When you hang around people long enough, you learn what they care about.  When Peter and John faced opposition in Acts 4, they didn’t ask God to remove their problems. They prayed for something even greater: boldness. Instead of choosing comfort, they asked for courage to keep following Jesus no matter the cost. What do your prayers reveal about what you truly want?

In week 10 of our series through the book of Acts, Pastor Kevin Queen explores how prayer transforms us before it changes our circumstances. As we remember God’s sovereignty, pray His Word and trust His presence, we discover the courage to live boldly even in seasons of fear, uncertainty and suffering.

Prayer is the most powerful tool on the planet, but what if the greatest prayer you could pray isn’t, “God, make my life easier,” but, “God, make me more like Jesus”?

Have you ever wished you could go back and rewrite a chapter of your life? In Acts 4, Peter finds himself standing before the same religious leaders connected to one of his greatest failures. Just weeks earlier, he denied even knowing Jesus. Now, under pressure once again, Peter responds with courage and conviction. What changed?

This message explores how God redeems our failures, transforms our hearts and empowers us to live differently. Peter’s story reminds us that our worst moments do not have to define our future. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God can bring restoration where there was regret and boldness where there was fear.

Where have past mistakes continued to shape your present? What tends to come out of you when you’re under pressure? How might God be inviting you to trust Him with a place of failure or regret?

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, making the same mistakes, or carrying the same struggles no matter how hard you try to change?

In week eight of our Acts series, Here for Good, Pastor Dwan Hill explores Peter’s message following the miraculous healing of a man who had never walked before. While the crowd focused on the miracle, Peter pointed them to something even deeper: the power of Jesus to heal what’s broken beneath the surface.

Acts 3 reminds us that God created the world good, but sin has distorted what He intended. Left on our own, we often find ourselves trapped in cycles of striving, shame, and self-reliance. But through Jesus, there is another way. Peter’s invitation to “repent and turn to God” isn’t about punishment or guilt. It’s an invitation to freedom, refreshing, healing, and restoration.

Whether you’re carrying hidden struggles, searching for a fresh start, or wondering if real change is possible, this message offers hope that God can meet you exactly where you are and begin transforming your life from the inside out.

In week six of our journey through Acts, we encounter a moment where Peter and John meet a man who had spent his entire life waiting for someone to help him. What follows is a powerful reminder that God often works through ordinary people who are willing to make themselves available.

Many of us focus on what we lack: time, resources, influence, confidence, or experience. But Acts 3:1-10 challenges us to ask a different question. What if God wants to use what we already have? What if availability matters more than ability?

As we study the healing of the man at the temple gate, we’ll discover how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary followers of Jesus to make an extraordinary impact. This message will encourage you to trust God with what He’s placed in your hands and take your next step of faith.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life matters, whether God can use your testimony, or whether you can make a difference in the lives of others, this message is for you!

Peter didn’t know how people would respond to his first sermon, but thanks to the Holy Spirit, it made quite an impact! In Acts 2:37-47, he finishes preaching the first sermon in church history, and the response is IMMEDIATE. Thousands of people are convicted, repent, and put their trust in Jesus. But this moment isn’t just about a crowd making a decision. It’s about what happens when the Holy Spirit transforms a person’s heart and begins building a new kind of community.

In week six of our study through Acts, Pastor Kevin Queen explores how the Holy Spirit works through the gospel to bring conviction, lead people to repentance, and draw them into a life of following Jesus. Peter’s message reminds us that the power of the gospel has never depended on human eloquence or perfect words. The Holy Spirit is still changing lives today.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God is at work in your life, or what it looks like to respond when He speaks, this message is for you.

Are you afraid of saying the wrong thing when talking about Jesus? Many of us overthink sharing our faith because we feel unqualified, nervous, or unsure of what to say. But in Acts 2:13-36, we see Peter preach the very first sermon in church history, not through perfect preparation or confidence in himself, but through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In week five of our study through the book of Acts, Pastor Kevin Queen walks through Peter’s bold message and reminds us that God does not call perfect people, He empowers willing people. The same Holy Spirit that gave Peter courage is still at work today, helping ordinary people point others toward Jesus.

This message explores how fear can be reframed, why the gospel always points back to Jesus, and how God works through our weakness and insecurity. If you have ever wondered whether God could really use you to make a difference in someone’s life, this message is for you.

Have you ever wished God would just make things clearer? Most of us want certainty before we take a step forward, but faith rarely works that way. In Acts 2:1-12, the followers of Jesus are waiting, uncertain, and without clarity when suddenly the Holy Spirit moves in a way they never expected.

In week four of our series through the book of Acts, Pastor Kevin Queen explores why God often gives us trust before clarity. The Holy Spirit wasn’t sent to make life easier or more comfortable. He was sent to lead us deeper into dependence on Jesus. When we stop chasing control and start trusting God in the unknown, we begin to experience His presence and power in a new way.

If you’re navigating uncertainty, waiting for answers, or struggling to trust God – this message is for you.

In this powerful Mother’s Day conversation, we hear from one of Cross Point’s resilient moms, worship leader Cheryl Stark. Cheryl talks to Rea Queen sharing her story of grief, motherhood, fear, loss, and ultimately discovering the faithfulness of God through every season. 

This conversation speaks to anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, grief, disappointment, fear, or the feeling that life is not unfolding the way they hoped. Through every valley, Cheryl’s testimony is that God is still present, still faithful, and still bringing hope. This is what it looks like to trust God in the middle of uncertainty.

Whether this Mother’s Day is joyful, complicated, painful, or somewhere in between, our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to keep holding on, keep trusting God, and remember that you are not alone.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to make the right decision? Whether it’s about your future, relationships, or something weighing on you right now; how do you know which way to go? In Acts 1:12–26, the disciples face a major decision. But before they act, they pray, seek God’s Word, and move forward together in faith. What if the way they made decisions is *exactly* what we’ve been missing?

Pastor Kevin Queen walks through this powerful moment in the early church and challenges us with a deeper question: Are you actually letting Jesus guide your decisions, or are you just following your feelings? At the end of the day, while we make thousands of decisions every day, there’s one that shapes all the rest: Will we trust Jesus?

If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling with uncertainty, or facing a big decision, this message will encourage you with practical truth and spiritual clarity. No matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
God isn’t trying to confuse you, He wants to lead you.

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him… but nothing makes sense? In Acts 1:4–8, Jesus gives His disciples a confusing and even dangerous command: go back to Jerusalem, the very place that just crucified Him, and wait. No plan. No explanation. Just trust.

In week two of our journey through the book of Acts, Pastor James Savage unpacks a tension we all feel: we often want clarity, but Jesus invites trust. Because every perfect plan of God isn’t initiated by people – it’s initiated by the Holy Spirit.

This message explores the real question beneath it all: not “Do I understand Jesus?” but “Do I trust Him?” And if we’re honest, many of us trust Jesus with eternity… but struggle to trust Him with our everyday lives. So what would it look like to trust Jesus with your relationships, your future, your decisions, and your identity?
