In Acts 8, an angel tells Philip to go to a deserted city on a seldom travelled road. This strange command leads to an encounter with an Ethiopian eunuch who desperately needs to hear some good news. The story ends with the eunuch continuing on his way rejoicing. After we explore this story on Sunday, I hope you leave rejoicing too.

In Acts 7, Stephen preaches a sermon that gets him stoned. This week Wade will explain why Stephen's sermon made his audience so angry, while trying to avoid the same fate as Stephen. Should be fun, but please leave your rocks at home.

Near the end of Acts 4, Luke describes a church of which I'm sure we'd all like to be a part. But I wonder how many of us would like to belong to the church he describes in Acts 5:1-11? This week we'll approach the story of Ananias and Sapphira with emotional and intellectual honesty and perhaps discover why it may be the most relevant story for us in Acts.

In Acts 4, we see the followers of Jesus responding to challenges in powerful ways. What is it that enabled them to experience such an amazing life of faith and how do we allow God to work among us in similar ways today?

In the economy of Jesus, followers of Christ invest money and possessions in the community as a demonstration of God's love for all creation. A people with met needs point the world to a God whose love exceeds.

In Acts 3, Peter miraculously heals a man who had been lame for over forty years. When reading stories like this, it's tempting to fixate on the miracle, which can cause us to miss the larger point of story. This week we’ll see how this story about a miracle points us to something much bigger.

Every hero (and villain) has an origin story. So does every church. This week we’ll dig into the early church’s origin story, which, as it turns out, is not all that different from ours.

We Christians love to read, talk, and sing, about Jesus' birth, life, death, resurrection, and eventual return. But his ascension is often overlooked. This Sunday we'll focus on questions like: What happened when Jesus ascended? What does the ascension mean? What practical difference does make it in our lives?

Join us this Sunday for a new series from the book of Acts. We’ll be digging into some familiar stories that still have the ability to surprise. You can prepare for the first message by reading through Acts and noting the many different obstacles the gospel overcomes on the way from Jerusalem to Rome and beyond.

We are created for community. We can’t survive or flourish without it. Yet so often it proves to be elusive. This Sunday we’ll highlight some specific ways we are combatting isolation at Greenville Oaks.
