We encounter a unique character and situation during our study in Acts 8:9-25. We're introduced to a man named "Simon who had previously practiced magic." Listen in as Pastor Josh hones in on three main points:1) True salvation returns glory to its proper recipient2) True salvation changes more than your outward actions3) True salvation comes through repentance, not fearAnd so, we recall the words Peter spoke in Acts 4:11-12 - "This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, w...

Our study through the book of Acts continues as we begin chapter eight. Pastor Josh tackles the reality of persecution among believers and draws out two key points:1) Our problematic perspective on persecution2) God's providential plan in persecutionOur God is in the business of taking what looks like dire situations and turning them for His ultimate plan.

And so as we open to chapter six and read about Stephen, we witness a great example of how to be a person of impact. 1) It starts with Godly character2) Guided by God's WordStephen was full and bold, being "full of grace...

We'll dwell on three points during our time:1) The importance of avoiding unwarranted internal conflict2) The liberating power of "no"3) The expansive potential of multiplying ministryThe Spirit-ordained results shown in verse 7 should fill us with hope, "And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many priests became obe...

We're eagerly stepping into 2022 with the goal of living On Mission for Jesus Christ. As we take intentional steps towards that, we're planning ahead. We're aiming to visit 3,000 neighboring homes this year, in hopes of telling others about our Jesus. Paul calls us to "put on the whole armor of God" in Ephesians 6, so we aim to clothe ourselves with truth, Christ's righteousness, gospel readiness, faith, salvation and God's Word. In addition, we want to be a church who presents trut...

As we conclude our What Matters Most series, it's important that we align our lives around the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. With Luke 3 as our anchor text, we observe two key principles:1) The conditions in the culture made it ripe for change2) The parallel priority for preparing the wayWe must be those who warn people with the truth and live a life that backs it up. The word from Revelation 22 should echo in our lives, "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming so...

May it be in Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life and died the death we deserved so that by placing our faith in His work, we can be saved!This message was rec...

The wise men present us with the clear truth that the object and posture of our worship matters. As we look at Matthew 2, we find three thoughts to consider:1) God's perfect Word outlines the sole focus of worship2) God's providential light illuminates the true object of worship3) God's proper example reveals the essentials components of worshipWorship to God comes from an attitude of humility and is displayed in both an outpouring of generosity and a recognition of His kingship.This message ...
