When God’s plan looks different than we expected, it can feel confusing or even disruptive.

This message calls us to remember the joy of the gospel and to share that good news wherever God has placed us.

Acts 3 tells the story of a man healed in the name of Jesus, showing the power, purpose, and presence of Christ still at work in the world.

In Acts 2, the church is born and thousands are added in a single day. It paints a picture of believers who gathered faithfully, prayed constantly, and lived with glad and sincere hearts.

What does it mean to be a Spirit empowered witness for Jesus? Acts 1 shows us that the mission of the church is built on the resurrection of Jesus and sustained by the empowering presence of the Spirit.
