After being explicitly told not to preach about new life in the name of Jesus, the early followers of Jesus gather to pray—not to pray for the oppression to stop, but to pray that they would be bold to proclaim Jesus in the face of opposition. Do we want that same boldness? Join us for “The Prayer” from Acts 4:23-31 as we learn what this prayer has to teach us today!

Our annual One Worship Service was a celebration with worship, communion and baptisms. We combined elements of the traditional and contemporary services for a unified service.

Pastor Tom points out more parallels between the Gospel of Luke and Acts, encourages us in Bible-reading habits, and reminds us of the essential content of the Gospel.

What are the essentials of what came to be called Christianity? Following the healing of a beggar at the temple gate who was “lame form birth,” Peter addressed the gathering crowd with not only Gospel essentials, but by building a case that who Jesus is and what Jesus did is the fulfillment of the entire Jewish Scriptures. Illustrating from Abraham, Moses, Samuel, and “all the prophets” Peter declared that God’s plan of blessing for Israel and the future hope for “all the families of the earth” is centered on Jesus through his death and resurrection. Read all of Acts 3 in preparation for this message from Acts 3:11-26, The Call.

This GO time podcast is a little different than what we’ve done before. We usually interview our missionaries in the weeks leading up to their GO Time weekend and publish it just ahead of their event schedule. In this podcast, I interview Mark and Alyssa Dunker. I last interviewed them three years ago at a time when a lot of things about their ministry were up in the air, as was the whole world in 2020. Here’s a short update with the Dunkers, what they are up to next and how you can pray for them.
