In Acts 2, the Bible records how the reign of the Spirit in the lives of the people led to some practices that brought growth to all.

Join Pastor Joe as he explains how the passage provides us with the four commitments of a Spirit-filled church. Listen to learn how to devote yourself to the Lord in a way that will bring spiritual growth and maturity.

Believers do not have to give in or give up in times of suffering and trial. Pastor Joe points out that we know that God is at work, even when he withdraws what we see as the good of our outward prosperity.

Our spiritual lives can flourish powerfully! The work God gives us to do in the place he plants us will prosper as we faithfully turn from sin, delight in God’s Word, and meditate on the Word.

However, there is a stark contrast as the Psalmist compares the flourishing of the godly to the wasteland of the wicked.

Pastor Joe explains and illustrates practical ways to see the difference and to go on the right path.

The supernatural occurrences on Pentecost requires some explanations, and Peter’s sermon does not disappoint.

Peter explained what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. Join Pastor Joe as he shares his sermon about a sermon that inaugurated an exciting experience in the early church.

Paul contrasts this rising hope with the inescapable reality of the pain of human existence and declares that our pain is not worthy to be compared with the coming glory. 

Listen to Pastor Joe share how our present sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory. 

The psalmist paints a picture of the green and growing blessings of the righteous. As we picture this together, there are five specific blessings in this picture.

Listen as Pastor Joe explores these 5 blessings and makes insightful applications from the Scriptures.

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul explains four gifts given by the Holy Spirit.

In doing so, he he addressed the dynamic role of the Holy Spirit in our liberation giving us a new mind-set (of life and peace) and a new sense of life (to experience Christ-likeness).

Pastor Joe explores the text and its applications for two of the four gifts provided by the Spirit to every believer.

If you expect something exciting to happen at church then you need to know what to expect when you’re expecting the Holy Spirit to fill us like He filled the early church.

As Pastor Joe continues in his sermon series on the Book of Acts, he explains that the attitude that makes way for the fullness of the Holy Spirit is the same attitude seen in Christ’s followers just before the Holy Spirit was given on the Day of Pentecost.

Listen in to discover what to expect when you're expecting God to do a great work!

God wants to use his people, sent under his authority, to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Join Pastor Joe as he kicks off his new sermon series on the book of Acts. He explains that the study of Acts is particularly important to us because it teaches us how to experience a stimulating, exciting life—how to make our lives count. 

Every Christian struggles to please God and abstain from fulfilling his or her lusts.

We want to do good, but we end up doing the very thing we did not want to do. 

Pastor Joe explains how our understand of the Holy Spirit's work will enable us to live more and more in “the glorious liberty of the children of God” (v. 21) so that the difficulties of sin will become less and less our experience.
