Bible Teacher Jessica LaGrone brought a powerful message from John 2. Diving into the story of the wedding in Cana, Jessica shows how desperation can be a fruitful place. We were made to reach the end of our own efforts - and turn to Jesus. The miracle you need may begin when you confess your need to Jesus.

This Sunday Clay taught out of Acts 27, exploring a question that everyone wrestles with. Why does God allow us to go through storms in life? Seasons of testing are one way that God teaches us to cling to him above all else. God does not let us walk through these times alone; He is with us. The outcome that he is after is a heart that trusts Him more than ever.

In a message from Acts 26, pastor Dan Slagle looks at Paul’s evangelical account before King Agrippa and how Paul goes about sharing Jesus with him. The scriptures show us that God is opening doors for sharing the Gospel with others and how our own personal story is powerful in sharing who Jesus is and what He’s done for us on the cross. When God has done something so transformative for us, how can we not share that with others?!

The greatest gift we can give any human is an introduction to the God who loves them. We are each surrounded by people who don't know the Lord - and it's easy to be intimidated at the idea of sharing our faith. Steve reminds us that the Gospel frees us and covers us. And so many others need that same good news.

Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins calls us to recognize the idols in our lives. He does not encourage us to love our children, jobs, and friends less - but to love Jesus more. We all have idols in our lives: any good thing that we make the ultimate thing is an idol. Only remarkable sacrifice can destroy an idol. And only Jesus can ultimately satisfy. His death on the cross is the path to freedom and victory.

Founding Pastor Ken Werlein challenges us to submit all areas of life to Jesus. In a message from Acts 19, we saw that while in Ephesus, Paul did more than teach and preach. As the Spirit of God moved, the people turned from evil and occult practices. Just as they burned their evil possessions, we must be willing to completely eradicate anything that stands between us and Jesus. Ken reminds us no matter the sin, Jesus can lead us to freedom and victory.

Dan Slagle taught out of Acts 18. Priscilla and Aquila give us a good example of a marriage where the husband and wife are on mission together. Even though we don't have any words of Priscilla and Aquila recorded, their actions reveal that God was the primary focus of their lives. By prioritizing their relationship with God, with one another, and service to others they set an example that we can still learn from today.

Disillusionment is one way that God refines His children. If we are willing to take an honest journey and cling to Jesus, disillusionment will lead us somewhere beautiful. Peter's life shows us that wholeness in Christ integrates both knowing and feeling the truth of the gospel. It only comes after we shed our illusions about who Jesus is. He is committed to proving our faith genuine.

Paul doesn't mock the worldview of the unbelievers at Mars Hill. Instead he begins by seeing the good in them. By following his example, we can show unbelievers that the cross make sense of their pain and struggles. In this way, we can reach our family, neighbors, and city with the Good News of Jesus!

In Acts 16, God uses an earthquake to allow Paul and Silas to show their jailer what true, life-giving, soul-restoring, Christian community looks like. In the modern era where we are increasingly isolated, life-changing community isn’t just a perk of the Christian faith, it is an essential part of being a follower of Christ.
