Acts 4: When Ordinary People Become Unstoppable | Jamie Grisham

Fathers Day at Compassion Church | Bedridden & Paralyzed | Jamie Grisham

In Acts 9:32–35, we see a simple but powerful story: a man, a bed, a word, a healing, and a whole region changed.Aeneas had been bedridden and paralyzed for eight years, but when Peter spoke the name of Jesus over his situation, everything changed. Jesus didn’t just heal him — He called him to get up, take responsibility, and leave behind the place that had defined him for too long.This message is for anyone who feels stuck, shut down, spiritually passive, or tired of going through the motions. Because motion is not the same as progress, and comfort can quietly become a prison.Where have you become bedridden? In your marriage? Your integrity? Your calling? Your walk with God?Healing is a gift, but getting up is a choice.When one man got up, two towns were impacted. Aeneas didn’t preach a sermon — he lived one.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

The Great Interruption: Acts 9 | Jamie Grisham | Compassion Church Dickson

What happens when Jesus steps into the path of someone headed in the wrong direction? In Acts 9, we witness one of the most powerful transformations in Scripture as Saul, the church’s fiercest persecutor, encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and leaves forever changed.This message reminds us that radical change doesn’t always begin in a church building. Sometimes it starts on an unexpected road, in the middle of brokenness, failure, or uncertainty. Jesus still interrupts destructive paths, exposes spiritual blindness, and rewrites the purpose of anyone willing to surrender to Him.In this sermon, we explore:* How God’s interruptions are often acts of mercy, not punishment.* Why information without an encounter with Jesus can still leave us spiritually blind.* The obedience of Ananias and how one simple “yes” can impact generations.* How God’s grace is greater than your past, your failures, or your mistakes.* Why no one is too far gone for the transforming power of Christ.No matter where you’ve been or what road you’re on today, the same Jesus who met Saul is still calling people into new life. He still saves. He still heals. He still restores. And He still uses broken people for His glory.📖 Scripture: Acts 9:1–22If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that their story isn’t over.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

Changed by God. Used by God | Willie Simpson | Acts 8

What happens when God interrupts your plans?In Acts 8, we see the Gospel continue to spread despite persecution, opposition, and uncertainty. What looked like a setback for the early Church became a setup for God’s purpose. As believers were scattered, the message of Jesus spread farther than ever before.Pastor Willie Simpson walks through the powerful stories of Simon the Sorcerer, Philip, and the Ethiopian eunuch, reminding us that God still changes lives, fills His people with His Spirit, and uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.In this message, you’ll discover:• Why no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace• The importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit• Why discipleship is essential for spiritual growth• How God uses available and obedient people• The power of pointing people to Jesus• Why every believer has a next stepNo matter where you find yourself today—needing change like Simon, searching like the Ethiopian eunuch, or being called to obedience like Philip—God wants to work in and through your life.📖 Scripture: Acts 8:1-40🎙️ Sermon Title: Changed by God.

Looking Back and Pressing Forward | Acts 7 | Jamie Grisham

Looking Back and Pressing Forward | Acts 7 | The Faithfulness of God Through Every GenerationIn Acts 7, Stephen stands before the religious leaders and delivers one of the most powerful sermons in Scripture. As the early church is growing, miracles are happening, and the gospel is spreading, Stephen takes his listeners on a journey through Israel’s history, not simply to teach history, but to remind them of God's faithfulness.Sometimes we need to be reminded of what God has done so we can continue moving forward in faith.In this message, we look back at the lives of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and the story of the Tabernacle and Temple to see a God who has always been on the move, always faithful to His promises, and always writing a bigger story.🔹 Abraham – Faith to follow when the path is unclear🔹 Joseph – God is with us in both the pit and the palace🔹 Moses – God raises deliverers in dark times🔹 The Tabernacle & Temple – God's presence is not limited to a buildingStephen also gives a sobering warning: God's people often resist God's move. Acts 7:51 reminds us that we can be around the things of God and still resist the voice of God. The challenge is not simply to know the story, but to respond to the Spirit's leading today.In this sermon, we are challenged to:✅ Remember God's faithfulness✅ Repent of areas where we've resisted His leading✅ Receive fresh power from the Holy Spirit✅ Live and witness boldly like Stephen in our generationKey Scriptures:📖 Acts 6:15–7:8📖 Acts 7:51📖 Acts 7:54–60📖 Genesis 50:20📖 Romans 8:28📖 Hebrews 3:7–9No matter what season you're walking through, the same God who called Abraham, sustained Joseph, used Moses, and empowered Stephen is still at work today.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

Filled Up | Compassion Church Dickson | Tommy Hodges

What happens when ordinary people become filled with the Holy Spirit?In Acts 6, the early church was growing rapidly. Miracles were happening, lives were being changed, and the Gospel was spreading everywhere. But in the middle of revival, tension arose. Complaints spread. Widows were being overlooked. Division tried to enter the church.The apostles gathered the people together and made a powerful request: they did not ask for celebrities, businessmen, or the most educated people — they asked for men full of the Holy Spirit.This message dives deep into the life of Stephen, a man chosen to serve tables, yet filled with faith, wisdom, humility, and supernatural power. Acts 6 reminds us that no assignment is small when you are filled with the Spirit of God.In this sermon we explore:• Serving with humility• Walking in the power of the Holy Spirit• Speaking with wisdom• Shining in dark places• Living a daily Spirit-filled lifeThe world does not just need talented people. It needs Spirit-filled believers whose worship is real, whose prayers are alive, and whose lives shine brightly in darkness.“What fills you eventually shows on you. And when life squeezes you, what is inside comes out.”Scripture Reference: Acts 6:1–15If this message encouraged you, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.
