What distinguishes consistently happier people from less happy people is the presence of deep, rich, meaningful relationships with other people. Relationships where people are invested in one another and their well-being.

Not surprisingly, the call to discipleship is a call to relationships. Discipleship is at its best when it is lived out in the context of relationships. Join us this weekend as we take a look at how the early believers of Acts invested spiritually and relationally in one another. We’ll also see what becomes possible when people in a church are spiritually and relationally investing in one another.

Have you ever watched a movie, or even worse, binged 12 seasons of a tv show one night only to be left with a bad ending?

After making our way through the Book of Acts the past five months we're left with what could be deemed a bad ending. This Sunday we’re looking at the final chapter of the book of Acts and how its abrupt ending is significant to us today.

Storms are powerful...volatile...unpredictable...and unavoidable. No wonder the worst that the weather has to offer became a way to describe the toughest parts of our lives. But what if there's more to enduring storms than simply asking "Why?" What if God wants to redeem our storms & use them for good? Join us Sunday as we explore how Paul endured a horrible storm & what his example teaches us about how we should respond to storms in our own lives.

When you think of chains, all sorts of images come to mind. A gold beauty hanging in the exposed chest hair of a disco king. A set of links propelling a bicycle down the road. Maybe a heavy weight attached to an ankle, keeping someone in place against their will. Possibly you remember Pastor Brad and his chains from Easter a couple of years ago. All sorts of chains.

This week we will look at the importance of those links, and what makes our part of the chain a link well lived. Paul worked this out, and we have to as well.

We Christians have an amazing source of comfort and strength that we are meant to live out of every single day. It’s meant to give us hope and strength in every moment of our lives, no matter how hard or difficult the situation. Our hope is in the gospel.

Join us this weekend as we discover the hope of the gospel in, of all things, a riot and a beating! You weren’t meant to simply get by. You were meant for more. You were meant to live out of the gospel.

This week we are reading Acts 20. A kid dies of boredom. Paul runs for home at breakneck speed. People who hear God's voice are ignored. And that's just the first few verses. Come spend some time with us this Sunday as we gaze long and hard uphill at the trail God is laying out before us. We'll discuss what it takes to climb it, and what is waiting at the crest of the mountain.

You'd think that living out a dream 6 years in the making would make a person excited to wake up every day. I finally had the chance to go to grad school and get the degree that I'd been wanting to pursue for so long. Suddenly the seminary degree that was supposed to be equipping me to walk with others toward Jesus was distracting me from life's most important things. Eventually, I admitted to my wife a truth of which I wasn't proud: I'd never surrendered my seminary studies to Jesus. I'd allowed a very good thing to become an idol that controlled me. Join us as we consider what it looks like to smash our idols & faithfully run toward Jesus each day.

Join us Sunday as we unpack what it’s like to live out our faith publicly like Paul in a place that’s trying to understand a God that is unknown to them.

For the last few months we’ve been making our way through the book of Acts. Week by week we’ve seen the Gospel spread across the globe like wildfire. This Sunday we’re going to look at a story of how Jesus used some pretty uncomfortable situations to transform the city of Philippi.

As we continue our series in Acts we’re going to follow along with Paul and Luke as they run into two unique characters that are so opposite we are sure to relate to one or the other. Lydia is a wealthy business owner that was still unsatisfied with life despite her financial success. The slave girl is a poor, tormented person that is held in bondage by both her owners and evil spirits. What do we find at the end of these stories? God uses Paul and Luke in these two character’s lives to save people, plant a church, and show us a very low-pressure way of sharing the good news of Jesus.
