One of the most asked questions we get is related to the tension between parents and kids when it comes to engaging media and culture in today’s society. Brett Ullman is on the leading edge of teaching parents, leaders and teachers how they can effectively engage their faith with media and culture and teach kids how to as well.

In Acts 4, Peter and John get hauled before the religious leaders for healing a lame man in Jesus' name. Their boldness and understanding of scripture so astound them that they cannot deny the power of Jesus, even after death. So, do the people around us see that we are with Jesus?

What happens when the plans we have for our lives and the way we think things should happen don't align with what God is actually doing? Well, look at how the religious leaders in the Book of Acts react and you'll get a pretty good idea. This week, Pastor Josh shows how good desires can cause problems when we think they can only be fulfilled a certain way.

In Acts 3 we see Peter and John heal a man who was lame from birth. That's awesome... but what about the last 40 years of his life? Why didn't Jesus heal him when he had the chance? And make no mistake, there would have been plenty of chances. Watch as Pastor Josh walks us through the scene...

We have a big heart for missions – both home and abroad – at Kingsview and each year we take time to honor our missionaries, missions teams and share what the vision is moving forward.

In Acts chapter 2 something strange happens. After about 3,000 people repent and are baptised in the name of Christ – the very people who said to crucify him – everything is glorious. And then suddenly in verse 43, "fear came upon every soul". Many translations describe this as a sense of awe, but the Greek word, Phobos, literally means fear or dread. So why did this happen? Pastor Josh shows that, as it says in Proverbs 9:10, 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.' 

The Bible is no stranger to controversy. And for many Christians, Acts chapter 2 contains one of those moments where we see the Baptism of the Holy Spirit fall upon the Apostles. It's amazing, powerful and the results speak for themselves – 3,000 were added to the Kingdom of God that day. So the question remains: how do we each know if we've received this gift of power? That's where the controversy begins.

Christians, especially in charismatic churches, focus a lot of attention on the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2. And for good reason, since that's the day we were given the Holy Spirit. But how many Christians know that it wasn't the first Day of Pentecost? In fact, there had been generations of them going all the way back to Moses. Surprised? Listen as Pastor Josh lays it out for you.

When was the last time you just 'did life' with God? If Jesus died to restore relationship between us and the Father – which he did – then we shouldn't just be turning to God when we need or want something. Pastor Josh examines how too often we create a 'me-centric' version of the gospel, which isn't what it's all about.

In the Book of Acts it says that the apostles were instructed to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them in power. But in the Book of John it says Jesus "breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'" So which is it? Pastor Josh examines this and discovers a connection to the original 'breath of life' that Adam received from God.
