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. May the testimony of the book of Acts motivate us to devoted, fervent, passionate praying in 2017!

Tim Theule | Acts 14:21-23, Acts 16:23-26, Acts 20:17-19, Acts 20:36-38, Acts 21:4-6 | 01/15/2017 In this message, we continue our study of prayer in the book of Acts, a mini series within our larger Acts series. Having previously looked at HOW the Early Church prayed, here we explore WHEN the Early Church prayed.

Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through His Word and His grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with Him.

Tim Theule | Acts 1:14, Acts 2:42, Acts 4:31, Acts 6:3-4, Acts 13:1-3, Acts 12:5 | 01/01/2017 On this first Sunday of 2017, as we jump back into our series in Acts, we take a look at the priority of prayer in the early church as a jumpstart for our own praying individually and corporately.

Tim Theule | Matthew 5:14-16 | 12/18/2016 Jesus says to us His followers, 'You are the light of the world.' We are lit to shine for him in every place where he sends us. In this message we explore what that means.

Jeff Jennings | Ephesians 5:1-14 | 12/11/2016 What does it mean to walk in love, as children of light, as Christ loved us? In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul paints a contrast of light and darkness, true love and counterfeit love and calls us to self examine our behavior and speech in light of what is pleasing to the Lord.

Tim Theule | 2 Corinthians 4:1-12 | 12/04/2016 Christmas is described as the coming of Jesus, the light of the world. In 2 Corinthians 4 we discover that Jesus' person and work is called 'the light of the Gospel.' We also learn 3 useful realities about this 'light of the Gospel' which remind us that beneath the surface of what we see, there is a 'Light Struggle.'

This Advent we are exploring what it means for Jesus to be the Light that shined in the darkness and how His shining causes and compels us to shine as well. This morning we’ll look at Isaiah 60 where the Light was promised to shine.

Tim Theule | Acts 4:32-5:16 | 11/20/2016 The story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 is troubling to contemporary audiences. Why is it here and what are God's people in all ages intended to learn from it?

Tim Theule | Acts 4:18-31 | 11/13/2016 What is our response when opposition/suffering/resistance arises to our faith and the Gospel? In the second half of Acts 4, we see the surprising and unexpected way the Early Church responded to the first opposition to the Gospel.
