In Acts 16, the Holy Spirit redirects Paul’s plans, showing that God leads His people to specific places and people in His timing. Yet as the mission unfolds, the church begins to grow through people from very different backgrounds. God guides the mission with precision, and He brings together all kinds of people to build His church. This week’s sermon reminds us that when Christ is truly King, our differences don’t divide us, they strengthen the body of Christ.

In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas part ways after a sharp disagreement, but what looks like division becomes multiplication. This week’s sermon explores the difference between theological error and personal preference, and what happens when we cling more tightly to traditions than to Jesus Himself. Are we seeking symbols, structures, and familiarity or are we seeking the presence of God?

Acts 15 makes it clear we are saved by grace not by the law. But grace was never meant to produce distance or indifference. In covenant with Christ, love should flow both ways. This message challenges us to consider whether our faith reflects a living relationship or something that has grown cold.

From poisoned minds in Iconium to powerful faith in Lystra, Acts 14 reveals that the greatest battleground is in the mind. This week’s sermon challenges us to examine what voices we’re listening to and whether we truly believe God’s promises are for us.

Have we grown used to being near the truth without being changed by it? In Acts 13, Paul proclaims the gospel in the synagogue to those already familiar with the Scriptures, and they walk away unchanged. The chapter reveals a broader range of responses, as familiarity leads some to opposition while those without prior knowledge hunger for the truth. The chapter carries both the grief of watching people walk away and the warning that familiarity can quietly keep us from truly encountering God.

Many of us feel a tension between what we sense God has placed on our hearts and where we currently find ourselves. In this sermon from Acts 13, Pastor Nathan walks through how calling is formed—not in rushing ahead, but in daily obedience, prayer, and trust. Using the early church and Paul’s own journey, we’re reminded that God’s timing is intentional and His process is purposeful. Stepping into your calling begins long before anything feels official or visible.

Are we trusting God’s goodness only when outcomes feel fair, or even when they don’t? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan walks through Acts 12, where James is executed, Peter is imprisoned and delivered, and Herod is ultimately judged. The passage reveals a God who is sovereign over every outcome, even when His purposes don’t align with our expectations. It’s a reminder that faith is required both when prayers are answered and when they aren’t, and that God is still at work in both.

Loss can feel disorienting, especially when it comes suddenly and seems to cut a story short. In Acts 12:1–2, the early church faces the death of James, one of Jesus’ closest disciples, and is forced to reckon with grief that doesn’t come with easy explanations. This week’s sermon reminds us that while Jesus doesn’t spare us from loss, He is the only one who can bring true hope in the midst of it. And in our mourning, God draws near—often through the presence of His people, bearing one another’s burdens together.

Acts 11 shows us the moment believers were first called “Christians” and what it truly meant to carry that name. This message explores how the early church grew through humility, shared responsibility, and a deep commitment to one another. From Barnabas lifting others up to believers meeting real needs, we see a picture of a healthy, Christ-centered church. It’s a call to take our identity seriously and faithfully play our part in the body of Christ.

Are we treating our faith like an elective—something we add on, rather than something that shapes everything else? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan walks through Acts 10, where God extends the gospel to the Gentiles and calls Peter to confront long-held cultural norms and prejudices. It’s a reminder that even years into walking with Jesus, God faithfully reveals the places that still need to be transformed.
