As we continue in Acts chapter 5, we see opposition rise, yet the apostles remain steadfast —choosing obedience to God over man and rejoicing even in suffering. This Sunday Pastor Tim invites us to evaluate the “hills we die on,” trust God when we don’t understand His ways, and depend fully on the Holy Spirit. A life rooted in Jesus leads to bold proclamation, enduring faith, and unshakable joy.

Acts 5 reminds us that God cares about both the unity of His church and the integrity of His people. As the early church grows in power and influence, we see that prayer, humility, and gospel clarity fuel real, lasting impact. This message calls us to live with honesty before God and others—being who we appear to be.

He is RISEN!!

This Sunday Pastor Tim centered on our hope in Jesus and through his resurrection, death is defeated and life is made available to ALL! The invitation is clear in God's Word: through repentance and faith in Jesus, anyone can experience new life and the promise of resurrection.

Peter and John face the Sanhedrin and the religious leaders and despite the threats and pressure, they didn't retreat. Instead they leaned into the Holy Spirit MORE which resulted in believers having confidence to live boldly, pray faithfully, and share the hope of a living Savior.

In Acts chapter 4 verses 1-22, Peter and John are brought before the religious leaders and not only are they "warned" and found faultless, they also pushed back! This is a reminder that when operating in the name of Jesus we have the same access to the Holy Spirit at those in the book of Acts.

Moving into Acts, chapter 3, Pastor Tim shows us how Peter, despite the miracle that occurred, never falters to remind those watching that Jesus is the ultimate miracle and that we all have access to Him when we surrender ourselves.

On our final Sunday in Acts chapter 2, Pastor Tim reminds us that both "sides" of Acts chapter 2 are needed to accomplish the church's mission -- outpouring and declaration AND living life together.

Our good friend and Grace Church Elder, Dan, takes some time to help us understand the historical, cultural, and relational setting of Acts, challenging us to see ourselves in the story!

Continuing in Acts Chapter Two, Pastor Tim takes a look at Peter's sermon and helps us to see how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit does not discriminate and is available all of God's children, here and now.

This week Pastor Tim continues in Acts chapter 2, highlighting the unity displayed at the beginning of the church as those in the upper room were filled with the Holy Spirit and how that unity is still a goal to this day.
