Do you struggle to feel confident when you pray? In this powerful Father’s Day message from our ACTS: The Movement series, we continue exploring what it means to become a praying church and a praying people. 

Looking at Acts 12:1–5, we see the early church praying very earnestly while Peter was in prison. This sermon builds confidence in prayer by reminding us that God’s presence is with us, we are invited to His throne, and our Father hears every word we pray. 

You don’t have to pray from fear, insecurity, or uncertainty. Because of Jesus, you can approach God boldly, knowing that you are welcomed, loved, and heard.

Commit or recommit today to building a strong prayer life with confidence that God is with you in it.

Are you living your faith casually, or are you running to win?

In this message from 1 Corinthians 9, we dive into Paul’s challenge for believers to live with discipline, purpose, and eternal perspective. Just like an athlete trains with intention for a prize, followers of Jesus are called to pursue spiritual growth, practice self-control, and stay focused on what truly matters.

Don’t spend your life chasing temporary rewards. Run your race with purpose, build faithfully in private, and keep your eyes fixed on the eternal prize God has prepared for you.

Run with purpose. Train with discipline. Live for what lasts forever.

What do you do when God speaks, but criticism, fear, insecurity, or the enemy starts objecting? In this message from our ACTS: The Movement series, we look at Peter’s encounter with the Jerusalem believers in Acts 11 and how they moved from criticism to praise when they saw what God was doing.

God had spoken to Peter. God had used Peter. But Peter still had to face scrutiny. This sermon will help you recognize the voices that try to object to God’s purpose in your life, the voice of others, your own voice, and the voice of the enemy, and learn how to stand firm in God’s calling.

You are called to Jesus. You are called to His mission. And you have a unique assignment. Stop objecting and start obeying.

In this Pentecost Sunday message from the ACTS: The Movement series, we return to Acts 1 and 2 to see how the early church waited, prayed, worshiped, and received the power of the Holy Spirit. This sermon calls believers to spiritual hunger, a deeper desire for God, and a renewed pursuit of His presence.

Discover why “suddenlies follow everydays,” how Pentecost points to harvest, holiness, and God’s presence, and why Jesus told His disciples to wait until they were clothed with power from heaven.

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul confronts a shocking issue in the church — believers suing other believers in secular courts. But this isn’t just about lawsuits. It’s about pride, humility, authority, and how Christians handle conflict.

What does it mean that believers will one day judge the world and angels? Why would Paul say it’s better to “take the loss” than to fight for your rights? And how should the cross reshape the way we respond to injustice?

This message challenges us to rethink conflict, surrender our pride, and trust God enough to choose unity over personal victory.

Sometimes honoring Jesus means taking an “L.”

In Acts 9, Saul’s dramatic conversion didn’t end on the Damascus road — it continued through the people God placed around him. Ananias helped him see. Other believers helped him escape danger. Barnabas saw his potential and believed in him when no one else would.

We all have blind spots. We all face trouble. We all need encouragement.

The Holy Spirit works through people — and spiritual growth often happens in relationships. Everybody needs somebody… and we’re all called to be somebody for someone else.

If you’ve ever needed help seeing clearly, getting out of trouble, or stepping into your purpose — this message is for you.
