En Hechos 4–5, Lucas revela a la iglesia primitiva como el nuevo Templo viviente de Dios, edificada en unidad, generosidad e integridad. Por medio de la resurrección de Cristo, Dios nos concede verdadera pertenencia, llamando a su pueblo a ser un solo cuerpo, no dividido por cultura ni preferencia. La generosidad se convierte en obra del templo cuando los creyentes comparten libremente, no por obl...

In Acts 4–5, Luke shows us that the Church is the one holy temple of God, where His Spirit dwells among His people. This countercultural community is marked by unity, generosity, and integrity—signs of God’s great grace at work. Barnabas models Spirit-filled generosity, while Ananias and Sapphira reveal the danger of hypocrisy in God’s house. Ultimately, our hope is not in our efforts but in Chris...

Mr. Brendan Stamper preaches for us from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 with a sermon on Life Through Death. In this passage, Paul reminds us that our earthly bodies are like fragile tents—temporary and easily torn. But for those in Christ, death is not the end; it is the exchange of the temporary for the eternal, the weak for the glorious, the perishable for the imperishable.<br><br><strong&...

En nuestro servicio matutino, el pastor Daniel nos traerá la Palabra de Dios del Salmo 46 con un sermón titulado El Señor del Anfitrión está con nosotros. Vivimos en un mundo que siente todo menos estable: la ira de las naciones, las economías se agitan y los ensayos personales pueden dejarnos abrumados. El miedo se arrastra fácilmente cuando la vida se siente incierta. Pero el Salmo 46 nos da un...

Pastor Daniel will bring us God's Word from Psalm 46 with a sermon entitled The LORD of Host is With Us. We live in a world that feels anything but stable—nations rage, economies shake, and personal trials can leave us overwhelmed. Fear easily creeps in when life feels uncertain. But Psalm 46 gives us a battle cry of confidence: “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress....

Pastor Daniel preaches from Exodus 20:7 with a sermon titled More Than Words: Honoring God's Name. We may not speak God’s name in vain aloud, but how often do our words, actions, or even silence dishonor Him? This passage reminds us that honoring God’s name is more than careful speech—it involves our hearts, our words, and the way we live.<br><br><strong>Time:</strong>...

El Pastor Taylor nos trae la Palabra de Dios de Hechos 3:1–4:31 con un sermón titulado Valentía del Espíritu. ¿Con qué frecuencia retrocedemos cuando surge el nombre de Jesús en una conversación? La valentía puede parecernos ajena en una cultura que valora la comodidad, la seguridad y la tolerancia. Sin embargo, en Hechos 3–4 encontramos a la iglesia primitiva en su infancia: débil en número, pero...

Pastor Taylor brings us God's Word from Acts 3:1-4:31 with a sermon called Spirit-Empowered Boldness. How often do we shrink back when the name of Jesus comes up in conversation? Boldness can feel foreign in a culture that prizes comfort, safety, and tolerance. Yet in Acts 3-4, we meet the early church in its infancy—weak in numbers, but strong in the Spirit. What transformed ordinary fisherm...

The second commandment forbids us to bow down to golden calves or any other man made image, but how often do we decide that we will worship God our way, on our schedule and shaped by our tastes. In our study of Exodus 32, we confront Israel's sin at Sinai and descover how the Second Commandment calls us to true worship, which is patient, faithful, Spirit led and centered on Christ alone.<b...

Quizás soñemos con la "iglesia perfecta", pero este pasaje de los Hechos nos muestra algo mucho mejor: la Hermosa Comunidad de Dios, moldeada no por preferencias humanas, sino por Su Palabra y Su Espíritu. Juntos consideraremos cómo nuestra adoración debe estar arraigada en Cristo y Su Palabra, reunida en torno a la Palabra, la Santa Cena, la oración y la comunión, marcada por el asombro...

We may dream of the "perfect church, but this portion from Acts shows us something far better: God's Beautiful Community, shaped not by human preference, but by His Word and Spirit. Together we'll consider how our worship should be anchored in Christ and His Word, found in gathering around Word, sacrament, prayer andfellowship, marked by awe, joy, and unity as a community that displ...

In this message we are reminded that everyone worships something. There are so many things in the world that compete for our attention. Why should we worship the God of the Bible? Because He alone is worthy of our worship. He alone is God. Only He hears and answers the prayers of His people. Because He alone can protect your life. He alone can give you spiritual understanding. Everything else will...

Este mensaje da inicio a una nueva serie de sermones sobre el libro de los Hechos, "La Iglesia en Fuego". El mensaje del mundo trata de mí y de lo que yo quiero, dejándonos vacíos. El mensaje que escuchamos en el libro de los Hechos, "El Evangelio de Jesucristo", llena nuestras vidas de propósito, poder y paz. El Evangelio le da sentido a todo, y en lugar de ser mi historia, es...

This is the beginning of in a new journey through the book of Acts from Acts 1:1–11 in a sermon titled “The Message that Changes Everything.” The world tells us that life is all about ourselves—but that pursuit always leaves us empty. In Acts, we discover a better way: a life filled with purpose, power, and peace in Christ. Join us as we see how Jesus calls His people to be His witnesses today.&lt...

Ever feel like life slams a brick wall into your plans? We all want to go our own way, but God gives something better: Ten commandments that aren’t just rules—they’re a lifeline. In this sermon, we explore how God’s law exposes our need, points us to Christ, and anchors us in a community of love, justice, and peace. From Israel’s story to our own, discover how the Spirit transforms hearts, frees u...

En este mensaje aprendemos que el verdadero gozo no se encuentra persiguiendo placeres fugaces, sino viviendo plenamente bajo el sol con la eternidad en mente. Dios nos llama a regocijarnos en Sus buenos dones, apartarnos del camino destructivo del pecado y anclar nuestros días en Aquel (Jesús) que nos dio la vida.<br><br><strong>Time:</strong><br>Afternoon<br>&...

In a world constantly shaping us to think its way, Paul calls us to a radical transformation by the renewing of our minds. This sermon explores how God reshapes our thoughts through His Word and Spirit, so that we no longer conform to the world’s patterns but live in alignment with His good, pleasing, and perfect will.<br><br><strong>Time:</strong><br>Afternoon<br&...

In this message we learn that true joy is found not in chasing fleeting pleasures, but in living fully under the sun with eterniity in view. God calls us to rejoice in His good gifts, turn from sin's destructive parth, and anchor our days in the One (Jesus) who gave us life.<br><br><strong>Time:</strong><br>Morning<br><br><strong>Minister:</s...

In this message we learn that while Solomon embodied wisdom, it was not pure. He was divided in his heart. <br>The wisdom that is from above is humility in action. It is an undivided heart. Wisdom from above produces Heaven's peace.<br><br><strong>Time:</strong><br>Afternoon<br><br><strong>Minister:</strong><br>Mr. Brendan Stam...
