Paul's sermon in the synagogue at Antioch answers the four Gospel Framework questions: "Who is God? What has God done? Who are we?" and "What are we to do?" in their right priority, making God and His doing the wellspring of our identity and purpose.

In Acts 13:4-12, we see that following the call of God brings real opposition, which has to be met with the determination to make straight paths for the Lord.

God demonstrates His sovereignty and special providence for His people in His holy revelation, disclosure, and commission that He graciously bestows to increase our faith in His perfect faithfulness.

In Acts 12:1-19, and the story of how God rescued Peter from execution, we're treated to a view of God's sovereignty over the world, reframing persecution for us, and helping us rely on Divine power and protection.

In just a few verses at the end of chapter 11 of Acts, we see that God is sovereign in His church, preparing His people for what is to come, providing for them in uncounted ways, and moving them to put their faith into practice.

Observing the church's continued explosive growth, we consider the church as the bride of Christ, giving attention to her need, her strength, and her glory, all of which connect her intimately to Christ Himself.

Pastor Shawn introduces the theme of 𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 & 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 with an encouragement to consider how Peter's personal experience motivated him in a pivotal moment in the expansion of the church.

Phil Prietto of CityGates Ministries brings a word of encouragement and exhortation from 2 Kings 4:1-3.

Shawn brings the prayer focus series full circle with a message on the community of believers, particularly the establishment, essence, and expression of unity.

The third week of our prayer focus asks us to consider the issue of the sanctity of human life in light of the rest of the month's prayer topics: Confession, Community, and (Com)Mission.
