Jesus calls us to be his witnesses through the power of the Holy Spirit, even when it seems impossible. In “Don’t Underestimate God,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares how Jesus transformed Saul from a persecutor to a gospel messenger. Ananias, an ordinary believer, played a key role, showing that God uses unlikely people. We should never underestimate God’s work in others, His purpose for us, or His power to transform lives.

In "Join the Family," Pastor Dave Gustavsen highlights the early Christian church as a family devoted to discipleship, evangelism, fellowship, worship, and ministry.

The Holy Spirit, described as wind, wine, and fire, empowers believers to accomplish what they never could on their own. In "Rely on His Power," Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores the events of Pentecost, when the Spirit filled the early church, enabling them to speak different languages and share boldly about Jesus. Peter explained this as God's promise through the risen Christ and called people to repent, be baptized, and receive the Spirit. This same Spirit is available today, to all who turn to Jesus.

In "Seize the Year (Carpe Annum)," Pastor Dave Gustavsen challenges us to not use our skepticism toward New Year’s Resolutions as an excuse for settling in the new year ahead — because God wants us to move forward in 2025! Teaching from Philippians 3:12-14, he emphasizes the importance of moving forward by the pull of God, to love God, love people, and serve the world.
