In a world filled with competing voices, shifting values, and constant confusion, how do we find true clarity? Acts 19 reminds us that the Gospel doesn't simply add Jesus to our lives, it reorients all of life around Jesus.

The name of Jesus begins to take prominence when, strangely, a group of Jewish magicians tries to invoke the name of Jesus. However, things don’t go so well. Can the name of Jesus be used like a weapon by simply anyone? What is the difference between a...

The most important question you may ask isn't, "What am I doing?" but "Who am I becoming?" Whether we realize it or not, we are all being formed by something.

What does it look like when the Holy Spirit forms a church for a changing world?

Together we’ll see how the Gospel disrupts what we build our lives on, reveals what we truly trust, and shines brightest in the darkest moments. This Sunday’s message is for you, no matter what is h...

We love a “yes.” Yes means green light go. Yes means success. On the other side of a yes means, “I got what I wanted.” But what about when God gives us a “No?” This weekend, we will take a look at the very first time in Scripture where the Holy Spirit gives an outright “No.” The question it leaves us with is, “What do we do if God tells us no?” Join us this weekend as we continue our series in Act...

What if the biggest threat to the Gospel isn’t rejecting Jesus, but adding to Him? In Acts 15, the early church faced a defining question: Is Jesus enough, or do we need something more? The answer shaped the future of the church, and it stillshapes our lives today. This Sunday, we’ll explore how easily we turn “Jesus alone” into “Jesus plus,” and why the Gospel is not about what we do for God, but...

Opposition is a regular part of life. Sometimes it’s mild, and other times it can feel overwhelming—even unbearable. In Acts 12, we find Peter in one of those moments. His situation is intense, uncertain, and completely out of his control. Yet in the middle of it, we see something powerful—not just in Peter,but in the community around him. Their response reveals a different way of facing oppositio...

We’re in a season of asking God to open our hands from things that are distracting or take a greater role in our lives than Jesus does so that God can have free access to remove or place anything He desires into our lives. Our passage this Sunday shows us how this openhanded posture shapes a community and impacts not only a city, but also the known world of the day.   Access upcoming events, get c...

None of us enjoy being corrected, but throughout Scripture, God uses correction as a pathway to growth and freedom.

This Sunday, we continue our Lent series, Living Openhandedly, by examining how God’s heart for all people invites us to open our hands to others, even those we have written off or determined outside our box. God doesn’t just save individuals, He forms a new humanity, tearing down dividing walls and building something new. In a time when suspicion and separation feel normal, the cross calls us int...

This Sunday, we begin our Lent series, Living Openhandedly. Over the past few years, Lent has been a deeply formative season for us as a church, and we’re expectant for how God will move again as we intentionally seek to live more surrendered and dependent on Jesus, desiring to experience His resurrection power in our everyday lives. As we continue in the book of Acts, we’ll see how God works in t...

We see miracles all throughout the Bible. As we continue in Acts chapter 9, we’ll encounter two radical miracles—a healing and the raising of the dead. But we have to ask: Why do miracles exist, and what purpose do they serve? Why do we experience them at some times and not others? While the miraculous may feel distant to you today, we’ll see that it’s closer than we think—and that it has meaningf...

We’re used to hype. We know what big, emotional moments look like and the short-term changes that follow. But what does it look like when an encounter with Jesus is more than hype? This Sunday, we’ll see how the days following Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus lead to long-term changes in his life and what we can learn as we seek to become more like Jesus in our everyday lives. Access upcoming...

What happens when God shows mercy to someone we think doesn’t deserve it? In Acts 9, we encounter the dramatic conversion of Saul, a violent persecutor of Christians, and discover a Gospel that confronts our certainty, humbles ourpride, and extends grace further than we expect. We explore how Jesus turns enemies into family and invites us into a messy, missional community shaped by His grace. Acce...

Following Jesus doesn’t always make life easier; sometimes it makes it harder. This Sunday in Acts 7–8, we’ll see how suffering reveals what we really believe, how God redeems hardship to advance His gospel, and why faith that truly transforms us always requires surrender. When faith costs us, the question isn’t if God is at work, but rather what we trust Him for.   Access upcoming events, get con...
