On Paul and Barnabas’s first Missionary Journey they encounter a people understandably all over the place without a firm foundation upon Jesus. Ultimately the truth they must come to not just cognitively believe but practically live out is, ‘If God has come in the likeness of man, listen to Him!’

In the midst of vast expansion and an explosion of influence of the early church… comes conflict. For the church, then and now, it is critical that we know who it is that we are facing in conflict, and that we ‘fight’ accordingly.

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.
