How did God love one of his greatest enemies? We pivot into the transformation of Saul, also known as Paul, in Acts chapter 9 today and see one of the kindest acts of God to Saul, the destroyer of the 1st century church.

The end of Acts 8 continues the fulfillment of Jesus' promise in Acts 1:8: Gospel witness empowered by the Holy Spirit going to the ends of the earth. But how does God's Gospel go global in the end of Acts chapter 8? We will dive deep into a beautiful moment under God's sovereignty between Philip and an Ethiopian eunuch.

Simon the Sorcerer believed the Gospel, and now Simon is entering into sanctification. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the transformational work of the Holy Spirit are on full display in today's teaching! A critical moment of conversation between the Apostle Peter and Simon the Sorcerer is a warning to us in the modern church today: beware of bitterness!

Jesus was faithfully building His church even through the martydom of Stephen scattering the church through two more areas of Jesus' original Acts 1:8 promise: Judea & Samaria. Samaria was known for magic during this time so how did Jesus build His church on fire through one of Stephen's friends named Philip?

Jealously is one of the deadliest sins in the Bible and today we will study how God sovereignly allowed the jealousy of the Sadducees to multiply the Gospel through the 1st Century Church for the advancement of His Kingdom. Do we count it joy when Jesus counts us worthy to suffer for His Name sake via jealous people in our lives? Suffering in the Sovereign hands of God has eternal purposes that we...

The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is selfishness. The first toxic moment in the 1st century church took place in Acts chapter 5, so let's dig into what threatened the unity of the 1st century church: the stinginess & selfishness of a Christian married couple: Ananias & Sapphira.

God multiplied the generosity of the 1st Century Church with great grace! How do we walk in the grace and favor of God as witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus today united in Christ?

When you are around others, what conclusions about you are they coming to? As we dive deeper into some of when the first moments the 1st century church experienced resistance, suffering, and persecution, we are going to explore one of the recognizable attributes of God's church being on fire for His glory, purposes, and mission: BOLDNESS. As a follower of Jesus, are you bold? Can we pray for boldn...

Have you ever done something the Holy Spirit led you to do, you begin to experience circumstances of resistance? Jesus promised that He will build His church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against His church. Gates are defensive weapons, so there will be resistance to what Jesus is building and we see the first form of suffering the 1st century church experienced. Today we will dive into t...

Jesus knows how to build His church even during moments of unexpected miracles and provisions! Today, we are going to see the first miracle in the 1st century church since that day of Pentecost and learn about the power and authority followers of Jesus have through the leading and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The church is not a building. The church is not a place. The church is a people. God's Holy people! The 1st century early church was born and now the lifestyle of the church is on full display. What did the early church prioritize? How did they live on mission together? Let's lean in to the description and prescription of this important passage as we wrap up Acts chapter 2!

On the day of this particular Pentecost, the 1st century early church was born! God kept His promise that Jesus gave His disciples about sending The Helper, The Holy Spirit and the church was officially born with demonstrations and explanations that multiplied the purpose of God in and through Israel as a witness to the world! Today, we will lean into this world changing moment that multiplied the...

What does faithfulness to God look like? We see God's faithfulness on display as the apostles discern what God's will was and we learn of an individual named Matthias who had been a witness of the Lord Jesus faithfully!

Waiting is hard. To be a church on fire demands obedience, unity, and dependency on God's Word. We will see one essential part of the Gospel narrative in the Ascension of Jesus and what the impact of this meant for the Jesus' followers back then and what it means for Jesus' followers today!

Jesus overcame the ultimate trigger in the Garden of Gethsemane: anxiety in going to the cross to die for the sins of humanity. How did Jesus overcome His trigger being 100% human and 100% God? Let's fix our eyes on Jesus!

When God says no or redirects your steps and paths to choices that you didn't ask for or expect, what do we with those triggers? Let's look to the Apostle Paul in the Book of Acts and watch how God gave Paul a multitude of signs and signals because Paul didn't live triggered.

How do we trust God to transform our triggers into signals for His glory and our good? Today, we will look at a moment in the life of Gideon where this happened!

Tithe. Money. Finances. These three words have the potential to trigger us in the Body of Christ, but with a healthy theology, practice, and honesty, these words can actually become a way we worship God practically and help and serve each other in tangible ways of grace and generosity. Let's dig into being Triggered by TITHE and see what healthy contextualization of God's Word actually has to say...
