Oppositional Thriving - Week 13

Oppositional Thriving - Week 13

After the death of Stephen, resistance immediately arose and the disciples scattered into the surrounding regions. We see the Gospel continue to spread and His Kingdom continue to increase in spite of the persecution threats.

Stephen's Story - Week 12

We all live with a gap, the space between who we say we are in Christ and how we actually live. In Acts 5, that gap is exposed. In Acts 7, Stephen shows us what it looks like to close it.

Dangerously Distracted - Week 11

In this sermon from Acts 6:1–7, we look at a turning point in the early church where the enemy changes tactics: from external persecution to internal distraction and division. As Greek-speaking and Hebrew-speaking believers clash over neglected widows, we see a very real, very human church that suddenly isn’t “perfect” anymore, and we learn why that’s actually good news for us.

Faithful in Troubles - Week 10

The early church viewed persecution as a mark of faithfulness. Today, have we compromised for comfort? We must obey God rather than man. When we're truly faithful to Christ, opposition will come, but God's purposes cannot be stopped.

Honestly Generous - Week 9

Generosity thrives when distance dies. The early church had one heart, one soul, nothing hidden. We want to look surrendered without being surrendered. But God wants your honesty more than your money. Close the gap between who you are and who you appear to be. Be real.
