Obedience comes before empowerment. In this lesson from Acts 18 (Lesson 97), see how Jesus’ words in Luke 24 set the pattern: start where he says, move when he says, and trust God to meet you there. This session follows Paul in Corinth as he faces rejection, keeps preaching, and receives a night vision that gives him clear direction: don’t fear, speak up, and stay steady because the Lord is with h...

Last Sunday of the year, one clear word for 2026, the Church has a Mission. This message calls Christians back to the Great Commission, not as a slogan, but as the daily work of making disciples through the power and presence of Jesus. You’ll hear a direct challenge to stay on mission, keep unity tied to the mission, and measure success by faithfulness, not a scoreboard. The message also shares a...

Acts 18 puts you on the road with Paul as he leaves Athens and arrives in Corinth, a city known for wealth, trade, and open sin. This teaching tracks the second missionary journey, the move from synagogue preaching to a growing Gentile mission, and the key people God used along the way, including Aquila and Priscilla. You’ll also see how Acts connects with Paul’s earliest letters. From Corinth, Pa...

Christmas service teaching from the Book of Acts with Paul in Athens at Mars Hill (Acts 17:29-34). This message covers repentance, God’s patience and grace, and why the resurrection of Jesus brings real accountability before God. You’ll also hear a prayer for healing and protection as sickness spreads through the community, plus a clear warning about trading moral responsibility for intellectual e...

The presence of God is not a theory in the Bible, it is meant to be a daily reality. In this message from the book of Acts, we look at how God’s presence, grace, and power work in the mind and spirit of a believer. Learn why awareness of His presence matters more than outward behavior, how fear of God keeps our hearts clean, and why the early church in Acts is the pattern for our walk with Jesus t...

Discover what Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill means for the church today and for this Christmas season. In this message from Acts 17, we look at the “unknown god,” the joy of Christ’s coming, and what it means to live with a clear “expected end” from God. Pastor Alan traces how DL Moody’s devotion to the Word, the meaning of the word “Hamas” in the Bible, and the future of Israel all tie into God’s pla...

Joy is more than a feeling; it is the inheritance of every Christian. In this Thanksgiving weekend message from our King of Kings series, Pastor Allan teaches how a thankful heart sharpens our spiritual eyes, unlocks our God-given authority, and strengthens our spiritual and physical “immune system.” Learn why gratitude is central to the will of God, how thanksgiving shifts us from darkness to lig...

Paul’s second missionary journey brings him to Athens, the heart of pagan worship and Greek philosophy. In this teaching from Acts 17, we trace his path from Berea and Thessalonica to Mars Hill, where he faces Epicurean and Stoic thinkers and points them to the “unknown God” they’ve missed. We look at the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and even the full-scale replica in Nashville, and talk about how a...

Grow in biblical maturity as we continue our study in the Book of Acts. In this lesson, Pastor Alan walks through Acts 17, from Paul’s time in Thessalonica to his ministry in Berea and Athens, and shows how sin, immaturity, and distraction keep believers from the fullness God intended before the foundation of the world. Learn why the Bereans were called “more noble,” how to search the Scriptures w...

The Book of Acts shows how followers of Jesus stood strong in a hostile culture. In this teaching from Acts 17, we look at Paul’s second missionary journey, the blowing of the shofar as a prophetic call to “rise up,” and what it means for the modern church as our own culture grows more pagan and less Christian. We walk through Paul’s bold preaching in Thessalonica and Athens, the charge that belie...

Line upon line through Acts 17:1-4. This expository teaching traces how Paul preached Jesus from the Old Testament, why the Bereans searched the Scriptures, and how Acts shows the shift from law to grace. Learn why the Bible’s progressive revelation matters for faith today, and why our Church must prize both truth and love. Simple, clear, and anchored in Scripture. Key points:  * Paul proved Jesus...
