You Have Something to Give | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

A lame man asked Peter and John for money. They didn't have any. They gave him something better. Most of us walk past needs every day, not because we're cold-hearted, but because we feel under-resourced. We think if we had more money, more time, more training, we would help. But we don't, so we don't. Pastor Jeremy unpacks the story of Acts 3 and reveals a truth that could change how you see every need you encounter: you have more to give than you think, because the power and presence of God already live in you. Key Scriptures: Acts 3:1–10 | 1 Corinthians 6 | 1 Corinthians 12:7 | 1 Corinthians 12:11 | Romans 12:6–8 | Ephesians 1 | Ephesians 3:20 | Deuteronomy 33:25 Response Questions 1. Where is your "Beautiful Gate," the place you regularly pass by and have trained yourself to walk past because you feel like you don't have enough to offer? 2. What has the Holy Spirit actually placed in you, not what you wish you had or what others say they want, that you can give at that gate? 3. Are you willing to respond like Peter and John, with your eyes by truly seeing someone, your words by offering what you have, and your hands by taking action?

The Power of Both | Pastor Noah Ray | Sunday Service

Are you a Word person or a Spirit person? Pastor Noah Ray says that question is part of the problem. The church has often split into two houses, one that loves Scripture and sound doctrine, and one that loves the manifest presence and power of God. But the New Testament never separates them. The Word and the Spirit were always meant to work together. All Word and no Spirit, we dry up. All Spirit and no Word, we blow up. With both, we grow up. Pastor Noah breaks down three ways the Word and Spirit work in concert and what it actually looks like to live as a Word-and-Spirit person. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 2:9–14 | 2 Timothy 3:16–17 | Hebrews 4:12 | Deuteronomy 8:11 Response Questions 1. If you're honest, do you lean more toward a "Word house" or a "Spirit house," and what would it look like to grow in the area you've neglected? 2. The Holy Spirit reveals both God's Word and God's ways. Where do you understand what God said but still struggle to know his heart? 3. Of the four things the Spirit does, teaching what is true, rebuking what is wrong, correcting what is broken, and training us in what is right, which one is God working on in you right now?

The Spirit Empowered Table | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

Most of us treat communion as a quiet moment of remembrance. But the early church was devoted to it. Not occasionally. Constantly. When the Spirit fell at Pentecost, the first thing the church devoted itself to was the breaking of bread. Because at this table, something more than memory happens. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we participate in the sacrifice, the resurrection, and the mission of Jesus. Pastor Jeremy unpacks what it actually means to come to the Lord's table and why communion is not the end of the service. It is the launchpad. Key Scriptures: Acts 2:42–47 | 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 | John 14:16–17 | John 14:26 | John 15:26–27 | John 16:7–11 | John 17 Response Questions 1. When you come to communion, are you mainly going through a ritual or actively participating in the sacrifice, resurrection, and mission of Jesus, and what is the difference in how you approach it? 2. Where do you need the Spirit to empower you right now, in dying to yourself, living in resurrection hope, or stepping into mission? 3. Is there anything you are holding onto, bitterness, isolation, or unconfessed sin, that is keeping you from fully receiving what God offers at this table?

The God Who Gives | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

God's primary love language is giving. From the first breath of creation to the cross to Pentecost, the entire story of Scripture is the story of a God who opens his hands. The Holy Spirit is not a reward for spiritual elites. He is a promise for everyone God calls, poured out lavishly, not sparingly. The question is not whether God is willing to give. The question is how we respond when he does. Pastor Jeremy traces God's generosity from Genesis to Acts 2 and unpacks what it looks like to stop striving for what God is already eager to give. Key Scriptures: Acts 2:36–41 | Genesis 1:29 | Genesis 2:15–17 | John 3:16 | Romans 5:8 | Luke 11:11–13 | James 1:16–18 | John 15 | 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 | Psalm 127:1–2 Response Questions 1. Where in your life are you striving to produce something that God is actually inviting you to receive, and what would it look like to shift from striving to abiding? 2. How does seeing God as a generous giver rather than a reluctant provider change the way you approach prayer, worship, and how you use what he has given you? 3. Of the three responses to God's gifts, asking, gratitude, and faithful stewardship, which one is hardest for you right now, and why?

What Happens When God Comes Near | Pastor Jeremy Saylor | Sunday Service

Wind. Fire. Language. Most people read Acts 2 and focus on what's happening on the surface. But these three signs are echoing something that goes all the way back to Genesis. Pentecost is not an isolated miracle. It is the moment God's long-promised homecoming finally arrives, and the place he chooses to dwell is not a building. It's people. Pastor Jeremy unpacks the three signposts of Pentecost and what it means that the same wind still blows, the same fire still falls, and the same Spirit is still sending the church into the world today. Key Scriptures: Acts 2:1–13 | Acts 2:15–21 | Genesis 1 | Genesis 2 | Ezekiel 37 | John 20 | Genesis 11 | Isaiah 11:9 | Ephesians 5:18 | 2 Timothy 1 | Matthew 16 | Romans 10 | James 4:1–10 | Revelation 21:3 Response Questions 1. Of the three signposts, wind, fire, and language, which one most reflects what you need from God right now, and what would it look like to receive it? 2. If the church is now the dwelling place of God rather than a building, how does that change the way you think about your own life and what you carry into the world? 3. Where have you grown empty, cold, or quiet in your faith, and what is one step you can take this week to receive fresh breath, fresh fire, or fresh courage to speak?
