In this section of Acts, 10:1–11:18, we'll see God move through two men, Peter and Cornelius, and learn a few things from each as we're on our spiritual walk with Him.

Rob and Matt work together this week as we open Scripture to zoom in on what it means to be a disciple and what becoming a disciple looks like for us today.

Opening up to Acts 9:1-31, Saul moves from persecuting Christians to speaking boldly about Jesus, the Son of God. We will see here that no one is too bad or too broken to be reconciled to God.

In Acts 8 we see Philip the evangelist listening to God's call and following it, even if it meant getting out of his comfort zone. We'll walk through the Scripture and learn from Philip how we too can help others find and follow Jesus.

This week, we're picking up in Acts 6:8-8:3 and looking at the story of Stephen, one of the first Tablesetters of the Church and the first martyr of the Jesus movement. This passage is not only one of the most profound events in the Book of Acts, but it is also a pivot point for the rest of the Book of Acts. As we look at this narrative, we will learn from what Stephen has to say as he is put on trial for his allegiance to Jesus and we will see what motived Stephen to so faithfully follow, even in the midst of persecution.

We're back in our Pivot series with Acts 6:1-7. We'll see here, that the church's growth had happened so rapidly that others were needed to help the Apostles carry out the mission. This is the section of Scripture where we get the word we use a lot around NMC, Tablesetters.

Student Pastor, Matt Johnston, continues on in our Pivot series looking at Acts 5:33-42, one of the most iconic and ironic passages in the Book of Acts. And, as we look at this text, we will be encouraged to see God's plan unfold both then, continuing today, and moving into the future.

In Acts 5:29 Peter and the apostles reply "We must obey God rather than human beings!" Rob uses this verse as a starting point to see what the Word says on Who is really in control, who we are, and why we are here.

So far, almost all of what we've looked at in this series has been uplifting and encouraging. This week, well, the tone takes a different direction as we see members of the early church hiding and lying to God for the sake of their own praise.

This week we explore the first recorded prayer of the church in Acts. As we take a look at what they prayed for, we will be encouraged to see how their prayer has impacted us today and we will be challenged to think about pivoting our own prayers.
