Proverbs 30:24–31 shows us that even the smallest and weakest creatures overcome fear through wisdom, not strength. Like ants, conies, locusts, and spiders, we too can face the anxieties of our generation by clinging to Christ.

Hear how God used the Spring Retreat in the lives of our growing leaders.

Every local church is a collection of diverse people seeking to live and serve in unity as they worship God. Having a common vision and ministering under common principles is integral to each of us individually being who God has made us to be. (Eph 4:16)

Acts 28:16-31 As we close out our study in Acts, Paul provides us with one more reminder of the faith, character and doctrine of the apostles. Just as abruptly as Paul story ends, ours begins. Will we take the gospel to a world in need of Jesus?

Acts 28:1-15 Paul is shipwrecked on the island of Malta and to top off an already crazy situation, he is bit by a poisonous snake and survives. Soon he is healing people from all over the island. Paul was gifted in a unique way by God, but we too have been gifted with the ability to be a sign of God’s magnificent power and love. Are you a window to the power of God?

Acts 27:26-44 When people lose faith and begin to fear, how should the body of Christ respond? What does it look like to lead in the midst of life’s storms? Today we observe Paul as he exemplifies true spiritual leadership and calls others to faith and obedience despite their circumstances.

Acts 27:16-25 Paul is being taken by armed guard and ship to Rome to stand before Caesar’s tribunal. On the way, they face the Eurocyldon, a seasonal storm that threatens their very lives. In today's sermon, we address how most people react to trials and hardship in their lives; then we reverse those reactions to discover how Christians find confidence and peace in God.

Acts 27:1-15 Paul, a prisoner of two years, sets out for Rome under the watch care of the Roman authorities. This windy sea journey becomes increasingly arduous and by the end of the chapter, it will be disastrous. In today's sermon, we learn to watch the movements of the wind in order to get a better idea of how the enemy seeks to undermine God’s plan for your life and make a disaster of your mission.

Acts 25:12-27 / Acts 26

King Agrippa comes to visit Festus and while he is in Caesarea he takes time to listen to Paul and hear directly from Paul in order to better understand the case against him. Paul capitalizes on this opportunity by preaching the gospel. In today’s sermon, we learn a important lessons on what it means to truly have a “ready gospel”.

Luke 8:4-10

Brandon teaches the parable of the Sower and the different types of soil that seeds can fall on.

He That Hath Ears: The Disciple

In a world that is training us to constantly be afraid, the Christian has the ability to be confident. After years of imprisonment and bureaucratic corruption, Paul has lost almost all control over his life. In this sermon, we look at Paul’s testimony of boldness in order to discover where his confidence comes from.

Acts 24:22-27

The Bible says a lot about what it means to be foolish. In Acts 24 we come across one of the truest examples of what it means to be a fool. In today's sermon, we discover just how avoidable foolishness can be as well as the dangers of choosing ignorance over Christ.

Acts 24:1-22

If we are going to be mission-minded Christians, living out our faith in service to Christ, we will need to anticipate an enemy that will make claims about us that aren’t true. These lies have the potential to seep into our hearts and minds and distract us from the thing we set out to do. Today we will address what to do when we face accusations.

Acts 23:11-35

Paul sits in a jail cell while zealots from the religious community gather to conspire against his life. Just like Paul, we face a conspirator that is not theoretical, he is very real and he has been working against believers since the beginning of time. We are going to discuss what it means to acknowledge the enemies that surround us as well as discuss what it means to humbly trust the Lord to help us navigate situations outside of our control.

Acts 23:1-11

Paul is once again brought before a hostile crowd, this time his old friends the Sanhedrin. Paul’s composure in the face of hatred is amazing and gives us insight in what it means to be Spirit-filled in the midst of trial and enmity with the world.

Acts 22:22-30

In today's sermon, we see Paul deliver the gospel to a mob of Jews and get rejected outright. The result of him speaking the truth almost culminated in a Roman scourging until he spoke up and defended himself under Roman law. What we discover about Paul and his decision-making is that whether he faced suffering or escape, Paul always sided with the truth. In reflection, do you share that same passion?

Acts 22:1-23

As Paul is led by Roman authorities into the courtyard for questioning, he is followed by a mass of Jewish people. He requests an opportunity to speak and rather than defending himself, he instead defends the gospel. He doesn’t make a doctrinal argument, he appeals to them with his testimony. How can we learn to unapologetically share our story of our faith?

Acts 21:27-40

Paul is doing all he knows to do to appease the people of Jerusalem and yet he still finds himself betrayed, lied about and beaten. Today we examine what it means to make sense of chaotic situations, when we feel confused or misled by others or our own thoughts and emotions.
