In the beginning of Acts 2, we see the miracle of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Tongues of fire come down from heaven and believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the kingdom of God in multiple languages they had not previously known. In the midst of this, Peter shares the testimony of Jesus Christ; He was the chosen son of God and was delivered up to be crucified, but resurrected from the dead because death could not hold Him. Through this proclamation thousands come to faith in Jesus and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This same opportunity to repent, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit is offered to all of us today as well.

This week we continue our series over God's redemption. Throughout this series we will have interviews with guests sharing their stories of God's redemption in their lives. Often times what we see on the outside is really a product of what's happening on the inside. God's desire is not just to change our external behavior, but to redeem the internal issues of our heart. Our guest this week shares his story of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, getting kicked out of his house at 15, and starting to abuse alcohol himself. Ultimately, getting kicked out of his home led Kent to getting a job in which he would find shelter and relationship with Jesus. Finding a relationship in Jesus started a life long redemption process in Kent. Through God's redemption in his life, Kent has since gone on to lead numerous other individuals to healthy relationships with God and other people. He is now the Campus Support Connections Director for Grace Church in Overland Park, KS. 

In the first part of Acts we see a very simple formula for the spread of the gospel among the early disciples. Jesus after his resurrection presents Himself to the disciples and shares about the kingdom of God. He ends his teaching by encouraging them in verse eight to take this message to the end of the earth. This formula is still available to us today. Through reading scripture, prayer, and listening to the Holy Spirit we are taught the kingdom of God. We are then challenged to take that teach to the end of the earth. How are you being taught the kingdom of God? Who are you sharing it with?

Through this struggle God met Tim with redemption of the pride in his heart and need for salvation.  

Last Sunday we had the opportunity to serve with Refuge KC. Check out the recap! For more information on this ministry, please visit refugekc.org. 

In this episode we discuss a theology of Sabbath as well as how we put our beliefs into practice. Throughout the Old and New Testaments we can find evidence for taking a Sabbath rest, yet it's often viewed as something that doesn't apply to us. Each week taking time Sabbath presents us an opportunity to humble ourselves under God's protection and provision while we rest in His presence. The Sabbath is about stopping and delighting. Stop your work and worry. Delight in the goodness of God and His creation. 

This week we continue our series on mental health titled Abide. In this sermon we specifically address rest. We exist in a busy culture centered on hustle. So often we don't just feel busy, but we need to be busy. In Matthew 11 though Jesus invites us to rest in him. Rest can be just as much of a spiritual practice as reading your Bible or praying. Join host Jake Ikerd as he shares his thoughts on this subject as well as the way he implements this practice with his own family.
