  • S13E13 The Persecuted Church (The Early Church, pt. 4)

    In this message, Pastor R. Bret Walker reflects on the reality of the persecuted church, drawing from Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts 7. Stephen, “full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw… Jesus standing at the right hand of God,” even forgiving his executioners as he died. The sermon highlights how persecution has historically strengthened the church, noting that “almost 400 million Christians worldwide face persecution or violence” today. Like Stephen, believers are called to stand faithfully for Christ, trusting that when we stand for Jesus, He stands for us, and continuing the mission despite opposition.

  • S13E12 The United Church (The Early Church, pt. 3)

    In this message, Pastor R. Bret Walker explores what made the early believers in Acts 2 a truly united church. They “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching… the fellowship… the breaking of bread and the prayers,” a pattern that shaped their shared life and mission. Their generosity, joy, worship, and mutual care led to “favor with all the people,” and as a result, “the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” The sermon challenges today’s church to reclaim this unity through teaching, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and praise.

  • S13E11 The Baptizing Church (The Early Church pt. 2)

    Guerrilla Christianity – “The Baptizing Church” Pastor R. Bret Walker explores Acts 2 and the early church’s explosive growth as a baptizing church. Peter’s call to “Repent and be baptized… for the forgiveness of your sins” becomes the heart of the message, showing baptism as a means of grace and a sign of God’s claim on his people. The sermon urges believers to embrace repentance, proclaim Christ boldly, and invite others into the life of faith. As Bret reminds us, the promise is “for you and for your children and for all who are far off,” and the mission continues today.

  • S13E10 The Witnessing Church (The Early Church pt. 1)

    Pastor R. Bret Walker launches a new series, The Early Church: Lessons from the Book of Acts, by exploring Acts 2 and the bold witness of Peter at Pentecost. This episode, The Witnessing Church, calls believers to embrace the same Spirit‑empowered mission: proclaiming what Christ has done, sharing personal testimony, and moving from merely welcoming to actively inviting others to faith. The early church grew through courageous witness — and we are called to do the same today.

  • S13E09 Risen with Christ (Letters from God pt. 8)

    On Easter Sunday, Pastor R. Bret Walker concludes the “Letters from God” series with Colossians 3:1–4, urging believers to live from the reality that they have been raised with Christ. Paul’s “if” is better understood as “since”—a call to seek what is above, not the fading pursuits of earth. The sermon contrasts temporary treasures with the eternal satisfaction found only in God, reminding us that our lives are “hidden with Christ” and secured by His resurrection. Because Christ is our life, we live with hope: He is risen, and He will return in glory.

  • S13E08 He Is Risen (Easter Sunrise Service)

    In this Easter Sunrise sermon on John 20:1–18, we stand with Mary, Peter, and John at the empty tomb and hear the risen Jesus speak Mary’s name. The resurrection is more than a temporary revival—it is Christ’s victory over sin and death and the promise of everlasting life. Because Jesus lives today, our faith is not in vain, and the grave will not have the final word. The risen Savior calls His people to worship with joy and to share the gospel boldly, since this good news is too important to keep to ourselves.

  • S13E07 We Believe (Letters from God, pt. 7)

    On Guerrilla Christianity, this episode features the sermon “We Believe” (Letters from God, Part 7) for Palm/Passion Sunday, centered on Philippians 2:5–11. The message traces Christ’s journey from eternal glory to willing humility: Jesus, fully God, “emptied himself,” took the form of a servant, and obeyed to the point of death on a cross. Paul’s hymn is explored as an early creed with a chiastic structure—descent into humiliation, then resurrection and exaltation—culminating in every knee bowing and every tongue confessing Jesus Christ as Lord.

  • S13E06 In the Spirit (Letters from God, pt. 6)

    In this Lenten message from Romans 8:6–11, Pastor R. Bret Walker draws a hard line between two ways of living: life in the flesh and life in the Spirit. Using Scripture, personal story, and unapologetic clarity, he argues there is no middle ground—only life or death. To live in the Spirit is to love God and neighbor, reject the idol of self, and receive the resurrecting power of Christ through the Holy Spirit. The gospel confronts us with a choice. Guerrilla Christianity chooses life.

  • S13E05 Children of Light (Letters from God, pt. 5)

    Children of Light calls believers to live visibly transformed lives in a world shaped by darkness. Drawing from Ephesians 5:8–14, this sermon explores how faith in Christ moves us from spiritual blindness into the revealing light of God. Walking in the light means discernment, fruitfulness, and accountability—not hiding sin, but exposing it so healing and renewal can begin. Through Paul’s teaching and John Wesley’s model of Christian accountability, we’re reminded that authentic discipleship is communal, courageous, and costly. Awakening from spiritual sleep, we live not for ourselves, but as people shaped—and sent—by Christ’s light. #ExposeTheDarkness

  • S13E04 Reconciliation (Letters from God, pt. 4)

    In this episode of Guerrilla Christianity, we confront the radical truth of reconciliation. Drawing from Romans 5:1–11, this sermon declares that peace with God isn’t earned—it’s given. While we were still sinners and enemies, Christ died for us, reconciling us to God through the cross. Suffering, faith, and hope are reframed in light of God’s relentless love. Like a tree covered in yellow ribbons, the cross stands as unmistakable proof: forgiveness is real, grace is abundant, and reconciliation is already accomplished in Jesus Christ.
