Ben Collings | Acts 8:1-8 | 3/19/2017 As Stephen's life comes to a close and Saul's persecution of Jesus's followers shifts into high gear, we wonder, 'What will happen to the Church?' In Acts 8 we find a surprising answer; the Church isn't snuffed out, instead it is sent out to transform and bring joy to Judea and Samaria through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Tim Theule | Acts 6:12-7:58 | 3/12/2017 In this message we look at the sermon of Stephen, the longest message recorded for us in the book of Acts. Stephen's sermon is an answer to the accusation that he been speaking words against the temple and the law.

Tim Theule | Acts 6:8-7:1, 7:54-8:4 | 3/5/2017 Here we meet Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian church. He's a disciple of Jesus who gives himself for the mission of Jesus. What was he like and how was he used by God in life and death? We explore these questions in this next message of our Multiply! study of the book of Acts.

Tim Theule | Acts 6:1-7 | 2/26/2017 Are you a 'church idealist'? A 'church pessimist'? Or a 'church realist'? Acts 6:1-7 reminds us that the church has been flawed, broken and imperfect from the very beginning. Here we discover realities that are true of early church, our church and every local church as we continue our 'Multiply!' study of the book of Acts.

Tim Theule | Acts 5:12-42 | 02/19/2017 As we continue our 'Multiply' study of the book of Acts, we see in Acts 5:12-17 a great reminder of what the Gospel is, which also informs why we should share it.

Tim Theule | Acts 5:12-21a | 2/5/2017 Signs and wonders are all over the book of Acts. What are we to make of these phenomena? How are we to understand signs and wonders. As we continue our 'Multiply' study of the book of Acts, we look 'head on' at this intriguing issue.

Tim Theule | 1/29/2017 On this baptism Sunday, we recognize together that when we baptize followers of Jesus, we are celebrating a 'visual Gospel' that is a practice rooted in the command of Jesus from the very earliest days of church. Baptism is all over the book of Acts because this is what the followers of Jesus do!

Tim Theule | Acts 10:1-22 | 1/22/2017 The last in our mini series on prayer throughout the book of Acts, this message looks at the many ways God speaks, shows up and acts in response to the prayers of His people.
