Andy Glover spoke this week on "Unstoppable – The Spirit’s Boldness in Us", looking at Acts 4:1-31.

Big Idea: When faced with opposition, the disciples pray for more boldness, not safety. Their mission is unstoppable.

Application: What bold steps is God calling us to take? How can we keep praying for Kingdom disruption?

Paul Stevens, who leads our partner Overflow Church, spoke this week on "Faith in Action – The Spirit’s Power to Heal and Restore", looking at Acts 3:1-10 (Healing the Beggar).

Big Idea: Peter and John embody mission by healing a man in Jesus' name, disrupting the religious expectations. Mission involves risk, faith, and action.

Application: Where are we staying comfortable instead of stepping out courageously? Who is waiting for us to bring the transformative power of Jesus?

Continuing the summer series "The Unstoppable Church", Sue Glover speaks on how the Holy Disruptor empowers us to be disruptors, shifts our expectations, and moves us from passive faith to active mission.

Text: Acts 2:1-4; 2:37-41; 4:23-31

Big Idea: The Holy Spirit disrupts fear, comfort, and control, transforming the disciples from waiting followers into bold witnesses. The ascension and replacement of Judas disrupt their expectations, but the real shift happens when the Spirit empowers them to become disruptors for the Kingdom. The Spirit fills, convicts, emboldens, and multiplies.

Application: How do we respond when God shifts our expectations and plans? Are we waiting passively or preparing actively for the Spirit to move? Are we willing to be disrupted so we can be sent?

The Holy Spirit empowers us to be disruptors—what structures, mindsets, or barriers is He calling us to challenge today?
