In Acts 13, we encounter a powerful narrative of the early church's mission and the transformative power of the gospel. This passage demonstrates the importance of the mission of the church through worship, fasting, and prayer as the church in Antioch sought God's direction. In Cyprus we read about the power of the gospel with Elymas the sorcerer and Sergius Paulus, demonstrating that the truth of God's word can overcome both intellectual skepticism and spiritual deception.

In this sermon on Acts 12, we're reminded that the Christian journey isn't always smooth sailing. We witness the early church facing intense persecution, with James martyred and Peter imprisoned. Yet, in the midst of these trials, we see the unwavering power of prayer and God's sovereign hand at work. The miraculous prison escape of Peter serves as a testament to God's ability to overcome any obstacle, reminding us that nothing is impossible for our Lord. This narrative challenges us to examine our own prayer lives and trust in God's perfect timing and purposes, even when circumstances seem dire. It's a call to deepen our understanding of God's character, knowing that a bigger view of God leads to bolder prayers and stronger faith.

In Acts 11, we encounter a powerful testament to God's unwavering hand in building His church. The chapter reveals how the gospel message transcends cultural boundaries, as we witness the further inclusion of Gentiles into God's family. The transformative power of repentance is highlighted, showing us that turning to Christ leads to true life. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to embrace a life of continuous repentance, always turning away from sin and towards our Savior. The story of Barnabas and his encouragement of the Antioch church serves as a beautiful example of how we can uplift and strengthen our fellow believers. Are we, like Barnabas, instruments in the Redeemer's hand, ready to encourage and build up the body of Christ?

In this sermon on Acts 10, we're invited to witness a pivotal moment in the early church - the breaking down of barriers between Jew and Gentile. Through Peter's vision of unclean animals and his encounter with Cornelius, we see God's heart for all people, regardless of their background. The message is clear: the Gospel is for everyone.

In this exploration of Acts 9:32-43, we're reminded of the extraordinary power of God to heal and restore. The miraculous healings of Aeneas and the resurrection of Tabitha (Dorcas) demonstrate that Jesus is still at work, even after His ascension. These accounts aren't just historical anecdotes; they're profound reminders that God knows our suffering and can intervene in ways we can't imagine.

In this powerful exploration of Acts 9 from Pastor Glenn, we witness the extraordinary transformation of Saul, a zealous persecutor of Christians, into Paul, one of the most influential apostles of Christ. This account reminds us that no one is beyond God's reach or His transformative power. We see how Saul's encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus completely altered his understanding of Jesus and the Scriptures. This dramatic conversion challenges us to examine our own perceptions of Christ and ask ourselves: Do we truly know Him, or are we resisting a figment of our imagination? The story emphasizes that genuine transformation comes not from our own efforts, but through God's revelation and grace. It invites us to remain open to God's work in our lives and in the lives of those around us, even when change seems impossible.

Pastor Luke concluded our Gospel Home series with an insightful exploration of friendship through a biblical lens. The sermon emphasized how gospel-driven friendships are crucial for living out our faith and navigating life's challenges. Drawing from Proverbs, the story of David and Jonathan, and Jesus' own words, we learned that true friendship is essential, grounded in mutual commitment to each other and to the Lord, and ultimately reflects our friendship with Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, we're challenged to reexamine our relationship with money through a gospel lens. The central theme revolves around the idea that God owns everything, as highlighted in Colossians 1:15-17. This fundamental truth reshapes our understanding of stewardship - we're not owners, but managers of God's resources. 

In our exploration of singleness through the lens of 1 Corinthians 7, we uncover a profound truth: singleness is a gift from God, not a lesser state of being. Paul's words challenge our cultural assumptions, reminding us that fullness of life is found in Christ, not in our relationship status.
