God Changes Hearts

Acts 10 marks a major turning point in the story of the early church as God begins to reveal that the gospel is for all people. Through the stories of Cornelius and Peter, we see how God goes before us in changing hearts and preparing the way for His purposes.

A People Is Formed

What does a Holy Spirit–empowered life look like in everyday life? In this message from Acts 2:42–47, we look at how the early church lived after Pentecost, once the excitement of the moment gave way to ordinary days. Luke shows us a people formed by steady devotion to Scripture, community, and prayer. This sermon invites us to consider what truly shapes our lives and reminds us that following Jesus is not an add-on, but a life fully devoted to Him—and to the practices that form us as His people.

Come Holy Spirit

In this message, we explore the powerful arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost—the moment the church was forever changed. We’ll see how the Spirit empowers ordinary people to live boldly, love deeply, and share the good news with courage.

We Wait

After Jesus ascended, his disciples faced a time of waiting—waiting for the promised Holy Spirit and the power to be his witnesses. This message from Acts 1 reminds us that waiting is not passive but an active time of prayer and dependence on God’s timing and power. As we begin this new series, we’re invited to follow the early church’s example by waiting together in prayer for God’s empowering presence today.

Living a Life of Gratitude

How should we respond to God’s goodness—especially in both joyful and difficult seasons? In this message from Ephesians 5:1–4 and 17–20, we are invited to see thanksgiving not as a feeling, but as a way of life. Scripture teaches that gratitude is proper for every Christian, possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, and deeply profitable for our spiritual lives. This sermon calls us to live with hearts of continual thanksgiving—recognizing God’s faithfulness in every circumstance as we look back with gratitude and step forward in faith.
