"In the Spiritual Realm It’s All About Who You Know"

In Ephesus, Paul’s ministry shows us a powerful truth: in the spiritual realm, authority doesn’t come from rituals or titles — it comes from knowing Jesus. From miraculous healings to the wild story of the seven sons of Sceva, Acts 19 reminds us that real power and real freedom are found only in a relationship with Christ. When you know Him, you walk in His authority — and even the enemy knows your name.

📖 Scripture: Acts 19

⚡ Theme: Authority, Relationship with Jesus, Spiritual Warfare

🙌 Key Line: You don’t just need to know His name — you need to know Him.

What Happened to Sosthenes?

Erich Schultz

What do you do when people choose to make you their enemy? In Acts 18, Paul faces hostility in Corinth, yet God meets him in his fear and gives him peace, protection, and unexpected allies. And then there’s Sosthenes — once Paul’s accuser, later greeted as a brother in Christ. This message reminds us that people are never the enemy, and God’s love can transform even those who stand against us.

📖 Scripture: Acts 18

❤️ Theme: Forgiveness, Love, Transformation

🙌 Key Line: Because He first loved us — we can love everyone, even our enemies.

The Greatest Speech In Greek History

Jonathan Fletcher

Paul’s address on Mars Hill is legendary — but it also taught him a life-changing lesson. In Acts 17, we see Paul deliver a flawless, culturally brilliant speech to the Athenians… yet walk away with only “some” believing. This message challenges us to see that spiritual battles aren’t won by arguments alone, but by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit — and by standing together in faith.

📖 Scripture: Acts 17

⚔️ Theme: Power of the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Warfare, Unity

🙌 Key Line: You don’t win spiritual battles with arguments — you win them with God’s power.

"Why didn't he speak up"

Jonathan Fletcher

Sometimes the most powerful thing a leader can do is stay silent… for the sake of someone else. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas endure a brutal beating without invoking their Roman citizenship — not because they couldn’t, but because they were protecting the young disciple Timothy. This message challenges us to listen for God’s “no,” obey His “go,” stand against injustice, and be willing to sacrifice for the sake of those we lead.

📖 Scripture: Acts 16

🛡 Theme: Leadership, Sacrifice, Obedience

🙌 Key Line: Real leadership lays down its rights for the good of others.

It Seemed Good to the Holy Spirit and to Us
Jonathan Fletcher

Big decisions aren’t easy — but they’re not meant to be made alone. In Acts 15, the early Church faces a major crossroads and models a Spirit-led, Scripture-based, unified approach to decision-making. This message unpacks how we can align with God’s wisdom and walk in unity with others when the stakes are high.

📖 Scripture: Acts 15

🧭 Theme: Guidance, Unity, Holy Spirit

🙌 Key Line: The best decisions are the ones made with the Holy Spirit.

"You can't please everyone - please Jesus"

Jonathan Fletcher

Crowds can cheer for you one moment and stone you the next. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas face miracles, misunderstandings, and fierce opposition — yet they refuse to quit. This message challenges us to stop chasing the approval of people and start living fully for Jesus. When we stand on the Gospel, even the hardest battles can’t stop God’s mission.

📖 Scripture: Acts 14

🔥 Theme: Perseverance, Faithfulness, Courage

"The Holy Spirit Said..."

Jonathan Fletcher

What if your next step came straight from the voice of God? In Acts 13, we see the Church at Antioch launch the very first missionary journey — not through strategy, but through surrender. As the believers worshiped, fasted, and prayed, the Holy Spirit spoke, and everything changed. This message dives into the overlooked foundations of that moment: character over charisma, Spirit-led leadership, and a Church willing to go where God says go.

🌍 Scripture: Acts 13

🔥 Theme: Calling, Character, Spirit-Led Living

"Even When It Doesn't Always Go Your Way, Pray"

Erich Schultz

Life doesn’t always follow a fairy tale formula — and neither does faith. In this message from Acts 12, we explore how the early Church faced real suffering, loss, and uncertainty… but still chose to pray. From James’ martyrdom to Peter’s miraculous escape, we’re reminded that God is always working — even when it doesn’t look like it. Prayer isn’t about perfect faith, it’s about persistent presence.

🛐 Scripture: Acts 12

🎯 Theme: Suffering, Joy, Prayer

🙌 Key Line: Even when it doesn’t go your way — keep praying.

Humility is Essential

Jonathan Fletcher

Humility isn’t just a virtue — it’s a vital key to growth, unity, and spiritual power in the Church. In Acts 11, we see how humility allows for healthy conflict, fuels teamwork, and unlocks radical generosity. From Peter’s explanation of Gentile inclusion to the rise of the church in Antioch, this message reveals how the early believers laid down pride to build something greater. If we want to see multiplication, we must first walk in humility.

📖 Scripture: Acts 11
💡 Theme: Humility, Unity, Spiritual Maturity
🙌 Key Line: The Church grows when humility leads the way.

God Invited Them Too…?

Jonathan Fletcher

What do you do when God invites them to the party too? In Acts 10, Peter discovers that the Gospel isn’t just for the familiar — it’s for everyone. Through a divine encounter with Cornelius, a Roman centurion, God shatters cultural boundaries and personal prejudice to reveal the radical inclusivity of His grace. This message will challenge you to see people the way God sees them — and to open your heart, home, and life to those you never expected.

🌍 Scripture: Acts 10

💬 Theme: Grace, Inclusion, Transformation

🙌 Key Line: God’s invitation is bigger than your comfort zone.
