Wanna get away? Most of us remember that catchphrase from an airline, promoting inexpensive getaways. Jesus modeled time away from people and noise, an opportunity to talk with the Father. Matthew 6:6 says, "'But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you." Listen as Pastor Nick unpacks th...

God has a plan and purpose for every person. But many people are trapped in a life of brokenness because of sin. Matthew 9:36 says Jesus had compassion on people because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Are we motivated, like Jesus, for compassion towards broken people? We send, and we go, or we disobey. Want to know more about EPAG? Visit www.epag.church!

"...As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." John 20:21 We often think of missionaries as those who travel to distant lands to spread the Gospel of Jesus. It's true that there are those we pray for, and financially support, to take the good news of Jesus to unreached people groups. But really, every Jesus follower is a missionary - sent by God to the people right in front of us. Listen as...

The Holy Spirit helps us to see and seize the opportunities around us every day. Are you expecting those opportunities? Join us in Acts 3!

The Holy Spirit works in so many ways in the life of a Jesus follower. The power of God changes lives. The Holy Spirit also helps us to see the people and needs around us. People need what only God can do!

Storms are a part of life. Sometimes, it can even seem that it’s one storm after another. Jesus is not shaken by the storms we face. Jesus is with us in the storms.

It’s time for the Church to wake up, grow up, look up, and lift up. To live a life of love and devotion to God, to grow to maturity in Christ, evidenced by love and service, to look up at what’s / WHO is around us, and to lift people up from where they are to Jesus.

The mission of God was so much bigger than they could imagine — and it all started on the Day of Pentecost.

God can do powerful work when we give Him time and space in our lives. 

Youth Pastor Cynthia Ortega gives a positive, encouraging message to our outgoing High School Seniors, that is applicable to all ages!

The book of Acts has an open ending. There’s no “and they all lived happily ever after". The book of Acts is not just an account of history. We have the book of Acts to inspire a continuation of Jesus’ mission and ministry in our lives today!
