In this talk, Landon Lacy walks us through 1 Thessalonians 1 and asks a simple but searching question: how do you actually know when the gospel has taken root in a heart or a church? Not by feelings alone, not by hymns or exegesis alone, but by fruit — a faith that changes your behavior, a love that costs you something, and a hope stable enough to hold joy in the middle of hardship. Along the way, we see what it looks like when a whole community’s faith goes to work, and how a church’s reputation for love can open a city’s ears to the Gospel long before a single word is preached.

In Acts 19, Paul’s message about Jesus starts costing people cash, and the city of Ephesus erupts. A silversmith named Demetrius sees his business threatened and does what any of us can be tempted to do: he lets fear, lust, and pride drive his next move.

In this talk, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through the riot in Ephesus and asks the question underneath the chaos: what feelings are actually determining the flow of your finances? For the Ephesians who put their faith in Jesus, everything changed. They stopped trying to manipulate the gods for their own gain and started giving generously to people who could never pay them back. Their faith didn't just shift what they believed. It shifted where their money went.

What is the greatest threat to our spiritual vibrancy? In this message, Pastor Ben Stuart teaches through Acts 19 and reminds us that following Jesus is more than knowing the right things or doing the right things. It is about loving Him with our whole hearts. When unconfessed sin and lesser loves begin to accumulate, they slowly choke out our intimacy with God and diminish the fullness of life He desires for us.

When we see Jesus for who He truly is, the things we once feared losing begin to grow strangely dim. Join us as we study Acts 19 and discover what it looks like to return to our first love, remove the rivals, and follow Jesus with an undivided heart.

What if the greatest impact of your life is actually built out of the smallest, everyday decisions? In this talk, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through Acts 18, where we meet Priscilla and Aquila, a married couple whose quiet, everyday yeses end up shaping the future of the Church. We learn what a godly marriage really looks like: not just a picture of Christ and the church, but a pursuit of Christ and the church together. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, we see that there's a greater purpose for your life too.

What do you say to someone who’s smart, skeptical, and thinks Christianity is beneath them intellectually? In this talk, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through Acts 17, where Paul stands before the philosophers of Athens and makes his case for God in the middle of a city full of idols. Whether you’re intellectually curious, spiritually skeptical, or just tired of groping in the dark for answers, this message is for you.
