A miracle happens in Acts 3, but it isn’t the main event. The miracle points to the gospel, celebrates lives changed by the gospel, and opens the door for people to repent and believe. In this, Acts 3 shows a gospel demonstration followed by a gospel explanation that leads others to a gospel invitation, and through Peter and John we learn that faith in Jesus shines bright for Jesus!

Acts 3:1–10 shows that Jesus, after his death, resurrection, and ascension, continues to bring outsiders into the presence of God through the power of His name.

There are a lot of things we can be devoted to in this life, a thousand things we can give our time, energy and commitments to. In Acts 2 we see the very first Christians in history devoting themselves to 3 main things. They were continually: Devoted to Gods Word. Devoted to Gods people. Devoted to worshipping God. This created a community that put the love of Jesus on display for one another and the world around them.

Acts 2:14-41 gives us the first gospel message proclaimed by someone other than Jesus in the New Testament. It sets a pattern for what the gospel is, what it requires, and what it accomplishes in the lives of those who hear it. In short, the gospel is the message of redemption for our responsibility for sin, calling us to a response of remorse and repentance that leads to revival through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead! 

Pentecost is often remembered for the way that God’s people spoke in tongues but Pentecost isn’t about speaking in tongues. Instead, Acts 2:1‑13 shows us what happens when God gives His people His Spirit: His power fills them, His presence rests on them, and His people are gathered to proclaim His gospel for the glory of Jesus! 

Decision-making can feel daunting. God’s people once rolled the dice to know His will, but now His Spirit is available to guide the Christian’s every step. Because of Jesus, we are led, empowered, and sent—trusting God, following His Spirit, and joining Jesus in His mission.

The Books of Acts introduces us to Jesus’ disciples and their expectations about what they thought the resurrection accomplished. In their mind, they thought that Jesus rose to restore God’s Kingdom to the Jews. Jesus tells them that he rose to bring the invitation into God’s kingdom to the whole world instead. With that, we learn that the mission of Jesus is about witnesses, not winning, because Jesus Christ has already won! 

There is something inside everyone of us, that thinks we can make it through life without the mercy and grace of God. It is why sin is so rampant in our hearts and why prayer/praise are often not found in our mouths. What a gift of God’s grace to give us the gift of Faith, so that we would stop striving to find life in our own strength and gladly receive true life as a blood bought gift from God. Believing Jesus when He said, “It is finished”!

Grace is scary, grace is risky, and more often than not, grace feels like an abstract idea that just doesn’t seem to hit home. However, the message of the gospel is a good news announcement to unworthy sinners about how they can be made worthy through the work of another in their place. You think I’m a sinner? You don’t know the half of it. I’m way worse than you know but way more loved than I could ever imagine! Join us as we learn how Grace Alone changes the way I view myself, others, and importantly, the Lord who sent His Son to save me.

The secret to a satisfied life isn't found by asking "Who am I?" but by discovering "Whose I am"? We will explore how living in union with Christ, "in Christ alone" (Solus Christus) we find everything our hearts are searching for—not through self-improvement or secular promises, but through the radical union described in Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ... it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." Christ's life becomes our life, offering security, purpose, and joy beyond anything we could create ourselves.
