Sunday Messages

Anxiety often stems from the belief that there isn't enough to go around. This "scarcity" mindset keeps our hearts small and stressed. To go beyond this fear, we must realize that we aren't "owners" of our lives, but "conduits"—shifting from a clenched fist to an open hand of generosity.

Personal (and church!) growth stalls when we live for ourselves. To go beyond self, we must undergo a total mental recalibration—shifting from being a "consumer" of life to a "living sacrifice" for God and others.

Personal comfort acts as an invisible barrier to our spiritual breakthrough, effectively becoming an idol that limits our growth. To move beyond this and unlock radical freedom, we must trade our passive pursuit of ease for the active, unshakeable courage found in Christ—who empowers us to do all things.

We often hit a limit in our spiritual lives because we rely on our own finite resources. To go beyond our natural limits, we must shift from self-sufficiency to a posture of expectancy and deep dependence on God’s infinite resources and power.

We close our wild and wonderful journey through the Book of Acts with Paul’s arrival in Rome, where he continues to boldly teach about Jesus. Nothing or No one could stop him.

Join Pastor Ryan Alexander for today's message!

Fall is the time to come back to our core mission and purpose, as individuals and as a church. In this passage, Paul is forced to articulate his life mission, message, and his motivation for it all.

A prophet graphically foretells that Paul’s ministry career will end with arrests and accusations, yet he seizes every opportunity to share his story, and the good news about Jesus with countless leaders and crowds.

As Paul says goodbye to believers in Ephesus, he reflects on this ministry career, and leaves the next generation of leaders with encouragement to guard and protect God’s flock.

Paul stayed in Ephesus longer than anywhere else, and his message triggered a massive, culturally disruptive spiritual awakening in a city deeply saturated with superstition, sorcery, and witchcraft.
