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.

Acts chapter 1 begins the hinge-point, transition-point between Luke's Gospel of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the accounts Acts of the Apostles. Postured in awe and amazement with everything they have seen and experienced from Jesus, the final words of Jesus calls his people to wait upon him to enter into what he has for them next.
