In Acts 19:1-7, we take a closer look at the baptism of the Spirit and its importance to us even today. Pastor Tim encourages us to evaluate our thinking about the subject, identify misconceptions we may have, and challenges us to patiently wait on the Lord's outpouring and movement in our lives.

In Acts 18, we discover the powerful example of Priscilla and Aquila, a couple who faithfully served God and helped develop leaders in the early church. Their story reminds us that God calls and empowers both men and women for ministry, and that humility is essential in both teaching and learning. Join us as we explore what it means to embrace God's calling, empower others, and allow Scripture to shape our understanding of men AND women in leadership.

This Sunday, we welcomed our friends Nolan and Kami to share a word with us.

This message shares some practical ways we can spread the Gospel to anyone we meet, and invites us to see clearly our Beautiful Jesus, our Savior and King. It challenges us to truly see how important He is, and His worthiness to share His love with others by looking at a few examples, like Stephen in Acts 6-7.

In Acts 17, Paul enters Athens—a city filled with intelligent and curious people who know little about the true God. Instead of condemning them, Paul finds common ground, builds bridges through their culture, and moves the conversation toward Jesus.

His example shows us how to share our faith with those who have little or no Christian background. We’re called to connect, engage, and point people toward Jesus—trusting the Holy Spirit to draw, stir, and transform their hearts.

In Acts 17:1–15, Paul and Silas continue sharing the gospel despite opposition and persecution. In Berea, they encounter people who eagerly receive their message while examining the Scriptures for themselves. Their example challenges us to remain faithful to Jesus, become people of the Word, and allow Scripture to shape what we believe and how we live.

Continuing in Acts, chapter 16, Paul and Silas respond to suffering in a remarkable way—not with despair, but with prayer and worship. Before the prison doors ever opened, God was already doing a miracle in their hearts, and their faithfulness became the doorway for the jailer and his entire household to encounter Jesus. This message reminds us that redemption and restoration are more important than relief, and that God wastes nothing we surrender to Him.

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas experience severe persecution after an act of mercy and obedience leads to their arrest, beating, and imprisonment. Their story reminds us that following Jesus doesn’t mean avoiding hardship — in fact, persecution can come because we are faithfully doing what is right. Yet even in suffering, God can deepen our connection with Jesus, strengthen our faith, and open doors for greater ministry as we choose to follow Him no matter the cost.

Acts 15 tackles a major challenge in the early church: how Jewish and Gentile believers could become one family without adding requirements to the gospel of grace. Through the Jerusalem Council, we’re reminded that salvation comes by grace through faith alone—but spiritual maturity calls us to something more: willingly laying down our freedoms for the sake of others and living lives of purity that reflect Jesus. As followers of Christ, we’re called to pursue both unity within the church and a distinct, faithful witness to the world.
