Overflow Church: A Weekly Podcast

The early church was devoted to a few things, and they made those things of chief importance. How do we line up ourselves? Where does our devotion lie?

This week, we continue looking at Peter's message at Pentecost and his call for the Jewish people to repent.

In our text today, the early church receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the disciples begin overflowing by sharing the gospel with the Jews nearby!

Jesus' disciples gathered and made their first decisions as the Church. In today's passage, we discover how they moved forward in purposeful unity.

Welcome back to Part 2 of "The Gospel According to Luke!" Today, we begin studying Luke's second book: Acts, and Pastor Alan leads us to consider what our next step might be in our journey of following Jesus.

As we're introduced to the main characters in this story, we see God's plan and purposes unfolding in the background. *the final few minutes of audio was unfortunately lost. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This week, we turn to Esther's story... although we don't yet meet Esther. Instead, we learn from the antihero (spoiler alert): Esther's future husband, King Ahasuerus.

As we conclude Gideon's story, we will see his fall and consider what we can learn from the failure he experienced.

This week, we continue following Gideon's story. Once again, we see his fear on display, but we also discover the strength and provision of the Lord.

As we continue our series, Unlikely Heroes, Pastor Alan leads us to consider Gideon and his story.

Continuing in our series: Unlikely Heroes, we see how Ruth and Naomi take matters into their own hands in the midst of waiting for provision and redemption... and yet, God is the One who ultimately brings both.

We continue our series "Unlikely Heroes" as Ruth and Boaz reveal what the character of a hero--even and unlikely hero--looks like.

Jonah was not the typical hero we expect in Scripture. In fact, he had some pretty massive weaknesses! And yet, God used Jonah (and Jonah's weaknesses) to show His kindness to an undeserving people. What if God wanted to do the same thing in our lives?

Have you ever experienced FoMO (the fear of missing out)? As we near the end of Luke's Gospel, we see how Jesus invited all of his disciples to take part in the mission. He invites all of his followers to participate.

There is a subtle (but very important) difference between perception and perspective. As we continue working through the final chapter of Luke's Gospel, Pastor Alan explores the importance of shifting our perception in order to have understanding of the gospel.

On this Easter message, Pastor Alan teaches on Luke 24:1-12 and how we can only see the true beauty of the cross and the resurrection by moving into the right place.

Jesus was not what most people were expecting for their savior... and yet, He is the Savior that we truly need. Listen as Zach Wiggins, Minister of Students at Blue Valley Baptist Church, leads us through portions of Luke 19 and 20.

Knowing the heart of the Father is one of the most important things we can do. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories that reveal the great love that the Father has for the lost. Pastor Alan zeroes in on the third story: the parable of the lost son.

To be a steward means to reflect the heart and actions of the owner. Have you considered what it means to be a steward of God's Kingdom? In Luke 12, Jesus taught His disciples what that looks like.

As Jesus began His intentional journey toward Jerusalem, He began drawing a line and asking people to decide whether they were in or out... there's not a third option.

Jonathan Bissig (a campus pastor of New City Church) makes a 100% promise guarantee that, after listening to this message, you will be able to easily share the gospel.

If you had three years to change the world, how would you do it? In Luke 9, Jesus reveals His plan.

Did you ever play with walkie talkies when you were a kid? One of the phrases everyone seems to automatically use is "Do you copy?" Today, in Luke 8, Pastor Alan teaches how Jesus asked a similar question of His followers.

Uh oh... Pastor Alan sinned! In this week's message, listen as we consider the implications of a life that misses the mark. But more importantly, we ask how we can live according to God's purposes for our lives.

In this passage, Jesus calls Simon to become a "fisher of men." Pastor Alan leads us in considering what lures we need in our spiritual tackle box in order to share the good news with the people around us.
