The Weight of Glory - 05.17.26 - Kyle Morris

We are worse than we think, but more loved than we could ever imagine - 06.07.26 - Kyle Morris

The sermon walks through the conversion of Saul in Acts 9, showing that Saul was not searching for Jesus, but Jesus was searching for him. Saul was a highly educated, deeply religious Pharisee who sincerely believed he was serving God while violently persecuting the church, yet Jesus met him on the road to Damascus and transformed him by grace. The message emphasizes that if there is hope for Saul, there is hope for all, reminding us to keep praying for prodigals and lost loved ones because no one is beyond the reach of Christ. Saul’s story also shows that the Gospel both confronts and consoles us: we are worse sinners than we think, but more loved than we could ever imagine. Through Ananias and Barnabas, the sermon highlights the courage and cost of extending grace, forgiving enemies, and welcoming transformed people into the family of God. In the end, Saul becomes Paul, a bold witness for Jesus, showing that the same Gospel that saves us also compels us to ask, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”  Find out more about us at revivearvada.org

The Desert Road - 05.31.26 - Tim Corbin

This sermon walks through Acts 8:26-40 and the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, showing that the mission of Jesus is truly unstoppable because the Holy Spirit is always leading His people toward those He is already preparing. Tim highlights how Philip obeyed when God called him away from a fruitful ministry in Samaria and onto a hidden, inconvenient desert road, reminding us that God’s mission is not measured by crowd size but by faithfulness to follow His voice. The Ethiopian man was searching, hungry, and reading Isaiah 53, and Philip simply came alongside him as a “spiritual tour guide,” pointing him to the good news of Jesus. The sermon challenges us to listen for the Spirit, pay attention to the people God has placed in our lives, ask “Who is my one?”, and take next steps of obedience, including baptism. In the end, the Ethiopian goes on his way rejoicing, Philip continues preaching, and the Gospel keeps moving because God is still drawing people to Jesus through ordinary believers who are willing to follow Him down the desert road.  Find out more about us at revivearvada.org

The Gospel to Everyone and Everywhere - 05.24.26 - Kyle Morris

This sermon from Acts 8 shows how God used persecution, suffering, and even the death of Stephen to push the gospel beyond Jerusalem and into Judea and Samaria, proving that what the enemy meant for evil, God used to move His mission forward. As the church scattered, ordinary believers carried the good news with them, reminding us that the mission belongs to every Spirit-filled follower of Jesus, not just pastors or church leaders. Through Philip’s ministry in Samaria, we see that the gospel crosses boundaries, brings joy where it is least expected, and confronts counterfeit spirituality that wants spiritual power without surrender. The story of Simon exposes the danger of being near the things of God without truly being submitted to God, while the Samaritans receiving the Holy Spirit shows that Jesus is building one united church under one Lord. The call of the sermon is clear: every Christian is sent by Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and invited to live and love like Jesus right where they are, carrying the gospel to everyone and everywhere.  Find out more about us at revivearvada.org

The Weight of Glory - 05.17.26 - Kyle Morris

This sermon walks through Acts 6:8–7:60 and the story of Stephen, an ordinary man full of faith and the Holy Spirit who courageously stands before false accusations, suffering, and death with his eyes fixed on Jesus. Stephen’s speech shows that the temple and the law were never meant to be ultimate, but were signposts pointing to the greater reality of Christ, the Righteous One who fulfilled the law and made a way for sinners to be made right with God. His death reveals what Spirit-filled courage looks like: not denying suffering, but seeing that the temporary weight of pain cannot compare with the eternal weight of glory. Like the 21 Coptic Christians who died with the name of Jesus on their lips, Stephen reminds us that followers of Jesus can suffer and even die with hope, forgiveness, and peace because Jesus is alive, standing in glory, and ready to receive His people. His martyrdom also becomes a turning point in Acts, as persecution scatters the church and the Gospel continues to advance.  Find out more about us at revivearvada.org
