Pastor Jon introduces the Podcast, explaining what it is and why are are doing it.

In today's passage, we'll read about one of the most interesting men to join the new Jesus community, an Ethiopian Eunuch. And through this story we'll continue to learn about what gospel ministry looks like in the early church and make connections to gospel ministry in our day.

Our passage today shows us what happened after the persecution began in Jerusalem. The believers are scattered and begin sharing the gospel outside of their “home church.” This week and next week we will follow Philip as he shares the good news in Samaria and in Judea. In this story we will learn several things about gospel ministry that we can apply to our own mission here in Bremerton and Kitsap...

The time had finally come. Though the first believers had remained in Jerusalem, meeting in the temple and demonstrating how Jesus was the Messiah, the existing Jewish leaders had had enough. So, they killed Stephen, Christianity’s first martyr. This pushed the believers out to begin sharing the good news outside of Jerusalem. It’s the tipping point for the Jesus movement! In this long section of...

Leadership is challenging. The early church leaders didn’t always do well with the challenges they faced, but our passage this morning is an example of a time when they did! Not only did they deal with a challenging situation well, but their leadership led to growth. So as we head into 2022, I give you this text as a kind of vision for your leadership and for our church. Happy New Year Seaside Fam...

This week we will be jumping back into our series through the book of Acts, continuing through chapter 5. The Apostles are once again in trouble with the Temple officials, but with the help of an angel and a Pharisee (how surprising!) they are able to continue with their mission. We will see that we as followers of Jesus are priests in the new temple, we are lights in a dark world, and we point ot...

This week's passages help us to understand the nature of God's coming. In other words, God doesn’t do what we expect him to do. There’s a theme here of reversal. Also, in these verses there's a challenge and an invitation to look to Jesus alone for our peace.

Advent is about waiting for God. So far in our series, we've talked about how he's coming and how to be prepared for his coming. But today's texts help us get a vision for what he's coming to do. He's coming to restore. And this restoration isn't something only for the future, but it's something we can participate in now. Seaside, God is in the business of restoring, I pray you’ll get in on it tod...

Advent is about waiting for Jesus' second coming as we recall his first. But what should we do while we wait? How do we prepare? Our text this morning give us four ways to prepare. May these give us direction as we practice waiting and preparing this Advent!

This morning is the first Sunday in Advent. Advent is a season in the church calendar where we're encouraged to wait and prepare for Jesus' second coming as we reflect back on his birth. This morning's message will give us a theology of "coming." Our God is a God who comes to us and He will come again!
