Peter yet again is miraculously rescued from what would've been certain martyrdom under Herod. Elsewhere there are people of the church that tragically lose their life to the fury of persecution coming against the young church. This is a lesson of the sovereignty of God - So how can we make sense of his reign when he seems to act at some points and not at others? Join us on this journey this weekend.

We assume God’s will is to take us the shortest, most efficient distance between where we are, who we’re dealing with, what it takes, to where he wants us to be. But God often uses inefficiencies and detours, because he’s INVITING! God’s purposes and his church are supposed to take what he does in and through us from the INSIDE-OUT!

God’s Kingdom reaches EVERYONE! Journey with Jesus’s movement through the young church and glean the ways God is still calling ordinary disciples to do extraordinary things.

A young man named Saul becomes the pivot point, not just for the book of Acts, but for the expansion of the Gospel worldwide. While the enemy intended to snuff out the expansion of the church, Jesus in turn begins his surprising pursuit of the church’s greatest enemy – and of you and me!

Right in the very midst of massive church expansion is a serious cost in people’s lives. If it was true with Jesus, if it was true with the early church, if it’s taught throughout the New Testament, why would we think it would be any different for us? Is our faith worth dying for? How about living for?

In this message Pastor Mackenzie Matthews explores the power of living “All-in” as we see it in Acts chapter 4 and 5. We unpack the shocking moment of dishonesty with Ananias and Sapphira, and how we approach knowing ourselves honestly before God.

When God desires to do a fresh thing in us and through us, his Spirit enlarges our capacity and empowers us. The more we recognize and live in this sort of filling the more boldly we will live. But for lives that may already feel (or truly be) full, how much more ‘full’ can we get? How full is full?

On the day of the birth of the Church, we see the Spirit of God working in both high-drama and faithful obedience spaces. The very same God is in power and at work in our seasons of high drama/intensity and also steady seasons of faithfulness.
