After 28 chapters, the book of Acts ends with the Apostle Paul in prison still preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Acts doesn’t end with information or answers; it ends with an open-ended invitation. As with any great story, the end is really just the beginning. The story that Jesus is writing through His church continues today, and we get to play a part! What will be our verse? What mi...

Acts 27:1-44 – Shake and Shape. Storms. We all face them, but very rarely do we face them well. The difficult thing about walking through pain in life is that it often comes out of nowhere and creates situations in life that are out of our control. However, God often does some of his most powerful and formative work in our lives through the storms. It is often the situations that shake us most sev...

Evidence of Hope – Acts 26:1-32 In Acts 26, Paul find himself on on trial before King Agrippa. The reason for his trial is fascinating. Paul states, “I am on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers.” On trial because of HOPE! All of us will be on trial because of our hope, the question is, will there be enough evidence to convict us? In this section of scripture, Paul gi...

Acts 20:1-38 – The Apostle Paul planted 14 churches that we know about, penned 13 letters through the leading of the Holy Spirit that are included in our New Testament, and traveled over 10,000 miles on various missionary journeys. What was it that allowed Paul to keep going through all that he encountered? He answers that question for us in Acts 20 by telling Ephesians elders what he built his li...

Acts 19:11-41 – The church at Ephesus got off to quite the start! In fact, Luke’s recording of what happened in Ephesus is the best example we have of a city wide revival happening in the New Testament. If you’re hoping for revival, praying for renewal, or longing to see God move; take a listen to this message.

Acts 18:1-28 Does God care if his people are encouraged? In this chapter of Acts we see that he does! Paul is coming off a tough season in ministry and he is at the end of his rope. I just the right time God brings Priscilla and Aquilla to be his partners in ministry. God sustains Paul through relationship, speaks to him directly, and teaches the believers in community. He longs to do the same for...

Acts 17:16-34 - In 1961 AW Tozer wrote, "What you think about when you think about God is the most important thing about you." I think the apostle Paul would have agreed. And ask chapter 17, Paul gives one of the most famous sermons recorded in the Scriptures. The entire goal of Paul's sermon is to give the Fenians a completely different view of God. The apostle Paul is convinced that our view of...

Dr. Scott Wenig - This weeks message is about the providence of God. The healthy response to God's providential hand in our lives is to reflect on what God is preparing us for. Learn how to look at your past and respond to God's work in your life in the present.

Romans 5:1-17 God doesn't want you to survive 2015, he wants you to thrive in 2015. But, that thriving doesn't happen as we try harder, it happens as we rest in the reality of all that Jesus had accomplished on our behalf. Faith gives us a place to stand before it gives us a job to do. So before you set out to strive into the new year, stand in the goodness of the gospel.

Matthew 8:1-4 It is often difficult to interact with God because of our own weakness, sin, or failures. We feel as though God must be, at the least, mildly upset with us. This story in the book of Matthew demonstrates a different kind of God. Jesus reaches into the dirtiest places to show us his love. Jesus ignored social faux pas's and more in order to reach this man. He continues to do that toda...

Luke 1:46-55 – Mary’s song; The Magnificat. Some have gone so far as to say this little song recorded by Luke is one of the most revolutionary documents in the history of the world! At first glance it might not seem that significant, but let us let Mary sing a little bit. When you listen to her words, you start to hear a revolution. See, Mary wasn’t just carrying a baby, she was carrying a hope. A...

Matthew 2:1-12 – We know how to receive presents, we know how to receive a president, but do we know how to receive a King? The reality is that all of us have anointed a king over our lives. In this message we we’ll learn from the Magi how we anoint a king and specifically how to anoint Jesus King over our lives!

Luke 2:1-7 Joy to the world, the Lord is come; let earth receive her king! We made the point last week that the hope of Christmas is far more about a King coming to reign than it is about a baby being born. Indeed, Jesus has come and Jesus does reign… today… for real! Because Jesus reigns today, he has a Kingdom that he reigns over. There is a lot of misunderstanding about his Kingdom. We address...

We invite you to join us at South Fellowship Church this Christmas season as we rejoice like never before! The celebration of Jesus’ birth has evolved into a lot of things: a time for families to get together, exchanging of presents, consuming fruitcake, drinking egg nog, and singing songs about figgy pudding. Along with all of these traditions, on Christmas we celebrate that Jesus was born in ord...

Acts 16:6-40: The word ‘worship’ conjure up all sorts of images in our mind. When we think of worship we think of: singing, church, worship bands or choirs, etc. When some people hear the word ‘worship’ they immediately think ‘boring.’ In this message we explore one of the purposes for worship in the life of a believer – it is a weapon! Worship is a weapon that changes our world and our hearts.

Acts 15:36-16:5 – Friends are friends forever, if the Lord’s the Lord of them… well, sometimes! In this passage of scripture we explore Paul and Barnabas’ epic breakup and the way God continues to use them both in the building of His Kingdom.

Acts 15:1-35 – In one of the most significant chapters in the entire Bible, the Jerusalem Council affirms that salvation comes by faith alone in Christ alone. They declare unequivocally that Jesus is sufficient! Listen as we explore the ways as current followers of Jesus we can embrace this same affirmation and live in the way of the Risen Christ.

Acts 13 & 14 – We all live in a story; we have a way that we view the world (a world view) and a way that we think about God. The people the Apostle Paul spoke to people lived in a story too. It’s fascinating to see that way that Paul steps into their story, dissects it, and leads them to Jesus. Not all paths lead to God, but God meets people on all paths and leads them to Jesus!

Acts 13 - One of the hardest things we encounter in life can be surrendering the dream of what we hoped might look like to embrace the reality of what is. I’m convinced the early church had to wrestle through this process in the same way that we do today. They gave up their brightest and their best (Paul and Barnabas) and sent them off for the sake of the kingdom. We see in this passage of scriptu...

Acts 12:1-25 Let's be honest... sometimes it seems like God is inconsistent. One of his beloved disciples gets his head cut off and the other is miraculously released from jail. How do we navigate life when it's hard to predict what God is going to do? How do we have faith in real life?

2 Corinthians 2:14-4:7 - It’s easy to fall into one of two extremes – to think of ourselves more highly than we ought or to think of ourselves too lowly. In 2 Corinthians 2:14-4:7the Apostle Paul gives followers of Jesus four pictures of the reality of the life we live in Jesus. We were created in the image of God for the mission of God. Listen as we explore the beautiful invitation extended by a...

2 Corinthians 3:18 : Everybody knows it… we were designed for relationships. We were created to know and to be known. But, that isn’t an easy thing. In many ways the dawn of the Enlightenment Era invited us to embrace the prominence of the autonomous self. However, on a deep seeded level, we all know we were created for more. In fact, the bible doesn’t say that community is a good way to enhance o...
