Do you ever feel that life is boring sometimes. That we sometimes go through the motions and everyday feels the same.  We spend time watching others fulfill their adventures on the TV screen, or in movies, or Instagram reels. However, as we follow Jesus, He has an adventure for our lives!  When we truly allow Him to lead our lives, we won’t experience “boring”, but excitement.  Join us as we hear...

Life is busy.  We are people who move from one event to the next.  We fill our calendars are and have very little time to stop.  However, life is missed when we don’t stop to see the big picture.

How can we best take advantage of this last week of the 2023?  Pastor Devin has a short message to encourage us to have “selective memory” as we look back on the good things God has done, forget some of the challenges of the past, and ‘press forward’ into the new year.  We are going to be “turning the page” into the new year whether we like it or not.  Let’s make the most of it, and believe God fo...

Pastor Devin teaches on the beginning of persecution that was coming to the disciples for following Jesus.  Many times, we think if something bad happens to us, God must not be with us.  Yet the early disciples were punished for doing good and following God’s purpose for their life.  How should we respond when we are punished for doing good?  Open to Acts 4 and join us.

“I’m Sorry!”  How many times have you said that after making a mistake?  Remorse is a good thing, but the person you offended or hurt isn’t only asking for remorse, but for you to repent. What is repentance?  What is redemption?  In Acts chapter three Jesus works through Peter and John to bring healing to a lame man. The focus was not the healing, the focus was repentance and redemption.  Pastor D...

“Judas” is not a popular name used in America. Not many parents are choosing to name their child “Judas” over names like “John”, “Mark”, “Carson”, or “Tyler”.

In Acts 1, we see Jesus give final instructions to his disciples.  He then ascends into the clouds with the promise of his return spoken by the angels.  What will the disciples do?  Do they obey Him, or do they ignore Him?  This is part 3 of our series in the book of Acts. Support the show

In part 2 of Acts: REAL FAITH, we look at Jesus' final words to his disciples before he ascended into heaven.  These instructions were so important because Jesus was entrusting the continuation of his ministry to them.  These instructions are just as important for us as we continue to carry out Jesus’ mission on earth.   Support the show
