Blairsville Church of Christ

Antioch gave away their very best for the mission—and the Gospel spread through the whole region. In this message from Acts 13, we look at what it means to be a mission-minded church: one that knows whose it is, seeks God, and sends. The question for us is simple: will we do the same?

When pressure comes, how does the church respond? In Acts 12, real pressure comes. But the church doesn't panic or pick up swords, they pray! This week we find that a faithful church holds up under pressure not because the pressure lets up, but because of what it's made of: prayer, and a dependence on God and one another — FAITH!

When Jesus came to earth, His mission was to bring salvation to people—and that meant breaking down barriers. Not only in His own work, but in the continuing work of His Church. Today we look at the example of Peter and the early church in Acts 10 and ask: "Who are the Gentiles around us who still need the Gospel?" and "What barriers still need to be broken down?"

This week in The Jesus Church, we meet Saul on the road to Damascus — a man breathing threats against the church, the last person anyone expected God to use. Yet Christ stopped him and called him a chosen instrument. In Acts 9, we're reminded that no one is beyond the reach of grace, and God still calls the most unexpected people to declare His glory.

Obedience is easy when it costs nothing. But what do you do when it costs everything? This week in "The Jesus Church" series we look at Acts 5 — and what it looks like to obey God when the stakes are real.

Generosity isn't a giving program or a guilt trip — it's a symptom of the Spirit moving in God's people. This week in Acts 4-5, we look at what it means to be a church that gives not to look good, but to meet real needs, fuel the mission, and bear fruit that actually feeds people.

What if the church operated like we have nothing to lose? The Apostles, specifically Peter and John in Acts 3-4, stood in front of the men who murdered Jesus — and didn't flinch. They, and the church, prayed for boldness. And when God showed up, nothing could stop them. The Bold Church isn't some relic of the first century. It's what we're supposed to be — and this week we ask what it would look l...

The Church began with the Spirit’s power, not human effort. Acts 2 shows a community shaped by devotion, generosity, and real connection—and reminds us: we can’t create the fire, but we can stack the wood.

What do you do when the greatest person you've ever known walks out of your life? The disciples faced that exact moment when Jesus ascended into heaven. But their response wasn't grief. It was joy and blessing. In this final scene of Luke's Gospel, we unpack why Jesus' departure was actually a good thing for them — and what it means for us today.

What if your problem isn't that you need to try harder — but that you're running on the wrong power source? From Luke 24, we explore the Holy Spirit's role in empowering followers of Jesus to actually live and testify the way He called us to.

After the resurrection, the disciples are understandably struggling, because they haven't yet seen the risen Jesus. In this message, we look at how Jesus reveals Himself to them and begins to reshape their understanding of what has happened and what is to come!

The grave wasn’t the end—it was just the setup. This Resurrection Sunday message traces the story from the cross to the empty tomb, showing how Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplish forgiveness of sin, defeat death, and make new life possible.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds celebrated Him as King—but within days, many would scatter in fear as He went to the cross. So what happened to their faith? And maybe more importantly, what does real faith actually look like? In this message, we step back into Jesus’ teachings and discover that true faith holds on, lets go, and remains steady—even in seasons of uncertainty.

In Luke 15, Jesus shows us the heart of God—a God who seeks, values, and redeems what is lost. But redemption isn’t the finish line; it’s the beginning of a transformed life. In this message, we try to unpack a little bit of what it means to live the redeemed way of Jesus!

While the ways of the world have become our normal way of seeing life, Jesus offers a radically different perspective. His way often turns everything we think we know upside down. In this message, we explore several of Jesus’ teachings and encounters that reveal what life in His way truly looks like.

While salvation in Christ is completely free, following Him comes with a cost. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow wherever He leads—even if that path leads to suffering or death. In this message, we wrestle with the reality of that cost and the greater reward that comes with it.

In life, we can find ourselves afflicted by darkness, disease, and death. Often, when these things hit us, we respond in fear, panic, and doubt. But what we find in Luke 8 is how we should actually respond: trusting in the power of Jesus! In this message, we look at several examples of Jesus' great power over all of the things in this world that trouble us. His Way is a way of power, not fear. Tru...

Many of us know Jesus as our Savior and as a good teacher, but do we understand His authority as Lord? The early witnesses of Jesus' ministry had the same struggle. In Luke 6, we see Jesus assert His divine authority and then call His followers to submit to Him as Lord. And when we submit to Him as Lord, we find that our lives in Him are much stronger for it.

When Jesus shows up in the New Testament, the Jews had their expectations of what He would be like. When they realized that He was unlike what they expected, it caused problems for their acceptance of Him. In this message, we challenge our own expectations of Jesus and look at who Scripture tells us He is. Our hope is that we will let go of who we want Jesus to be, how we want Him to function, and...

Before Jesus begins His ministry on earth, John the Baptist came to prepare the people for what the Messiah was going to do. He calls them to repentance and into a new way of living. In this message, we look at John's call to preparing for Jesus to come, and we ask, "Are we, ourselves, prepared?"

Before we get into the Gospel of Luke, we have to first define the word "Gospel" as "Good News" and then explain the need for good news, and where it came from. This week, we see the fall of man and the PROMISE God made of our Savior!

We have spent the last few weeks talking about "the one's" we know who are lost. Today, we talked about The One who came to seek and is still seeking!

This week, we were blessed to have Jacob Compton visit and share a message with us. In this message, Jacob challenges our idea of success in this world and, more importantly, in our Christian walk.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells a story about someone who didn’t drift—they decided to leave. This week, we look at the willful son and ask who the lost really are—and how the Father responds when they come home.

One of Jesus' most overlooked parables is the Parable of the Lost Coin. This week, we take a look at this parable and identify who the "lost coin" could be, as well as who might be the one who lost it.
