Faith Stories Summer 2024 - Growing Through Childhood - Seeing God in Action

Find out how God is at work in our church family and the world. A Firm Foundation.

Pastor Jeff talks more about personal application of Sunday's sermon along with a few resources.

The early church had to wrestle with an important issue that challenged the way they think about God, the way he works, and the kinds of people he loves. Those are still questions for us to work through! Join us as we look at "The Debate" from Acts 15:6-21.

They’re back! After almost two years on the road, Paul and Barnabas have returned, only to find out that the gospel they preached—that Jews and Gentiles are equally welcomed in to God’s family through faith in the Messiah—is up for debate. Do Gentiles have to become Jews before they can become Christians? Are there two families of God, or two levels of relationship with God? In this sermon, we wat...

Pastor Jeff fills in for Joey while he is out of the country and we answer a few big idea questions about the series.

Jeff rounds out the subseries and helps us prep for the next one coming this Sunday!

Paul shares the good news of Jesus - and is almost killed for it. Instead of backing off or turning away, he heads back to the places where he faced opposition to encourage new believers to keep following Jesus in spite of opposition. Join us this Sunday as we look at “The Challenge” from Acts 14:19-28.

Joey shares what didn't make the cut in Sunday's sermon and he presents the gospel story trying to use only the top "ten hundred" words in the English language.

In a thoroughly pagan city with no Jewish influence, we get to watch as Paul and Barnabas work a miracle. And just like previous miracles, this one, too, engenders a faith response in the people who see it. Except this time, their faith is in the wrong gods! Join us for "The Gods" from Acts 14:8-23 to see how the gospel is uniquely preached in this pagan environment.

It's another special guest on Cut for Time! Tom Waltz joins us for the podcast to review his Sunday sermon and share what he had to cut for time.

Sunday we welcome another guest speaker to the pulpit; this time, one of our own elders: Tom Waltz! Tom will explore Acts 14:1-7 with us. And though this seems like just another every-day scene in Barnabas and Paul’s work in the Greco-Roman world, we’ll watch as their ministry and message split the town in two. Join us for “The Division” as we discover how the gospel confronts us still today! Spec...

This week's episode is a special interview with John North and Joey Woestman.

We’re excited to welcome John North, the Australia National Director for Ambassadors for Christ International, to share from Acts 13:44-52, “The Turn.” Though Paul and Barnabas make it their mission to preach the gospel first to Jews in the synagogues, wherever they go, in Pisidian Antioch they experience extreme opposite responses to their message. Some Jews and devout Gentiles believe that Jesus...

Pastor Jeff shares what he had to cut for time on Sunday and how to present the Gospel to others in a powerful way that meets them where they're at in their journey.

The gospel expands to Asia Minor as Paul gets to share the good news of Jesus in a synagogue worship service. Join us for “The Message” from Acts 13:13-43 as we also get to hear about the God who works in his own time and unexpected ways to fulfill all his promises and good purposes.

Pastor Joey shares what he cut for time on Sunday, why we're not projecting missionary journey maps during sermons, and listen all the way to the end for a "poorly chosen analogy" (according to Joey).

It’s begun! The first missionary journey of the first formal, official missionaries starts on the island of Cyprus. Barnabas and Saul travel the island, preaching the good news of Jesus, before ending up on the west coast in the capital city of Paphos, where the city’s governor is interested in hearing more. But there’s a magician, an astrologer, a Jewish false prophet standing in the way… Join us...

Pastor Joey and Claire talk about creating a "lifestyle" of evangelism and what that practically looks like.

We’re back in Acts! After taking off for Lent, we’re picking the story back up where we left off. The church has faced trials from without and conflicts from within, followers of Jesus have been scattered across the known world, and the center of missionary activity in the Church has shifted from Jerusalem to Antioch. And it’s in Antioch that the Holy Spirit shows up, calling out two of the best t...

Celebrating our risen savior, Jesus! We conclude our study of Lamentations and are renewed by the good news of the gospel.

Our annual Good Friday service, remembering the death of our savior.

For the first time, the suffering people speak for themselves, but there’s no “closure” – just the first steps beyond suffering in silence towards perspective and hope. How does this final poem help us identify and express our suffering? What hope is there in “raw” prayers like the one offered in Lamentations 5? Join us as we cry out “Restore us to yourself, O God.”

We chat about how the book of Lamentations ends and our desire for resolution.

Pastor Joey covers what he had to cut for time on Sunday and we talk more about recognizing anniversaries of losses.
