Speaking in Tongues | The Divine Pattern

After introducing the baptism of the Holy Spirit last week, Pastor Nathan takes a deeper look at one of the most misunderstood gifts of the Spirit: speaking in tongues. Walking through Acts, 1 Corinthians, Romans, and Jude, this message explores what tongues are, why they appear throughout Acts, how they function within the church, and why Paul says not to forbid them. Rather than rejecting the gifts of the Spirit out of fear or misunderstanding, this sermon calls the church to pursue both Spirit and truth, becoming a people strengthened, encouraged, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit | Acts 18:24-19:7

Apollos knew the Scriptures. The disciples in Ephesus believed in Jesus. Their hearts were sincere and their understanding was correct, but incomplete. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan challenges the modern church to stop settling for “just enough” Christianity and to rediscover the power of the Holy Spirit. We were never called to simply get in the door, we were called to walk in power.

We Are the Watchmen | Acts 18:1-23

This week we’re wrapping up Paul’s second missionary journey as he leaves Athens for Corinth, where he takes a different approach, relying not on persuasive words but on demonstrations of the Spirit and of power. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan reminds us that we are the watchmen. When God calls us to move, to speak, or to step in, we may worry about looking foolish, but we’re stepping into something He’s already been at work in. It’s not about us; it’s about trusting that God is working through every moment for His glory.

Truth or Trend | Acts 17:10-34

When Paul arrives in Athens, he encounters a culture obsessed with new ideas, personal truth, and human wisdom. In contrast, the Bereans search the Scriptures daily to test what they hear against the Word of God. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan reminds us how to discern truth in a world full of shifting ideas and false teaching.

Fight or Flight | Acts 16:35 - 1 7:9

When Paul and Silas are released from prison, they don’t quietly move on. Instead, they make a bold decision that helps shape the future of the church. In this sermon, we’re challenged to rethink how we respond to hardship. What if the situations we want to escape are actually the ones God wants to use?
