The Story Continues Pt. 6 – Faith Under Pressure (05/24/26)

May 24, 2026 In Part 6 of the Acts series, Faith Under Pressure, we explore one of the most intense turning points in the early church through Acts 7:54–8:8. Stephen’s faith is tested under extreme opposition. Yet, instead of fear and bitterness, his life reflects courage, forgiveness, and unwavering trust in Christ. This message examines how pressure reveals the depth of our spiritual roots, how God can use painful seasons to advance His mission, and why the gospel continues to bring hope even in difficult circumstances. When life presses in, what does our faith reveal?

The Story Continues Pt. 5 – When Church Gets Messy (05/17/26)

May 17, 2026 This week in our Acts series, we explore one of the most uncomfortable and challenging stories in the early church — Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1–10. Beneath the surface of this passage is a deeper question for every believer: Who are we when nobody is watching? In a culture obsessed with image, appearances, and performance, this message focuses on the importance of genuine spiritual integrity. Together, we examine the difference between reputation and character, why God cares so deeply about honesty and authenticity, and how integrity is formed through everyday faithfulness. This message is a practical and honest conversation about living undivided lives before God because, in the end, integrity is everything.

The Story Continues Pt. 4 – When Faith Gets Public (05/10/26)

May 10, 2026 What happens when faith stops being private? In Week 4 of the Acts series, When Faith Gets Public, we follow Peter and John as an ordinary day turns into a powerful public witness. Through Acts 3–4, we see how God works through everyday obedience, how faith often faces resistance, and how boldness grows from spending time with Jesus. This message challenges us to move beyond private belief and live out a visible faith through courage, compassion, integrity, and trust in God — even when it’s uncomfortable.

The Story Continues Pt. 3 – What the Spirit Produces (05/02/26)

May 2, 2026 What does a Spirit-filled life actually look like? In Acts 2:42–47, the explosive moment of Pentecost begins to reshape ordinary people into an extraordinary community. The early church wasn’t defined merely by emotional experiences or dramatic miracles, but by devotion, unity, generosity, worship, and a shared mission that transformed the world around them. In Part 3 of the Acts series, “What the Spirit Produces,” we explore how the Holy Spirit changes not only what we believe, but how we live together. This message challenges us to consider whether the Spirit is simply something we talk about—or whether He is actively producing transformation within us and through us.

The Story Continues Pt. 2 – Power for a Purpose (04/26/26)

April 26, 2026 What happens when God actually shows up? In Part 2 of our Acts series, we step into Acts 2:1–21—the moment the Holy Spirit arrives at Pentecost. What begins with wind and fire quickly becomes something deeper: ordinary people being filled, transformed, and sent. This message cuts through the noise and emotion often associated with Pentecost and gets to the heart of it—God’s presence is not something we control, it’s something we receive. And when His Spirit fills us, it’s not just about what we feel… it’s about who we become.
