In Acts 13, we see what a Spirit-full life looks like: setting healthy habits, living set apart, stepping out with humility and boldness, studying God’s Word, and seeking Jesus continually. If you’re already feeling low on energy or discouraged by resolutions, this message is an invitation to ditch self-reliance and tap into the well that never runs dry—the love of God made available through the Holy Spirit.

As we close out the year, we’re reminded that Christmas didn’t end on December 25. The greatest gift Jesus brings is love—a courageous, sacrificial commitment marked by grace and truth. In a world filled with darkness and brokenness, God stepped into our story so we could experience real love and share it with others. As you head into the new year, which gift do you need most: hope, joy, peace, or love?

Could you use more peace this Christmas season? In this episode, we talk about the kind of peace the world can’t offer — peace found in God’s presence, made possible because Jesus came to earth as a baby. A peace that transcends understanding and invites us to trust, follow, and believe again.

In this message, Dr. Carl Follingstad explores the deep and lasting joy found in salvation. From the humble arrival of Jesus in Luke 2 to the victorious triumph of Christ in Colossians, this teaching traces God’s redemptive plan and reminds us that true joy is rooted not in circumstances, but in who Jesus is and what He has done.

This message explores how gratitude and generosity combat hopelessness, how humility creates space for God to work, and how true rest is found in who He says you are—not in what you can control.

This Advent season, we’re celebrating the light of Jesus entering the world in the darkest time of the year. In this episode, we look to Acts 12 and discover how God’s light continues to break into our lives when things feel overwhelming, uncertain, or misunderstood.

This week’s message explored what it means to be moved by the grace of the living God. Grace is a free gift that invites believers out of comfort and into growth, purpose, and mission. The teaching focused on how spiritual formation often happens in discomfort—when faith requires stepping into places that feel unfamiliar or stretching. Grace fuels a life rooted in Scripture, anchored in Jesus, and shaped by what God has already done.

This message traces the unexpected origins of Harvard and Yale, showing how their early mission reminds us that true spiritual renewal doesn’t come from educated leaders alone but from the empowered body of believers. Walking through Acts 11, Pastor Jose highlights Peter’s honest, humble report of what God did in Cornelius’ home and encourages us to share God’s work in our own lives, expect both curiosity and criticism, and celebrate the gospel at work in our community. You’ll also hear why Cypress Creek Church is participating in Harvard and Baylor’s Human Flourishing Study and how this survey can help us reflect on our spiritual growth.

Stepping from private faith to public can feel intimidating. When we spend quiet time with Him, obey quickly, and drop our assumptions, boldness rises. When we step out in faith publicly and proclaim Jesus boldly, the kingdom of God expands.

Life before Jesus looked different for everyone. Each of us has a “Saul” God may be calling us to reach. Extraordinary encounters happen when you remember your story and take a step of faith. The next step is yours to take.
