Gathering House

What if the church was never meant to be a place, but a movement? In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor Aj closes out our journey through Acts by asking a bold question—are we truly being the church God restored, or are we just gathering in comfort? The early church was a movement of boldness, unity, and radical love for the marginalized, the orphan, the foreigner, and the widow. That same calling is on us today! This isn’t just another sermon—it’s an invitation to step into the mission of Acts and live out the restoration God is bringing to His church. Don’t miss this—your role in God’s unfolding story starts now!

We love to celebrate Paul, the apostle, the world-changer. But have you ever stopped to think about how people saw him before his calling? A murderer. A persecutor. The least likely candidate for God’s work. And yet, God chose him. If Paul—Saul, the enemy of the church—could be transformed, then who are we to decide who’s worthy of God’s call today? What if the very people we doubt are the ones God is calling next? In this powerful message, Pastor Aj challenges us to rethink how we see those around us—and maybe even how we see ourselves. Don’t miss this one. It just might change everything.

Tune in as we celebrated our very first Baptism Sunday during our worship service, and it was nothing short of amazing. Eight people took the bold step of baptism, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus—it was a powerful and joyful moment for our church family!

Have you ever felt like an outsider—like you just don’t belong? In this powerful message, Pastor AJ takes us through Acts, showing how the early church didn’t just welcome the broken and the rejected—they ran toward them with the love of Jesus. The Kingdom is for everyone, and that means we have a role to play in making it known. If you’re ready to be challenged, inspired, and moved to action, don’t miss this one. The world is waiting—the Kingdom is moving—are you in?

What if the book of Acts isn’t just a history lesson but a call to action? In this sermon, Pastor AJ takes us on a journey through the early church’s transformation—how a group of fearful, hiding disciples became bold, unstoppable Kingdom-bringers. This isn’t just about Pentecost; it’s about what happens next—how they stepped into their calling, how they lived out the reality of the Kingdom, and how we’re called to do the same. If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting on something before stepping into what God has for you, this message will challenge you to stop waiting and start walking. The same Spirit that moved then is moving now—are you ready to take up the call?

What if Pentecost isn’t just a moment in history, but a movement that’s still unfolding today? In this powerful message, Pastor AJ dives into Acts 2, unpacking how God is restoring His church—not just through miracles and worship, but by calling us back to the mission of Jesus. This is about more than revival; it’s about radical generosity, tearing down walls, and making room for the outcast, the forgotten, and the ones the world says aren’t worthy. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to be a people of the Spirit, this message will challenge and inspire you. Lean in—God is moving, and you’re invited to be part of it.

What if the church today is missing something crucial? Pastor Aj dives deep into Acts 2, unpacking the powerful connection between Pentecost, Shavuot, and the Tower of Babel. God is in the business of restoring His people, but have we truly united around Him? This isn't just history—it’s a call to action. Are we building for His glory or our own? If you’re ready to challenge how you see the church and your role in it, this is a must-listen. Let’s step into the restoration God has for us—together.
