Jesus’ message has never been tame. It’s controversial – claiming that people can’t save themselves; that we aren’t in control of our destinies. It shakes up commonly held beliefs and derails pride. But Pastor John points out today that this message of hope and love and grace isn’t meant to turn the world upside down – it turns it right side up! Jesus makes all things BETTER! While it’s true that we can’t do anything on our own, it’s equally true that we have a Savior who can, and already DID!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 17 as he begins his message Responding to God's Word.

We all must endure painful and confusing life situations. You may be experiencing one now! It’s likely that at some point, you’ve wondered if God sees and if He’s really in control. Today, Pastor John will reassure you – God sees you in those hard places! He knows what you’re there for, and He sees the testimony you can have by enduring faithfully! You can take a page out of Paul and Silas’ book today – sing praises to your loving Heavenly Father, despite your situation!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 16 as he begins his message What Must I do to be Saved?

Sometimes, it’s ok not to have all the answers. It’s fine if you don’t know where the road is taking you. Pastor John will be sharing in today’s message that this is something that’s happened before – in Paul’s life, specifically! The Apostle Paul had plans, upright and God-honoring plans, but God closed doors in front of him. That would leave anyone scratching their head and wondering what God is doing! If that’s you today, trust God anyway! He knows what He’s doing –follow His lead!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 16 as he continues his message How God Guides.

Today’s message may contain something shocking for you – the Spiritual giants of the Bible were just like you! People you read about – like Paul, Barnabas, and Peter – are just as human and prone to mistakes as you are. They’ve sinned, and they needed Jesus to save them as well! Pastor John hopes this news is encouraging to you, and that it helps you see that God can use anyone! He knows your faults already, but He’s still got a plan for your life. Let Him use you, no matter the state you’re in!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 15 as he begins his message How God Guides.

A new life in Christ is a transformed life. It isn’t saying a prayer and reverting to the same way of doing things. You are made new – completely new – in Jesus! Today Pastor John will explain that a life given to Jesus is supposed to look different to the world around you. It shouldn’t include activities that are dishonoring of God, and it can’t focus on practices that are immoral and un-Biblical. As you grow in your relationship with the Lord, allow Him to change, not just your heart, but your whole existence!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 15 as he continues his message Grace On Trial.

Many people believe that if they keep the law and do good deeds, they’ll be in Heaven when they die. Even some of the Jews in the early church believed this! They thought that being Jewish and keeping the traditions alive was enough! However, Pastor John shares a wake-up call today – you can’t do enough to be saved. No one can! We’re all sinful, and so we’re all separated from God. The only way to fix this is to accept that Jesus IS enough! He paid the price for your sins, and He’s offering you mercy and forgiveness!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 15 as he begins his message Grace On Trial.

God reveals Himself everywhere. You can look outside your window and see Creation singing His praises! Miracles still happen in the world, and love and kindness point to a Savior. Pastor John will share in today’s message that even people who claim not to believe in God can’t ignore that there are unexplainable aspects to the world. They try to justify it in other ways, but one day they’ll have to admit He exists. For now, keep telling the truth and pointing them to your God, your Creator!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 14 as he continues his message The Church’s Mission.

Miracles didn’t cease when Jesus left the earth. In today’s message, you’ll get to witness miracles performed by Paul and Barnabas. These miracles accompanied the message of hope that we find in Jesus – the ultimate healer! Pastor John will remind you that your Savior came to renew your life and wipe away your sins. Jesus can heal your past, and he’s your comfort in all things right here, right now! Turn to Jesus every day for all you need – He is faithful to provide!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 14 as he begins his message, The Church’s Mission.

Your life could seem hopeless. You could be in a situation that has an impossible fix. Today, Pastor John has some incredible encouragement for you – two words, BUT GOD. God can do the impossible. God is hope in the hopelessness. God is the worker of miracles, and you can see evidence of it throughout Scripture – even throughout the world. Jesus died – but God had bigger plans. Let these two words fill you with joy today and change your mindset for approaching your circumstances!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 13 as he continues his message, Paul Preaches Jesus.

Sometimes the Lord sets an opportunity to share the Gospel right in front of you. He opens that door up wide and asks you to walk through. If He were to do that right now, right where you are, would you take the chance? In today’s message, Pastor John will share how it’s natural to be caught by surprise, but that it’s the job of the Christian to share anyway! It can be intimidating, and you’ll likely worry about what the other person will say, but don’t let that stop you! Say a quick prayer and dive on in!
