This week Pastor Mike Rigdon invites us into a conversation rooted in Acts 9 verses 32-43 where Peter said yes to God on a journey where he was equipped to initiate multiple spirit lead healings. Peter likely heard many no's from God along his journey though. He might have heard no's in some difficult circumstances even. We have all likely experienced no's from God that were difficu...

Today we took a journey through Acts 9, the conversion of Saul. We learned several things from this world-changing moment, but the most important of them is simply this: Jesus is worth everything.

Today we had our monthly meeting with Place 4 Worship church in Fullerton. Place 4 Worship’s Pastor Sheridan McDaniel & Pastor Josh Harrison felt convicted to pause and reflect on the recent gun violence. They invited us into an honest conversation and to consider these issues as our problem and as an invitation to humility, prayer, and repentance. Links: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/...

This week we learned more about Philip’s story and the adventure that comes when we say “yes” to God. We learned that life is found when we live in obedience, that If you seek God, you will find him, and that all are welcome in the Kingdom of God!  Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm!

Simon the sorcerer has been an interesting and shadowy figure throughout Church history, but maybe he has something to teach us about life with Jesus. We are all on a journey of becoming who, in Christ, we already are. Maybe Simon was too… Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm!

Acts 8:1-8 starts with death, mourning, persecution, and suffering, yet it ends with joy. What happened between verses 1 and 8? Two things. First, God did what he does: he took broken things and made them beautiful. He took sorrow and turned it into joy. Second, the Church chose to receive that joy.

The martyrdom of Stephen shows the stark contrast between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of the world. What made sense to the Jewish authorities based on their values and priorities, in fact, ran counter to the Kingdom and mission of God. But when we look at Stephen, he shows us that God’s wisdom begins and ends with Jesus. Because we too live at the collision of these two wisdoms, it is importa...

As we’ve been discovering, the very first church thought of themselves as a family. In today’s teaching, Mike talks about the challenges the early church faced as they were continuing to grow beyond Jerusalem and how they resolved those challenges together. This Sunday we continue on in our Acts series and hear from Josh on Acts 5.  The story of the apostles' arrest in Acts 5 raises some impo...

This Sunday we continue on in our Acts series and hear from Josh on Acts 5.  The story of the apostles' arrest in Acts 5 raises some important questions for anyone who desires to follow Jesus. How do we discern the move of God and stay nimble to move with him? How do we live this life with boldness in the face of opposition? How do we realign our priorities so suffering can be turned to joy?...

When it comes to growth, we are often limited by our lack of leaving the old for the new. Pastor Sheridan talks this morning about the idea of leaving behind old seasons for the sake of growth in Jesus. Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm!

This week, we take a look at one of the more disturbing stories in the book of Acts, the story of Ananias and Sapphira. At first reading, this story makes us all pretty uncomfortable and leaves us wondering, "What exactly is going on here?" But when we dig a little deeper, we learn a great deal about who God is, who we are, and what it means to live in the presence of the AWESOME God. Jo...

One of the things we see the early church doing in response to the gift of the Holy Spirit is practicing radical generosity. In fact, they were so generous that they temporarily ended poverty in their community. Their generosity was a sign that the Kingdom of God has come near, and it lent power to their testimony about the resurrection of Jesus. In this sermon, we discuss how we can follow their...

Thanks for joining us today for another dive into the book of Acts. The Church in Acts 4 teaches us some valuable lessons about prayer in seasons of adversity. From them, we learn the power of God-centered prayer. We start with the truth of who He is, the Sovereign Lord, and this puts everything else in its proper place. He is Lord, and we are His, His people, His servants doing His work in the wo...

Thanks for joining us today for another dive into the book of Acts. Pastor Mike is preaching on how Peter responded after being questioned, by what authority he healed the man by the temple gates. As well as how time spent with Jesus influences how we operate on the outside towards others. Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm!

Hello, and good morning! Thanks for tuning in once again. We are joined indoors this time, for a message with pastor Josh on the lame man at the temple gates. We believe in this post-christian context within our culture, that we need Signs and Wonders as part of our evangelical strategy. It isn't everything, yet it isn't nothing. Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm! L...

Good morning! Thanks for tuning in today. We continue on in our study in the book of Acts with Josh reading and helping to break down the story from Acts 3 of the lame man being healed sitting outside of the temple. He breaks down how the disciples show this man Jesus' character through deeply seeing him, being unhurried in their interaction with him, and showing him love in a proximal and ta...

Good morning! Thanks for tuning in today. Josh is speaking on the same passage we've been in over the past few weeks. Really hammering down this idea of a church that is devoted in everything we do. He talks about the blocks and the real excuses we have that get in the way of us being the church God has called us to be. And we will work through how to dismantle these blocks. Join us next Sund...

Hello! Thanks for joining us today! This morning Mike is teaching out of the same passage we looked at last week. Focusing on what it looks like to actually 'buy in' to the Gospel.

Good morning! Today Josh preaches a very convicting sermon about Holy Spirit, and whether or not we are hungry enough for it. We want to be a church that changes things, one that draws people in. Not pushing them away. Join us next Sunday in person at 10am, or online at 5pm!
