. He did so by simply sharing the story of Jesus in his life: who he was prior to Jesus, how the power of Jesus transformed him, how the people of Jesus surrounded him, and how the purpose of Jesus fueled him. When he was persecuted he responded wise as a serpent but innocent as a dove. In this message from...

When Paul came to Jerusalem, he found himself misunderstood by both friends and enemies. If we follow Christ, we too will find ourselves misunderstood, but what matters it that we respond like Jesus. Pastor David Horner preaches from Acts 21:17–40.

In Acts 21, Paul heads for Jerusalem, guided by the Holy Spirit, despite the struggles he knows are ahead. In this message, Pastor Doug Horner encourages us that the Spirit confirms God's perfect plan, the Spirit declares God's desires for our lives, and the Spirit readies us for what is to come.

As Paul says farewell to the Ephesians elders, we are reminded that life is full of goodbyes. In light of goodbyes, we should go all in for Jesus, live with conviction, step up to the plate, weep and rejoice, recognizing that in Christ, goodbye is merely goodbye for now. Pastor David Horner preaches from Acts 20:17–38.

A young man named Eutychus once fell asleep as the apostle Paul prolonged his speech late into the night. But, he experienced the power of God in his life when Paul raised him up from the dead. In this sermon from Acts 20:1–16, Pastor Doug Horner encourages us to be awake on God's team, awake in God's power, awake to God's journey, and awake in God's light.

As the Gospel went out in Ephesus it was disrupting the idols of the culture. This came to an explosive head when a silversmith named Demetrius incited a riot in the city. Through the Gospel, God is disrupting the idols of the human heart. We see this in Acts 19:21–41 as we observe three things: the characteristics of idols, the confrontation of idols, and the crumbling of idols. Pastor David Horn...

The city of Ephesus was a place where the occult had significant influence and where 7 sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were attempting to harness the power of Jesus' name to perform exorcisms. In a world where occultic practices have become a norm for many (astrology, tarot cards, crystals, wicca, etc.), we must remember that there is a spiritual realm in which evil forces are active and...

The mission of the church is to WIN, BUILD, and SEND people for Jesus Christ. In a word: discipleship. In this section of Acts we see Apollos, Aquila and Priscilla, and Paul living this out. They show us that we must have the humility to be discipled, that everyday people can be disciple-makers in everyday ways, and that we must always be seeking to win people for Christ. Pastor David Horner preac...

In Acts 18, Paul goes to Corinth and despite opposition, he refuses to quit doing the work God has called him to. In this message, Pastor Doug Horner preaches from Acts 18:1–23, showing us that it's always too soon to quit because God surrounds us with devoted helpers, because opposition means opportunity, because God gives us His words of assurance, and because God will reveal His will.

In Acts 17:16–34, Paul preaches at the Areopagus in the religious and philosophical city of Athens and as he does, he meets people where they are, learns their story, tells God's story, and entrusts the results to God. Pastor Trey McClain preaches from Acts 17:16–34.

In Acts 17:1–15, Paul and Silas are described as men who are turning the world upside down. But how? It was the power of the Scripture which Paul proclaimed that had the power to do such a thing. Your world can be turned upside down by the story of Scripture, through the study of Scripture, and in the sharing of Scripture. Pastor David Horner preaches from Acts 17:1–15.

Paul and Silas proclaimed the Gospel even when they were imprisoned in Philippi. The result was a miraculous earthquake and the dramatic conversion of the Philippian jailer. Pastor Doug Horner preaches from Acts 16:16–40.
