Galen ended this week's sermon with the idea that "Living things grow, and growing things change." We'll talk about how this affected the early church, modern church, and the call to action on Acts 6 for each of us.

Living things grow. Growing things change. Galen visits the growing structure of the early church and what we can learn from it in the modern one.

Today we start a little "in the weeds" stepping further into the oikonomia idea Galen presented and how it fits into the theological model called Dispensationalism.

BUT THEN we get back to more applicable questions of how well we follow the examples of the first Christians in the days after the Pentacost.

We in Wyoming don't have difficulty imagining the mighty roaring wind that came through the room the day the Holy Spirit arrived. But what about the way the people who it fell upon changed; the boldness and courage? That is something we should also be able to attest to, but how often do we feel the Spirit burning inside us?

The first chapter of Acts covered by Pastor Galen in our new series contains Luke's account of the Great Commission, in which Jesus called his disciples to go and spread the news. But how does this affect us, today? We share the commission given the early church leaders, so who are our personal versions of these groups? Who is your Jerusalem? Your Judea? And what about your Samaria?

Just as Jesus' final word on the cross "Tetelestai" marked both the completion and beginning of stages in God's plan, so does the phrase both end our Easter series and begin our 3-month journey into the Book of Acts.

Pastor Jon is the newest addition to the Cheyenne Hills staff as our Associate Pastor, and one of his passions is what we call Grow Groups. We discuss the curcial nature of relationships with groups of Christians on our spiritual health and growth.

Kasey and Jacob are joined in the studio by Cheyenne Hills' Lead Pastor Galen Huck and new Associate Pastor Jon Simpson as we discuss our Good Friday and Easter messages, as well as what we hope to take on through the next year so we don't forget, and we don't "miss it."

Pastor Galen rounds off our Unexpected series with the most unexpected event in history: Jesus returning from the dead. He is Risen!

Three speakers explore the experiences and lessons of three individuals during the 18 hours prior to Jesus' crucifixion.
