Jon finishes up chapter 6 and 7.

In this message Steve is looking at Acts 6:1–7, where we explore how growth, while exciting, inevitably brings pressure and exposes problems that may previously have gone unnoticed. As some widows in the rapidly expanding early church were overlooked, the apostles responded with humility: listening to the complaint, sharing responsibility and appointing Spirit-filled, wise leaders from the affected community. Their example shows that healthy churches are not free from problems but address them well, valuing character over competence, releasing everyone to play their part and creating structures that serve God’s mission. The message invites us to consider where we may feel overlooked, where God is calling us to serve and what we might need to surrender to make room for what he wants to do next.

In this episode, Paul takes us into Acts 5, where the early church discovers that God’s Kingdom doesn’t slow down when pressure rises — it accelerates. Through signs and wonders, angelic rescue, bold preaching, and fierce opposition, we see ordinary believers stepping courageously into what God is already doing.

With a clear reminder that if it’s from God, you cannot stop it, Paul invites us to notice where the Kingdom is advancing today and to join in — even when obedience costs comfort, convenience, or reputation. Unstoppable is a call to courageous faith that keeps saying yes to Jesus, whatever the cost.

Ade looks at the early church in Acts 4–5, where unity, generosity, and integrity shaped a Spirit‑filled community — and where hidden deception threatened it from within. Through Barnabas’s genuine generosity and the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira, we’re invited to consider what it means to become a truly holy community shaped by participation, stewardship, and authenticity.

A gripping walk through Acts 4 — where a miracle at the temple gate collides with opposition, courage, and the unstoppable work of the Holy Spirit. This episode traces Peter and John from public healing to public arrest, revealing why faithfulness to Jesus often provokes resistance, how true boldness is Spirit‑given rather than personality‑driven, and why the early church’s first instinct under pressure was always prayer. A powerful reminder that the same Spirit who strengthened them strengthens us today.

A powerful reflection on Acts 3 — where Peter and John stop at the Beautiful Gate and restore dignity, hope, and wholeness to a man long forgotten. This episode explores compassion vs justice, the call to use our privilege for others, and what it means to truly see people as God sees them. A stirring invitation to become those who lift others up, carry God’s presence into everyday places, and join His work of renewal in our cities.

A warm, honest look at Acts 2:42–47 — where the early church discovers devotion, belonging, shared life, and the kind of community that gives real meaning. This episode explores why modern loneliness is so widespread, how Christian community speaks directly into that ache, and what it truly means to move from attending to belonging. With real stories, vulnerability, and practical insight, it’s an invitation to step into authentic relationships and rediscover the family Jesus saves us into.

This episode explores the day the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost — the moment God fulfilled ancient promises, moved His presence from a temple into His people, and empowered ordinary men and women to carry His mission. Acts 2 shows that the Spirit was always God’s plan, His presence is now personal, and His gift is for everyone.

As we begin a new teaching series through the Book of Acts, this episode explores how the church first came to life — and what that origin story means for us today. From discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, to Peter the failure, Thomas the doubter, and the fearful hiding behind locked doors, Jesus gathers ordinary, imperfect people and rekindles new hope, gives a new calling, and invites them into a new experience of the Holy Spirit.

This message challenges us not just to hear about God’s work but to show up and experience it — just like the 120 who waited in the upper room. The same Spirit who empowered the first believers still empowers ordinary people now.

A challenging and honest conclusion to the book of Jonah. This episode explores Jonah’s anger, God’s compassion, and the uncomfortable truth that we often love receiving mercy but resist seeing it given to others. Through Jonah’s story — and the greater story of Jesus — we’re invited to examine our own hearts, surrender our comfort, and embrace God’s expansive love for the world. A powerful reminder that transformation isn’t tidy, but God is gracious, compassionate, and always drawing us back.
