It's so amazing to realize that God sent the most dangerous weapon against the devil in the form of a baby. Join us for a special Christmas sermon as we recognize and celebrate the real reason for the season.

What creates a teardrop? We could say that it’s the lacrimal glands above each eye that create them or that it’s our limbic system that causes the teardrop to fall down the side of our face, but Acts 20 holds the real reason as to how tears are created. The Apostle Paul was someone who wept over souls. He spent much time with the people of God, and it pained him to be torn away from them when the time came to journey to Jerusalem. Paul was a great example of what it is like to build a kingdom of tears - someone who pours so much into the kingdom of God that many times tears are the only ministry left to give. Dive into this Acts extension to open up your tear ducts and open up your heart to all that God has for His Church.

As followers of Christ, we possess powerful testimonies. Whether rooted in a Christian upbringing or coming from challenging backgrounds, each of us carries a unique testimony worth sharing. What makes our testimonies so special is their origin— Jesus. In Acts 26, we witness Paul's final chapter recapping his story before encountering Jesus. In his testimony, Paul consistently emphasized the foundation of his story, referring to the "message of light" that Jesus brought to both Jews and Gentiles. Join us as we dig into Paul's testimony, learning how we can effectively communicate our own testimonies too.

Although Paul treated everyone under Heaven equal, both Jew and Gentile, slave and free, rich and poor, he reserved his deepest love for Christians. It didn’t matter their background and upbringing or where they lived or whether or not they were new to the faith or followed Jesus for years. You can see by Luke’s writings that Paul held believers in Jesus closest to his heart. This is so unique because he wasn’t just about the work of an evangelist, catch up in winning unbelievers to Jesus, but he also had the heart of a pastor to train and equip the church. As an apostle, he was so well-rounded in his approach to ministry! You can see this passion come out strong in Acts 20. From the list of traveling companions that are with him that speak of his heart, nature, and ministry to his time in Troas where he spends the entire night in communion with the believers, developing them further in the teachings of Jesus. Get ready to lean into this part 1 of 2 Actstension made to teach you all about Paul’s final days before he arrives in Jerusalem.

We're sprinting into 2024 with a vision that's about to take us WORLDWIDE.

It’s the end of the third and final missionary journey! A journey to Jerusalem to share the Gospel becomes the end of travels for Paul and his companions but never the end of the Gospel being shared. Whether it be the discernment of Paul as he listens to the Holy Spirit while others oppose him or the fact that Paul had to be arrested in order to be saved, it’s all a bittersweet ending that still manages to keep you on your toes. Get ready to follow Paul in Acts 21 to the city where it all began!

If you’ve ever been in court while a trial or hearing is taking place then you know that it’s a slightly anxious setting. There are hardships and difficulties that you have to press through with each minute that passes by. This was the stage that was set for Paul in Acts 23 & 24 as he faced the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and Governor Felix in Caesarea. Why did Paul have to endure this? Because he clung to the plan that the Lord revealed to him in Acts 23:11 that he must go to Rome. So with that in mind he stood on trial and faced many trials in order to be faithful to the purpose that Jesus had in store for him. Follow along in this Actstension as we uncover Paul’s 2 year season in Caesarea, on trial and under arrest in Herod’s palace.

In this final Dangerous Volume, this bitter-sweet cap on the exegesis of the book of Acts highlights the last years of Paul's ministry and the foundation of the Church being formed.

The Acts of the Apostles is a book full of citizens! From Syria to Macedonia to Rome, Paul and his companions met citizens, both Jew and Gentile, all throughout the Roman Empire. Each city had unique customs and traditions, landscapes and laws, gods, temples, and idols that made them proud to be a citizen of their community. But little did they know, the apostle Paul was sent by God to show them another citizenship. One not received because of your name, location, or birth but because of His Name, a future location, and a life-changing rebirth through the cross of Christ. Let’s begin this journey together to educate our hearts and minds from Paul’s fourth sermon recorded in the book of Acts!
