In Acts 15–16, we see that following Jesus isn't always a straight path. Paul and Barnabas' disagreement, Timothy's willingness to remove barriers for the sake of the gospel, and Paul's unexpected detours all reveal the same truth: the Holy Spirit is leading the mission. Even when plans change, doors close, or conflict arises, God is still at work. Join us as we discover how to trust God's guidance one step at a time, knowing that what feels like a setback may actually be His perfect direction.

In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas remind us that following Jesus isn't measured by comfort, popularity, or visible success, but by faithful obedience. As they face opposition, rejection, and hardship, they continue proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, and giving God the glory for every open door He provides. Join us as we discover why the same gospel produces different responses, why suffering is an expected part of following Christ, and how our calling is to faithfully plant seeds, invest in people, and trust God to bring the growth.

As Paul and Barnabas proclaim the gospel in Acts 13, we see that the good news of Jesus is for everyone. God's promise of salvation is fulfilled through Christ, offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life to all who believe. But the message also calls for a response.

In this message from our Road Trip series, we'll explore what it means to hear the Word, humbly accept the Word, and faithfully spread the Word. No matter your background or story, the gospel changes everything—and it's good news meant to be shared.

In this message from our Road Trip series, Hope Bringers: Set Apart and Sent, we look at the church in Antioch and its example of living on mission. Through Acts 11 and 13, we see a diverse, Spirit-led church that cared for others, embraced God's call across cultures, and sent people out to share the good news of Jesus.

As we explore the sending of Barnabas and Saul, we're challenged to consider where God is leading us, how He wants to use us to impact our community, and what it looks like to join His work in the world today.

We’re kicking off our summer series, Road Trip, by exploring the missionary journeys of Paul and what it means to be sent by God as hope bringers, Spirit followers, and Kingdom builders.

In this message, we look at Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus, the faithful obedience of Ananias, and the intentional investment of Barnabas. Their stories remind us that God is the one who reaches people—but He often chooses to work through us.

As you listen, consider:

Scripture: Acts 9:1-30; Acts 11:19-26

Bible Project Video (Acts Overview):

What did Jesus actually teach about the end times?

In Matthew 24, Jesus answers His disciples' questions about the destruction of the Temple, His return, and the end of the age. This message explores the difference between the events surrounding Jerusalem's fall in AD 70 and the future return of Christ, while addressing common misunderstandings about biblical prophecy.

Most importantly, Jesus reminds us that no one knows the day or hour of His return. Rather than focusing on predicting the future, He calls His followers to remain faithful, ready, and watchful in their relationship with God as they await His coming.

What does it look like to build a table that reflects the heart of Jesus?

In this message from our Listen to Jesus series, we explore Jesus' teaching on hospitality and His example of welcoming those who are often overlooked, excluded, or pushed to the margins. Through His words and actions, Jesus challenges us to move beyond comfort and convenience, creating space for genuine relationships, deeper compassion, and a community where everyone belongs.

Join us as we consider how the love of Christ can shape the way we see, serve, and walk alongside one another.

In a world that constantly tells us to accumulate more, what does Jesus say about our relationship with wealth, time, and identity?

This week, as we continue our Listen to Jesus series, we welcome guest speaker Mario Romero to share a powerful message rooted in Luke 12:13-21. Looking closely at the Parable of the Rich Fool, Mario challenges us to look beyond what we are holding onto and discover the true freedom found in the Kingdom of God.

In our Listen to Jesus series, we wrestle with one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings: divorce and the nature of marriage. Looking at Matthew 5 and Matthew 19, we explore God’s design for marriage, the pain and complexity of divorce, and the grace Jesus offers in the middle of brokenness. This message is both honest and hope-filled, reminding us that God’s grace fills the gap between where we are and where He calls us to be.

What happens after this life—and how should it impact the way we live today? In this message from our Listen to Jesus series, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 and what they reveal about eternity, judgment, and the kind of life that reflects true faith.

Jesus makes it clear that a genuine relationship with Him produces humility, compassion, and love for others—especially those in need. We also look at the difference between outward religion and real transformation through the Holy Spirit.

This message is a call to draw near to Jesus, open our eyes to the needs around us, and follow His lead each day.
