Stephen’s story forces us to wrestle with the realities of sharing our faith. How can we know the gospel is true? What are we actually asking people to do? And what happens when they don’t want to hear it? Acts 6–7 reminds us that because the gospel is true and sinners need Christ, we proclaim it faithfully—regardless of the response.
Do we really need organized religion?
Why does the church need organization at all? Acts 6 shows us that as the church grows, important things—and important people—can be neglected. Healthy church structure protects what matters while empowering ordinary believers to participate in God’s mission.

If God is really at work, why are there still so many problems in the church and/or in my life? Acts 5 shows us a church facing corruption from within and persecution from without—yet God’s work continues.
God’s power is not seen primarily in the prevention of problems, but in what He produces through them: purification in the church and perseverance in His people.

What if your limitations aren’t obstacles to God’s plan, but opportunities?
In Acts 2, Jesus has given His followers an overwhelming mission: take the gospel to the ends of the earth. There’s just one problem—they don’t appear capable of doing it. They lack formal training, they face enormous cultural and language barriers, and they have no power to change anyone’s heart.
Then Pentecost happens.
The Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people to do what they could never accomplish on their own. But the evidence of the Spirit’s work doesn’t end with wind, fire, tongues, and 3,000 people being saved. It continues in a community devoted to learning, praying, giving, gathering, worshiping, and witnessing.
In this message from our Plan A series through Acts, we discover an encouraging truth:
Your inability is not an obstacle to God’s activity.
You may not have the talent, training, resources, or confidence you think you need. God’s Plan A has never depended upon extraordinary people—it depends upon ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever felt like you're not who you want to be, you're not where you want to be, or you're not doing what you thought you'd be doing? It's easy to believe that someday, somewhere, something will finally make life feel significant.
Acts 1 challenges us to see our lives differently.
As Jesus prepares His disciples for what comes next, they want answers about the future. Instead, Jesus gives them power and a plan: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…” (Acts 1:8).
In this opening message of the Plan A series through the Book of Acts, we discover that purpose isn't found by waiting for a better opportunity, a better place, or a better version of ourselves. You don't need a different plan. You need to step into God's plan.
Why not me? Why not here? Why not now?

Conversion is critical, but we also need connection. Are you willing to help?
In Acts 9, Saul's dramatic conversion on the Damascus Road is one of the most famous stories in Scripture. But behind Paul's transformation stands an often-overlooked disciple named Ananias. While Jesus saved Saul, God used Ananias to help Saul move from conversion to connection.
Using the image of a Sherpa—a guide who helps climbers reach places they've never been before—we explore how God grows believers through people who walk alongside them. Ananias didn't simply point Saul toward the mountain; he helped him climb it.
In this opening message of the series, we discover six characteristics of a "Gospel Sherpa" and are challenged to become the kind of disciple-maker who helps others grow in Christ. Every Saul needs an Ananias. The question is: Who is yours, and who might God be calling you to guide?
Are you ready for Christ's return? In 2 Peter 3, Peter challenges believers to move beyond prophecy debates and focus on what truly matters: growing in holiness and godliness. Discover three common distractions that keep Christians from being prepared and learn how to live with urgency, stability, and hope as we await the return of Jesus Christ.
Why should we trust the Bible and treat it differently than every other book? In this message from 2 Peter 1:16–21, we see that Scripture is not man’s opinion about God, but God’s inspired Word given to reveal Himself, guide our lives, and shine light in a dark world. If the Bible truly comes from God, then it deserves more than a place on our shelf — it deserves our trust, attention, obedience, and devotion.
That sounded good, but was it right? More importantly, it sounds right, but is that what the Bible really says?
What are your spiritual, emotional, and moral vulnerabilities that a false teacher could easily exploit?
False teaching rarely appears obvious, dangerous, or easy to spot. In 2 Peter 2, Peter warns that deceptive voices are often attractive, persuasive, and appealing to our deepest vulnerabilities. This message explores four characteristics of “unsteady souls” and challenges us to identify where we may be tempted to believe what sounds good instead of what God says is true. Discover how to become grounded in Scripture, discerning in a world of competing voices, and stable in your walk with Christ.
What truths are being repeated and reinforced in your life and home? In this message from 2 Peter 1:12–15, we explore Peter’s final burden before his death: helping believers remember, reinforce, and remain rooted in God’s Word. Discover why repeated truth shapes spiritual stability, how discipleship goes beyond information to transformation, and how the words and values we consistently model today may become the legacy remembered long after we are gone.
