What do you do when God asks you to do something that doesn't make sense?In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Bobby Chandler walks through Ananias' encounter with God and shows us what faith really looks like.Faith isn't pretending you have all the answers.Faith is choosing to obey even when you don't understand.If you've ever questioned God's timing, struggled with His direction, or wondered why He allowed hardship into your life, this message will encourage you to trust Him one step at a time.Sometimes God doesn't explain everything.He simply says..."I will be with you."

Pastor Bobby sits down with Pastor Matt Chewning of Netcast Church in this special AWKN podcast.

Why do we keep going back to the same struggles we thought we had already overcome?In this message from Acts 8, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches about Simon the Sorcerer and what happens when old desires, bitterness, jealousy, and hidden struggles remain in our hearts.Giving your life to Jesus happens in a moment—but transformation is a process.You may still hear the old voices. You may still face temptation. You may still struggle with things from your past. But just because you hear the old voice doesn't mean you have to obey it.God wants your whole heart.Stop hiding what needs healing, surrender it completely to Jesus, and allow Him to transform you from the inside out.Key Scriptures:Acts 7–8Mark 1:22–26Mark 5:6–7Matthew 7:21Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Why do so many Christians keep fighting the same battles over and over again?

In this powerful message, Pastor Matt Chewning explains why trying harder isn't the answer. The Christian life was never meant to be lived in your own strength.

If you've been battling addiction, anxiety, lust, fear, anger, or shame, this message will show you how God designed you to live by the power of the Holy Spirit—not by the power of your own effort.

Stop fighting the flesh with the flesh.
